V8, Naked – other fruit/veggie drinks: Are they a good fruit/veggie substitute?
Juicing whether you get V8 or make your own juices (highly recommended) is that you strip the fibers from the fruit/veggie, or most the the fiber depending on how good your juicer is. Unless you are juice fasting, which is perfectly reasonable seeing you can live of juice for a long while without fiber. I would say it isn’t since you need the fiber to help keep your digestive track moving along. But other than that of you do alot of research into juicing you’ll find that you are getting tons of benefits!
It all depends on the brand. I would stay away from highly commercialized juices like Ocean Spray, V8, and so on. Those lack nutrition, have TONS of sugar/high fructose corn syrup and also have preservatives that are not good for you. I would go to a health food store and find organic juice or if you can afford it, try a juice bar where they make the juices fresh for you. Bolthouse Farms have pretty good juices without adding a bunch of extra garbage…just look at it this way – the more expensive the juice, the better it is for you.
