    And your research lead you to beleive that you could de tox your system by a juice fast?, hence the lol

    I really have no interest any longer in feeding the troll. I have had a lot of great feedback here and in my mailbox. People can agree or disagree. That is, of course, of their own regard.

    I don't have to prove anything to you. I have done months of research on my own. That is something everyone should do before they involve themselves in any drastic, albeit even 8 days, change in diet.

    This is like having a conversation with someone about religion or greenhouse gases. And I refuse to do that.

    Enjoy your day.

    You should try to ignore this poster. He is always doing similar posts on issues related to eating unprocessed foods, juicing, etc.
    I agree with you that you don't have anything to prove to anyone. If someone doesn't agree, state that and move on, don't keep on posting on a thread that you disagree with so much.
    I am sure you will see a couple other posters coming and making the "LOL" comments. You should ignore them too as all they like to do is tell you how are wrong and they are not.
    Yes...just bury your head in the sand and don't listen to opposing views. :huh:

    When did you present an opposing view? Seems to me like you were just trying to attack and make fun of someone you didn't agree with. You never put forth any information of your own. TROLL.

    Oh, cute, let's resort to petty name calling. That is quite mature and I'm sure your mother would be proud.

    The point is...processed foods is a highly subjective term....most food items can be considered processed by the definition of the word. Trying to cut out entire food groups is also quite silly.

    Too bad you only participated to add your troll accusation. Looks like you're the troll, champ.

    Just be careful... I juice and when at home eat a minimally processed diet (travel a lot) but one thing I've noticed about the ladies in my organic veggie co-op is that they're all rather spacey and frail. I don't get the sense they can handle the type of work and travel I do, and I'm not sure if it's the strict vegan diets or what but you get the sense they're all floating through this life.

    I will give it to them tha they're all much thinner than me. lol.

    Check out ChetDay.com for more on this.

    This is quality input here. Seriously. And many of the ogrgani-nazis are the same way ... thin but frail. No thanks. Not really for me.

    And what is cool whip made of? I have no clue. But it is awesome. And will continue to top my pie. Oh, and I will keep losing weight and getting healthier.

    Burden of proof is on the claim maker, if you want to claim you cleansed your body of toxins by juice fast or that processed foods are poisons, then simply be prepared should someone question the legitimacy of such claims

    Juice - none of the fiber, all the sugar!

    I don't believe all processed foods are bad. Sure whole natural foods are best, but there are healthy processed foods out there. You just have to get good at reading labels and not rely on them for your whole diet.

    Using a mechanical device to alter the food from its original state sounds like processing to me.
    Ding ding. Why not just eat the fruit or vegetable whole?

    I don't think you can drink water, then, either, actually.

    bottled water must be considered processed. it goes through treatment, has chemicals and minerals added, and is then packaged for mass distribution. for that matter, tap water has additives, too, post-treatment. so that's out. guess you could drink right out of the stream if you've got one close. course, then there's that whole giardia thing to worry about ...

    Preferably a stream under a rainbow!

    I'm curious OP, prior to the juice fast, how many servings of fruits or vegetable were you eating per day?
