Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I got back on the juicing wagon about a month ago and noticed after about a week my joints started bothering me. After about 3 weeks they were really killing me and I wondered if there was a correlation. Sure enough 2 days after I stopped juicing my joints quit hurting and have been fine ever since. I was drinking about 20 oz. of 50/50 kale/carrot juice per day. Anyone have any thoughts on why this was happening? Detox?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 My sister found a similar problem and it ended when she dropped the greens to about 10% of her juice. Don't know why, it was just her experience.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hi, I suspect that although it may indeed be good to have SOME greens, one can also have too many. I think some of the raw gurus go overboard with the green juices, which are possibly more useful for people with cancer or something than for your average Joe. There's a line of thought that plants have toxic chemicals in them to prevent themselves being eaten, but the fruit doesn't because, of course, it would make no sense. I also don't really believe the fashionable assertion that veggie juices are good and fruit juices are bad (because of the sugar). Sugars (and fats) are the body's only fuels. We need to get them from somewhere!
