Re: Just Say No To Orange Juice Fasting + EDIT


Just so that everybody knows why I posted the link I did.  Uny asked me to do a search and post the link to all the links that came up in the search so that we could all see how harmful an OJ fast is.  I went back to work full-time recently and am trying to get adjusted to keeping up with all the responsibilities as a wife and forum moderator and not being home all day that I just didn't have the time to read through hundreds if not thousands of links to find just the right one to post.  I realize the one l posted leans towards allopathic but hey, we wanted to make a point that OJ fasting is bad for the body for a plethora of reasons.  

"It seems to me that this orange juice study would have been looking at processed, dead orange juice rather than the fresh- squeezed that someone doing a juice fast would be using. I think that that kind of juice is definitely not beneficial to the body."

I agree that this study might have looked at processed OJ but the fact is that fresh squeezed OJ when consumed in abundant amounts without anything else on a daily basis as when doing an orange juice fast would be equally as harmful as the processed OJ to the enamel on the teeth.

"I think that reading something like that might scare some people away from what is a healthy juice but not one that you would want to use to excess. As part of a healthy array of fruits and veggies, citrus has its place."

I agree that citrus has it's place as part of a healthy array of fruits and veggies when doing a juice fast. In fact I love grapefruit juice and when I'm doing a juice fast I drink a pint of it everyday but that is not the only thing I drink, I include lots of other fresh squeezed fruits and veggies.

The problem is that there is a forum here on CZ that is promoting an orange juice fast with no other fruits or veggies at all.  Strictly an orange juice fast.  That forum is touting an OJ fast as a be all end all cure for all things and that is just plain crazy and very dangerous.

The OPs question was about an OJ fast that he/she had learned about on the forum that is promoting it.  Uny and I both wanted him/her to be very clear that we do not promote an OJ only juice fast because it is very harmful to the body.  

I didn't perceive the article as scaring people but then we all see things differently. ;)  I saw it as a warning not to consume too many acidic things.  

Juice fasting rocks on many different levels when we have a balance of difference fruits and veggies but we should just say no to orange juice fasting.

Blessings,

Willow
