Sibu juice--pasteurized?

[Guest guest]

I have a friend trying to sell me Sibu juice from the Seabuckthorn

berry. She says the juice is even more potent than Goji or Acai

(higher ORAC). I am wondering whether this juice, and all these other

berry drinks, are pasteurized? And if so, wouldn't this kill alot of

the nutritional content?

 

Thanks,

Beth

Hi Beth,

Yes, pasteurization destroys many nutrients. Standard food pasteurization is

161F, chosen because at this temperature the last of the food enzymes is

destroyed. Many other nutrients are damaged, as well.

 

Having addressed that question, one might raise another: what makes you

believe there are " superfoods " or " miracle foods " or whatever? (Aside from

the rather incessant promotional messages in that regard.) Have you ever

met, or known anyone who has met, someone who has become a super-person as a

result of eating " superfoods? "

 

You would serve yourself far better by eating whole foods, as we are

designed to eat and to digest. Just a thought to consider.

Elchanan, I thought this Sibu juice product was a whole food. It is from

the Seabuckthorn berry and is supposedly really high in anti-oxidants.

Aren't there a lot of raw foodists who tout certain healing properties of

various whole foods?.like David Wolfe saying how great chocolate is. Many

of us are juicing to get all the vitamins from whole foods. I was thinking

this would be another healthy juice option if it wasn't pasteurized.
