Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Gavin, If you live near a Co-op that is the best supermarket to shop at. They label food suitable food as vegan. This includes fruit juices which are free from some of the usual stumbling blocks. Other Co-op brand drinks are probably appropriately labelled as well, but I don't notice because it's fruit juice I'm inot.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 I guess it also depends on the reason why you are becoming a vegan. If its a health issue, then you might like to consider that most of these soft drinks are full of rubbish and not healthy at all.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Juice is okay, I was thinking more of ordinary *soft drinks* like squashes, colas, lemonades etc. Jane - " Soche id " <socheid <vegan-network > Wednesday, November 21, 2001 9:42 PM Re: [100% veg*n ] Drinks to avoid > Fruit juice is healthy.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 I am sure that there is a lot out there worse than fruit juice in terms of unhealthy, but I am not sold on the idea of processed fruit juice as being all that healthy!! A lot of fruit being taken in without any fibre to retard the intake of sugars blows the mind in terms of truly healthy. Am I being a little (or a lot) anal here? I think I know the answer, and will shut up now!! vegan-network, Soche id <socheid> wrote: > Fruit juice is healthy.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 I can certainly see your point, but at least it's natural. Sure it may contain harmful pesticides and other things which could be carcienoginic (yes, I spelt that wrong, so don't blame me if you have to write an essay on cancer causing agents), but there is a point where you have to stop being dumb and just drink the juice. It's nice and sweet and tastes really good. I have never liked fizzy drinks anyway. They suck. About the fibre not being there to balance, this is a valid point, but at least the sugar is not added, it is proper natural fructose, and the only real harm I see it doing in normal quantities is damaging your teeth a bit! If you drink masses and masses, I think you could have problems with excessive Vitamin C intake - I can't rememeber what these effects are, but I'm sure I read about them somewhere. When I have apple juice (definitely my favourite drink of all) I usually have a few glasses at once, and have been known to drink full litre cartons on occassion. It doesn't do me any harm, and I even have still decent teeth, despite my fairly poor dental care re & #285;ime. Yes, I am lazy! vegan-network, " Jason " <bigbunnyboy> wrote: > I am sure that there is a lot out there worse than fruit juice in > terms of unhealthy, but I am not sold on the idea of processed fruit > juice as being all that healthy!! > A lot of fruit being taken in without any fibre to retard the intake > of sugars blows the mind in terms of truly healthy. > Am I being a little (or a lot) anal here? > I think I know the answer, and will shut up now!! > > > vegan-network, Soche id <socheid> wrote: > > Fruit juice is healthy.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 liquid in a bottle (fruit flavoured normally) that you mix with water to make a soft frink. Sorry! Our countries are so alike, and yet so different.
