Re: day 1 post fast

I disagree with this completely. Fructose is nothing like refined Sugar and proper unbiased research will show this. Fructose is the very Sugar our bodies are evolved to digest as opposed to the refined sugars and grains that it learns to convert leading to many problems including those you describe. Unfortunately once our bodies have those problems created by ingesting too much artificial sugars any sugars can add to the problem. But nothing can change the fact that fructose is good for us and the very Sugar it functions best on, and it will never CAUSE problems on it's own.

And the only bought juices you should consider buying are ones that have no additives or preservatives , bottled (cartoned) and sealed immediately upon pressing and therefore (almost) as fresh as if you did it yourself. Without preservatives any mould would multiply immediately on opening if not before and the juice would be off within a very short space of time. And if that happened these juices would not be commercially viable.

I would only agree with your statements if made against sugar fortified and juices made from concentrates. These indeed make up the most of the commercially available juices on the market today and are more than likely what your research is based on. They are not fresh but refined to the point of not being acceptable food any more, certainly little better than soft drinks.

So pick on the evil 'juices' and leave the fresh ones alone! :p
