A few words of advice on storing your juice. If you use a centrifugal juicer, you can't really store the juice, you must drink it straight away. This is because the juice is very aerated by the process and oxidizes straight away. A slight negative for the centrifugal machine but that's the way it is! Your body needs the anti oxidant quality of juice for health, oxygen going into the juice at the manufacturing stage weakens the juice's protective power! In short it oxidizes the anti-oxidants!

and other juices are for us. We have been blasted by these
commercials for years and most of us strongly believe this to be

eight ounce glass. This is not added sugar but the natural
fructose. What may not be natural is squeezing juices. Fruits
are meant to be eating whole in their natural state.
Fruit juices have many healthy ...

the fruit. Eventually, the fruit becomes so heavy that it falls
to the ground.
The fruit is harvested by gathering the fruit off the ground,
throwing it onto large screens, and letting the juice drain
through the screens into large tubs. This way, ...

Evidence suggesting that alcohol is "cardio-protective" first
appeared in the literature about 30 years ago. The Framingham
Heart Study [the longest running population study of heart
disease which began in 1948] provided the first solid evidence
of this association. The relationship has now been confirmed by
dozens of large population ["epidemiological"] studies. However,
physicians have been reluctant to recommend alcohol consumption
to patients because of the well-known health consequences ...
