Date: July 02, 2009 06:48PM I notice alot of places recommend limiting the amounts of green juice and/or cabbage juices in the daily juice in-take. Why is this?
Thanks in advance. ***************************** "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." —Thomas Jefferson Re: Why do they recommend limit to daily in-take of Green Juices ??

Date: July 02, 2009 10:07PM If I recall correctly...I believe it is because greens are such powerful diuretics, parsley especially. They flush toxins quickly, so that much of a flush in the bloodstream can be hard on the body - I know, because when I first switched to vegan/juicing years ago, I did it cold turkey, & also did a lot of the green juices, not knowing the effects back then.
I felt very out of sorts for many months as I plodded along, trying to get well, not knowing all along that I was so toxic. BTW, greens will give you plenty of energy as well. After you are acclimated to this type of eating for awhile, you could increase the amount of green juice. I will not drink a full glass of greens, but I will go up to 1/2 or maybe more, making the rest carrot, apple, etc. Re: Why do they recommend limit to daily in-take of Green Juices ??

what do YOU feel and how do YOU react when you take in green juices and what conditions do YOU have that might react with certain chemicals in the greens do u have any thyroid issues? or any other conditions? "they" is too blanket of a statement and if so many people say that, it is strange why information would not also explain their advice maybe go back and dig out those articles again and see if you can find their reasoning yes, there are reasons but it depends on who u are as to whether or not it applies to you Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
