Whole Foods vs. Juicing (WAS: Sibu juice--pasteurized?)

[Guest guest]

Hi Beth,

I really appreciate your curiosity and genuine desire to understand. There

are indeed SO many different voices. I can only suggest listening with great

care to the ones that have products for sale.

 

When you juice, you remove the fiber (and many other nutrients stuck in the

fiber). If you remove the fiber, you no longer have a whole food. There is

no human-made juice that is a whole food.

 

Yes, many who are selling things tell us how wonderful are the things they

are selling. This does not, however, create any requirement that we buy

these things, nor does a message become more " valid " or " correct " just

because it is repeated. We tend to believe what we hear repeatedly ... I

suggest otherwise.

 

Now, if you do choose to drink juices, then in every case of which I am

aware, fresh (immediately after pressing or ripping) is best. Pressed is

better than ripped. Raw is better than cooked (pasteurized). Flash

pasteurized is better than standard pasteurized. But always remember that

ALL these processes constitute steps along a continuum away from whole foods

and toward refined foods. The output is never a whole food. Some may be more

removed than others, but they are all refined foods.

 

Now about that chocolate ... There is one marketer on Earth, of whom I am

aware, that claims this stuff is actually a health food. And he has to

refine it from the beans and sweeten it, at the VERY least, before he can

even begin to eat it.

 

Up to you!

Elchanan

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.

 

Thanks,

 

Beth
