Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Just in case anyone out there is still wondering why they can't use Juice Plus supplements, I want to clarify that at least ONE ingredient in them, glucomannan, is illegal on SCD. Here is another intersting tidbit on Juice Plus that you need to know. From Wikipedia: <<A 2003 placebo-controlled study Dr. R.J. and colleagues [2] from the University of Utah, showed that vitamin-fortified Juice Plus Gummie candies did not significantly improve the antioxidant status of subjects, according to the results of 6 different antioxidant tests. The authors stated " It is possible that the supplement did not contain enough of the proper antioxidants to make a significant difference or that the antioxidants extracted in the fruit/vegetable extract were not biologically available " . They also showed that the product consisted mainly of 2 ingredients: corn syrup (85%) and beef gelatin (10%). >> Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
