Re: Rosemary may be the most powerful thing I have ever juiced.

wow, that is pretty cool

So the rosemary flavor was not overpowering? Seems like it would be

I think maybe the white stuff was likely candida

Here's some interesting information about one the oils in Rosemary, Rosemarinic acid

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosmarinic_acid#Biological_importance


Because of the antioxidant activity of Lamiaceaeous herbs in laboratory test models they have been suggested to have beneficial effects in humans.[4] Rosmarinic acid has a number of interesting biological activities, e.g. antiviral, antibacterial, antiinflammatory and antioxidant. It is also a potential anxiolytic as it acts as a GABA transaminase inhibitor. The presence of rosmarinic acid in medicinal plants, herbs and spices has beneficial and health promoting effects. In plants, rosmarinic acid is supposed to act as a preformed constitutively accumulated defense compound.[5]

Apparently Rosemary also contains caffeic acid (which is unrelated to caffeine), which has some interesting biological effects
