Moonbear said:Personally, I prefer pure, fresh juice. It just tastes better. You can find orange juice like that, but for most other juices, you're right, really hard to find. I have a hard enough time finding any other juices that don't have sweeteners added (my favorite to laugh at are the 100% juice, but it's really 10% of whatever juice it's supposed to be and another 90% of apple juice for sweetness, or some such nonsense). So, mostly I just avoid juice entirely, because it is mostly sugar water, and stick with eating whole fruit whenever possible.
Juice/fruit has a lot of natural sugar in it, that's why it taste sweet.

This one is not freakishly expensive. I actually got ours for less than $60. It was factory refurbished and looked like it was brand new. My wife and I have juiced all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and berries with it, and it spins up so fast that the pulp comes out impressively dry. If you decide to look for one, you may want to tweak your Google terms a bit, since this juicer is actually made by Waring. It is very heavy, built like a tank, and all the metal parts that contact food are stainless steel.JasonRox said:No thanks!

Juice is a liquid that is extracted from fruits or vegetables. It can also refer to any liquid that is naturally contained in a food, such as the juice in meat or the juice in a coconut.
Drinking juice can provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to your diet. It can also help with hydration, digestion, and can boost your immune system.
While juice can provide some of the same benefits as whole fruits and vegetables, it is generally recommended to eat whole fruits and vegetables as they contain more fiber and less sugar than juice. Juice can be a good addition to a balanced diet, but should not be relied upon as the sole source of fruits and vegetables.
Some juices may contain added sugars, which can contribute to weight gain and other health issues. It is important to read labels and choose juices that are 100% fruit or vegetable juice with no added sugars. Additionally, drinking too much juice can lead to an increase in calorie intake and may contribute to tooth decay.
The shelf life of juice can vary depending on the type of juice and how it is stored. Freshly squeezed juice typically lasts 2-3 days in the refrigerator, while store-bought juice can last up to 2 weeks. It is important to check the expiration date and consume juice before it goes bad.
