 This
is a quick look at the differences between processed
(boxed, canned or bottled) juices and fresh, natural juice that is
made with your juice extractor.
- Processed Juices
- Boxed or bottled juice is pasteurised and
the nutrients are completely destroyed.
- Juices made from imported produce and juice concentrates may
carry traces of pesticides.
- Juices from fruit concentrates do not contain the whole fruits
and they may be nothing more than sugar water -- possibly made
with chemicals in water from industrial sites.
- Acids from juices can leech metal from cans, causing canned
juice to spoil.
- Wax and other chemicals found in boxed juice containers can
taint the juice.
- Shrink-wrapped juice cartons come under high heat that depletes
enzymes in juice.
