What's the deal with juicing?

You’ve heard the talk. Yes, everyone’s juicing but you.

 

So, what’s the deal? Well, here it is: juicing takes all the fiber

out of your favorite fruits and veggies so all that’s left is the good

stuff.

Jeff, what are you publishing????

 

The fiber is essential, it IS part of the good stuff. This is truly nonsense

.... destructive nonsense, at that.

Elchanan,

 

Look more closely at the article... I didn't publish the article! I

passed on a link to an article regarding raw foods. Like it or not,

juicing is still a part of raw foods. It is also vegan. If you believe

juicing to be nonsense, write a letter to the editor, not directed at

me to this list (don't shoot the messenger!).

 

Fiber is an important part of nutrition. Humans evolved consuming raw

fibrous plant-based foods for millions of years. BTW, juice (IMO) is

far better than soda, coffee, alcohol, etc. and has a definite place

in our society. If raw foodists wish to consume fresh organic

juices... more power to them. It is their choice. I will likely still

drink fresh organic juice on occasion. Similarly, I will likely still

eat non-mono meals. There are still plenty of imperfections in my

diet, though I eat 100%. My diet doesn't need criticism. Consider

leading by example. Some day I may eat an entirely wild-crafted raw

mono diet. I'm not there yet. I'm sure most of the members on this

list are also not their yet. They make choices. Feel free to offer

them information to help them make informed choices. Calling something

" nonsense " , I suggest, doesn't do much to convince people to stop it.

 

I will continue passing on links to raw-related articles in the media

to this list. There will likely be aspects of the articles that are

not perfect and deserving of correction. I write letters to the

editors and/or add comments on the pages with the articles. That is

the place to be critical. If you choose to be critical on this list,

please direct it appropriately. Instead of condescension, consider

offering constructive comments about the articles.
