Juice cleanse

[bayerboy]

I was wondering if these are any good to do? I have some friends who swear by it and do it 4 times a year. What do you guys think ?

Waste of time. Juices don't 'cleanse'.

I've added this to my tips thread

keep in mind when you juice fruit you are removing the pulp and fiber. you also will process the food where the nutrition drops quickly. i think i read within 2 minutes of juicing a fruit the vitamins drop 50% or some crazy #

also the fruit juices you buy from the store are pasteurized so they are pointless

and as mobster said no such thing as a juice cleanse. if you want to really cleanse yourself out do a water fast

If you want to do a water fast - then I am all for it.

Juice cleanses are terrible for your health. You are drinking basically straight sugar. When you juice a fruit, you remove all the fiber and all that's left is the sugar.
