Re: Acai juice

trader, you are correct, it's ORAC levels are the highest of these other juices.

Sugar is sugar, no matter if it is added or natural. The body cannot differentiate between them..so do "burn" slower than others,but the bottom line it's still all sugar.

Here's an exmple I use with the people we work with.

Take a carton of OJ. Look at the carb content,, not sugar, but the carbs.

Let's say for this instance it has 36 grams of carbs per 8 oz serving.

Divide that 36 by 4. We use 4 becasue that is how many grams are in a level tsp

So we come to 9

So everytime we drink an 8oz serving of this OJ were are taking in 9 tsps of sugar.

And who really drinks just 8 oz?? They probrably drink double that amount.

I say this because while you may do well on juice of any kind, 70% of the population has problems with blood Sugar metabolism. So drinkin ANY juice is a bad idea for these people.

If people cannot give up the juice, I think they should really dilute it, 1/3 juice, the rest all water. Tweet
