Processed vs. Natural Juices
This is a quick look at the differences between processed
(canned or bottled) juices and fresh, natural juices that is made with your juice machine.
Processed Juices
- Bottle juice is pasteurized and the nutrients are depleted.
- Juices made from imported produce may carry traces of banned
pesticides.
- Juices from fruit concentrates do not contain the whole fruits and
they may be nothing more than sugar water -- possibly made with chemicals in water from
industrial sites.
- Acids from juices can leech metal from cans, causing canned juice to
spoil.
- Wax and other chemicals found in juice containers can taint the
juice.
- Shrink-wrapped juice cartons come under high heat that depletes
enzymes in juice.

amino acids and chlorophyll (with no toxic additives) found in raw vegetables - thereby
helping the body by:
