I wish a company DID pay me for this...

Fruit doesnt have any sugar in it...sugar is something that can only exist if you refine something...a banana doesnt have sugar it has a holistic nature to it...if you refine the banana you can get sugar from it...but when its a BANANA it doesnt behave like refined sugar because its a banana...they are totally unrelated...

the food industry has trained people to think about 1 nutrient in an item...cant have fruit its got too much sugar...cant have avacado its got too much fat...really? God put these fruits and vegetables on the planet to eat and give us a healthy life...so eat them and be healthy!

And then this:

What?

Nothing wrong with Dairy!

keep telling yourself that...you're headed to an early grave...better get some life insurance

I really hope you're being sarcastic because fruit does have sugar, avocados do have fat and there isn't anything wrong with dairy. I drink milk, eat yogurt, fruit and avocados. Ain't nothing wrong with me nor will I be "heading for an early grave"

or so you think....

this will show you medical and scientific research that backs up my anti dairy claims...but you probably wont want to educate yourself...

A youtube video of someones opinion proves to me nothing.

Living life sir you are doing it wrong.

Take your utter nonsense elsewhere.

you obviously are going to continue to be an uneducated fool...who struggles with losing weight...just trying to help you out...but i guess you want your kids to grow up without a dad...

Dairy is good for me, because God* made the people who did dairy farming/herding over the last 10,000 years evolve the ability to digest lactose as adults, and I'm descended from a dairy farming population. Looking at your avatar, I'd say you are too.

*or natural selection, or both, depending on your inclination

Sorry, but that's nonsense. There's millions upon millions of worse things you can eat than fresh fruit and veg; in any form. Do they sate your appetite less than eating them whole? Yes. Should you be conscious of how many calories any smoothies/juices you make contain? Yes. Just like anything else you ingest.

Again, green juices do not contain calories. The nonsense is yours.

Not meaning any offense. Since when did juices of any kind not have any calories? If you throw in 10 stalks of celery, there goes 10 calories. A pound of spinach? another 30. A bunch of carrots? another 40. so about it being nonsense...... There is no such thing as no calories, they might be so small that they are negligible, but the calories are still there. Please back up your "research or knowledge" before you tackle someone else's.

Celery and waffles have negative calories.

I don't know, I'm pretty negative when I eat celery, but pretty pleasant when I eat waffles.

See? They cancel each other out!

haha really? this study is BS...the sugars that you get from blending or juicing are NOT the same and do not have the same effect on your body as processed sugar in cookies, sweets etc. ive been juicing and blending for 5 years...Ive lost 100 lbs, Im more fit and active than I have ever been and my blood tests are excellent....

Aha!

I think I found the point at which this thread started heading off the rails...which would be at banana sugar that isn't really sugar because banana.

I just wanted a place to park these:

Yup, if you eat celery in its original form. (lol waffles) All that chewing and digesting. The thermic effect of food is usually 10 percent, but celery is so low calorie so you burn more. Same thing with drinking iced water. Its the process of making use of watever you just ingested that gives it the so called "negative" calories.

But in juices.....what just happened to all that chewing. All you're doing is consuming the nutrients from that celery plus liquid.

I'm pretty sure celery contains more calories than it takes to digest...

...but not motivated enough to actually confirm this belief, so I could be wrong.

Really doesn't matter to me because celery is as much a food as cardboard is.

It's basically just an edible spoon for peanut butter/cream cheese.

Dairy DOES kill. 22 people die each year by being trampled on, or kicked by, a cow.

The next time my husband starts going off about something stupid, I'm going to drink a whole GALLON of milk.

NO! You'll d.. Okay. I can't finish that sentence with a straight face. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh. I see. I thought HE would, because then the children would grow up FATHERless. It's whichever parent consumes the dairy hunh?

Hmm. I actually create dairy as well. Would these two acts cancel each other out, so the negative dairy effect is only for fathers?

Isn't the point of juicing to get nutrients directly to the blood stream? I do have one green juice in the morning with my protein. It's mostly veggies, but I do add one apple. I think this comes down to common sense. Fruit equals sugar, obviously juicing fruits will increase someone's blood sugar.

The point of juicing is to avoid solid foods, which contain calories. Juice does not really contain calories, unless it is a color other than green.

This is the first time I ever heard this theory. All the material I've seen re: juicing is for the express purpose of absorbing the nutrients more efficiently into your system. Juice does not contain calories? ?????!????

Or am I not realizing you are being sarcastic?

If someone is Atheist, will an avocado have fat, fruit have sugar and juice have calories?

Rogue_Girl

This. Our bodies actually convert fructose to glucose. Carbs too. Everything that is a "sugar," regardless of the type of sugar it is, gets converted into glucose.

Finally! Something that makes sense!

Although the cat gif on page 4 did make me giggle.

I am SO CONFUSED!

Sugar is not sugar if it comes out of a banana, but it is sugar if it comes out of a strawberry, but once you chew it it turns into rainbows whether or not it started as a sugarless banana or a sugarful strawberry. Dairy kills us all, especially Mayo, because that's the whitest of dairy products and should be avoided along with Avocados which contain no fat and are thusly sabotaging us and leading to cankles.

Am I getting this straight?? Am I right?

Yup. I think that about covers it.
