Re: Anyone here juice?
I don't think it is a good idea. It's a big shot of sugar.
This is from Pam Killeens site. She is really against it. When I went to see Dr Marino in 2008, he also recommended against it for those with AF. Too much of a sugar swing.

No. Juicing is a fad and has no historical precedence. Please don't juice for the following reasons: 1) It is a highly concentrated source of sugar and, as such, can dysregulate your blood sugar. 2) Plant-based foods tend to be high in copper and low in zinc, therefore, concentrated plant juices could disrupt the Zn:Cu ratio. Man evolved on animal foods, which tend to be high in zinc and low in copper -- closer to the correct ratio. 3) Plant-based foods tend to be high in potassium and low in sodium, therefore concentrated plant juices could disrupt the Na:K ratio. Man evolved on animal foods, which tend to be high in sodium and low in potassium -- closer to the correct ratio. 4) Plant-based foods can be high in anti-nutrients; veggies like cabbage, dark greens and spinach contain anti-nutrients, therefore in order to break down the anti-nutrients, these foods should be cooked or lacto-fermented prior to consumption. 5) And finally, juicing is a lot of work for a very tired person.
Pam does not follow Dr Wilsons fat phobic diet. She is more of a Weston Price fan. It always made sense to me. I've seen people do well on the Paleo diet.
