WASHINGTON -- For those trying to up their fruit and vegetable intake, juice might not be a good solution: It's now associated with rectal cancer.

I heard Scotch does more to deter cancer than anything else.

Don’t forget eggs.

So who commissioned the outcome of this study?

[paul51]

[DTogo]

All these half-baked studies can drive you insane

Half-squeezed in this case.

Including moderation. Actually, I prefer...

“Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.”

Aren’t most of us grandfathered in? When I was born the sun was good for you, a dirty kid was a healthy kid, and 3 out of 4 doctors recommended Lucky Strikes.

What about fresh Juices ran through a juicer ? the natural sugar has to be better for you than the packaged stuff plus you get pulp which is fiber it’s gotta be better for ya !

Yep, those were the days. Just hit 60, and reading these articles I wonder how I lasted this far.

[SuzyQue]

Ah ha! I knew fruit and vegetables were bad for you!

[diamond6]

Isn’t that the truth!

A glass of orange juice or apple juice, etc., represent several orange and apples - many more than you would eat in one sitting - and more fruit sugar - and WITHOUT the natural fiber in the whole fruit. Just maybe Ma Nature knows what she's doing?

Fiber is essential to ‘regulation.’

Same old rule of thumb: “All things in moderation.”

(Also, most today do not adhere to the ‘juice glass’, which, at least, keeps the amount at a more natural volume.)

[SandRat]

No report that they even considered that.

[NautiNurse]

If still concerned just cut up some aloe leaf gel fresh from a leaf (I get it in the produce dept. $2/leaf , about 18")

LOL--I'll sell it to you for $1.25. It grows wild like a weed in my yard.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Well in the body it’s straight sugar. So now you are also looking at increased insulin. Not a good thing. That sugar crash is so unhealthy.

Let’s face it. How many oranges does it take to make an 8 ounce glass of juice?

Answer: 3 or 4. How many to make a 64oz carton of juice? 18

You get more flavor and the vitamins and fiber if you eat the fruit. It’s hard to eat 3 or 4 oranges. You get full.
