Re: 4 Ways Juice Plus is Scamming Americans

I have taken lots of multivits in my life and none of them gave me the energy and immunity boost like JP+. My physician recommended JP+ 14 years ago when I told him I was low on energy. I am now 56 and have never felt better in my life. I never get sick anymore, nor do my kids who are also taking it daily. People like JP+ because it works. Put a multivit in a glass of water for an hour and a JP+ capsule in a glass of water for an hour and you will see the difference. Also one is pure fruits and veggies and the other is synthetic. MultiVits do not have enzymes and probiotics.

false dilemma. The ave. apple in the supermarket is over 1 yr. old. It holds most of its antioxidant value for 3 months. Juice Plus+ has helped thousands who feel better. You aren't helping anyone, just insulting them.

It depends. If you live on the countryside it can be cheap, but if you are in an urban area, it can be expensive, since there's a delivery of the products and they.

"That's evil, that's good" is a primitive way to think. Can't wait for re-enlightenment:: approaching nutrition with moral (emotional) argument and logic is boring.

Re: 4 Reasons Chobani’s 100-Calorie Yogurts Are a Bad Choice

Mitch — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 16:37:35 -0000

Before you go after chobani for their 100 calorie look at other yogurt brands that put artificial sweeteners in their lower calorie yogurts like aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium. at least they sweeten theirs with stevia and monk fruit extract.

Re: Should Food Stamp (SNAP) Purchases Be Limited to Healthy Food?

midnitglory — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 12:10:49 -0000

Having to use food stamps was a shame in the past, and that stopped many people from continuing to board the blissful free wagon for consecutive years. If WIC recipients are "shamed" then why don't we let the mothers and mothers to be also purchase whatever it is they feel they need for themselves and their babies.

"SNAP already limits what people can buy: No non-food items. No alcohol.
No tobacco. No supplements. No pet food. No food to be eaten in store"
Seriously? Is that even a legitimate argument. All those things are either luxuries or bad habits that even the middle working class have to weight their budgets in their minds before throwing that hot and ready deli chicken into the cart.
"Howie g" hit it straight on: why encourage healthy eating habits, when unhealthy citizens make up the largest asset to the pharmaceutical industry.

Want a quick way to being as healthy as you can be.....eat good food and exercise. It's easy and a lot less expensive than Juice Plus.

The company trains them to make the claims. The videos are all over youtube; however, they avoid litigation by keeping their website relatively honest. They have been forced to change their formula repeatedly due to scientific analysis proving that the product does not contain what they claim it dies.

I know the product isn't good. I read the ingredients and the nutrition label. It is very expensive for an inferior quality multivitamin. Really only a decent source of vitamin C. What nutrients it has are due to the supplements added to it ie: folic acid, citric acid etc

Craig — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 22:33:58 -0000

Claiming any cure is wrong, but understand it isn't the company making the claims, it would be the virtual franchise owners. And if they're making these claims they need their business revoked from them. Knowing that does not mean the product isn't a good product and is good for you. Testimonials are just that, and there is no such thing as a cure-all...even in medicine.

Let's see some actual proof of JPs value....based on the CURRENT formulation....something that stands up under unbiased scientific scrutiny....not placebo ...not flawed scientific method, not testamony from paid hamsters on the wheel.

Re: 4 Ways Juice Plus is Scamming Americans

fyi_im_me — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 19:14:34 -0000

Unbiased science..that would be found in the reviews of the Juice Plus studies....also found in the scientific analysis of the capsules, and the simplest way....read the ingredients and the nutrition label....really easy....all of which have been posted repeatedly in the comments. It is crap.

Re: 4 Ways Juice Plus is Scamming Americans

fyi_im_me — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 19:12:15 -0000

Read the comments from the reps....that is the ones they haven't deleted. They have claimed it cures Krohns, depression, cancer, diabetes etc. It is proven scientifically that it's crap so they lie to sell it. It is a scam....not good honest capitalism

Re: Should I Drink Bai5 Beverages?

Sandy — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 01:11:34 -0000

I had one today and honestly it was so delicious but it was afterwards when things got a little funky. My breath smelled so bad even after brushing my teeth twice! I also felt like puking. And then I got so bloated that my jeans didn't fit. Never drinking this again no matter how delicious it may taste....

Craig Garvaglia — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 12:04:57 -0000

This article is crap. I'm not a Juice Plus person, but looking at the validity of it. Let's take a look at the four points. One, yes they fund the research...who else will? Sounds like someone thinks money for this falls out of the sky. Two, if you look at healthy living, the guilt should be obvious. Not enough people eat healthy. But on that fact, some care and some don't. If you care, then you look at ways to improve your health. This isn't guilt, this is trying to find a way. Three, are there claims that if you take this product you will avoid disease? Haven't found any yet and my guess if they did, they would be brought to court in a heart beat. But again, there's no substitute to doing things to help yourself become healthier. And four, sounds like you are against capitalism. MLM's are nothing more than a business, they are NOT guarantees. I find it amusing the ones that complain the most are the ones that feel a business WORKS without WORK. A business only succeeds with persistence, persistence, and persistence. People, business is NOT a lottery.

This article is obviously someone's OPINION, which is sad. What I was looking for was unbiased SCIENCE to give me information regarding the validity of JuicePlus. So disappointed.

Well after a bowl of Raisin Bran you get 100 more carbs for the day and still get about 10 more grams of sugar for the day so it's all good. Eat up!

Juice Plus does NOTHING for your DNA, NOTHING to help fight against cancer, NOTHING to cure anything. It is NOT natural and it NO better than a cheap multivitamin.

Maybe don't go with garden of life...

I've found shaekology to be an amazing SUPPLEMENT to my diet. The price is a bit high but there is no other product like it. Can I be healthy without it? Obviously. But taking it greatly simplifies the process of putting needed nutrition in to my body daily.

Re: Comparing 4 Hot Dogs – Which is the Healthiest?

solocoyote — Sat, 30 Jul 2016 20:43:54 -0000

For many of us, nitrates and nitrites cause migraines. Oscar Meyer adds cultured celery juice, and celery has a very high concentration of natural nitrate, and treating celery juice with a bacterial culture produces nitrite. If you get headaches or migraines from eating MSG, there is a good chance that nitrates and nitrites trigger your headaches and/or migraines too....
