Juice is a low fiber sugar – it rapidly penetrates the blood stream causing an almost immediate rise in blood glucose and an insulin spike resulting in a rapid energy response and then within a number of minutes a loss of energy – lethargy and the risk of additional sugar cravings. Fresh squeezed juices do have macro and micro nutrient benefits — some are high in anti-oxidants – some high in vitamin c … some have immune system benefits – juices are best consumed as a fresh squeezed or cold pressed product. Juices from concentrates have a low nutritional value and can be extremely caloric. Cold pressed juices should be consumed within 48 hours of manufacturing. The cold pressed juices certainly are loaded with live food enzymes and provide anti-oxidant benefits … if juices are not cold pressed or fresh squeezed and come from concentrate then they provide a sugar source that will activate rapid insulin response … like any simple sugar would … the result is the possibility of low blood sugar a drop in energy and craving stimulation for more sugar … like with all nutrients too much of anything could be a bad thing … when small amounts could possibly be a benefit.
