The Real Danger of Smoothies and Juicing
Replies

The only real danger is that your tastebuds can't survive flavor of that magnitude!
They're delicious.
Do you even lift, Bro?
Yup, even getting my squat back up a little at a time. knee.dat is killin.0 -
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.
Don't forget pickles.
I wonder what happens if you eat all 3 at once?
Will you just implode? Tear the space-time continuum?0 -

I don't know, I'm pretty negative when I eat celery, but pretty pleasant when I eat waffles.0 -
its very healthy...just knock out the dairy...and use coconut milk or almond milk instead of milk/yogurt....my son also loves smoothies...now if i could only get him to drink a green smoothie!
What?
Nothing wrong with Dairy!
keep telling yourself that...you're headed to an early grave...better get some life insurance
educate yourself...watch this video...you will see what science and medical research shows about dairy...dont keep following the sheep

Did you actually just say the phrase fruit doesn't have sugar?
Wow.....
"Sugar" or table sugar in its most common sense is sucrose (a half and half combination of fructose and glucose).
Fruits themselves contain purely fructose, a form that has not been processed. Is it still sugar? In its most general sense, yes. So during the process of juicing of COURSE you arent intaking TABLE SUGAR, but are you still ingesting sugar, why yes.0 -
Based on this: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...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30gEiweaAVQ
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 inclination0 -

Celery and waffles have negative calories.
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.0 -

Because bananas and cats obviously go together.0

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.0 -
Wait wait wait...so there's no sugar in fruit and no fat in avocados....because God??? Did I read that correctly?
Pretty sure science disagrees with you...
