"Fruits: The fruit group includes all kinds of whole fruits, including canned and fruit juices. That means 100 percent fruit juices only; fruit-flavored drinks are not fruit juice. 9. Vegetables: The veggie group encompasses all kinds of fresh or frozen vegetables. If you regularly eat canned vegetables, including canned tomatoes, you must answer "yes" to the following question regarding salt because of the salt they contain. Check a box on the following worksheet for every serving you consumed in the past twenty-four hours.

"Impact score by DesMaisons Fruits and fruit juices are also high in sugars. Most people assume that the sugars found in fruit are very healthy because they are natural. It is true that fruits contain vitamins not found in products like Coca-Cola. However, your sugar-sensitive body registers the sugar in fruit and responds to it as powerfully as to the sugar in chocolate chips. Fruit juice in particular is a sugar with a high impact because it has very little fiber to slow it down. Let's take a look at the sugar content of some fruit juices on the next page." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"Strictly limit fruit juices. If they are consumed, make sure they are highly diluted with water. A good rule for the anti-hypoglycemia diet is: Don't drink your calories. 9. Eat frequent, high-protein meals and snacks, to help stabilize blood sugar levels. Your kids can feel better fast on this diet. They might not like it at first, especially when their sweets are restricted, but as they begin to feel better, they'll become more cooperative, and better motivated." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Let's take a look at the sugar content of some fruit juices on the next page. Although drinking orange juice instead of cola is more nutritious, the sugar content is almost exactly the same. Also, notice how much more sugar grape juice contains. This is why concentrated grape juice is so often used as a sweetener in "natural" foods. People think that grape juice is healthier than refined white sugar. But your response to a certain food is determined by the intensity of the sugar hit. Compare the impact values of these to those in the chart for overt sugars." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"Avoid the following for 21 days: i. fruit juices contribute to yeast overgrowth and acidity because they have no fibre or solids in the liquid. They are empty calories. ii. Wheat, rye, spelt and barley contain gluten that can cause problems with digestion, the nervous system and energy. iii. Yeast, mould and fungi feed bad bacteria in the gut and are found in baked goods, wine, beer, whiskey, cheese, mushrooms. iv. Refined products such as sugar and white flour contribute to poor bowel function, blood sugar instability and feed microbes in the body (parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungus). v." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"For children I think it is imperative to get organic fruits and fruit juices even if you can't do anything more than this. From the figures I've seen, fruit and fruit juice tend to be more highly contaminated with pesticide residues than other classes of foods. Children eat more fruit and drink by far more fruit juice than adults. From this source alone, they could very easily ingest toxic levels of pesticide residues." The third aspect of treatment is nutritional supplementation. "For practically all children, we recommend a high-quality hypoallergenic multiple vitamin," Dr. Buttram says. " - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Pita and multigrain breads Olive oil Natural, unsweetened fruit juices Better Organic produce Tofu, fresh fish, or beans Gluten-free pastas Brown, long-grain, and wild rice Fresh fruits A Thirty-Day ADD/ADHD Cure Meal Plan The following thirty-day meal plan fits all the requirements outlined in this chapter. Remember: it's not the end of the world if there is anything on the daily menus you and your kids won't like or that you don't want to or can't prepare. As long as you keep to the guidelines of the diet, you can feel free to improvise and add dishes to each meal or to replace them." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"It is also best to avoid drinking pure fruit juices. Fruit—and juice, especially—carries a high sugar content, and consuming too much of it rapidly raises the blood sugar. The body compensates to the sugar high with a surge of insulin from the pancreas—and the insulin, in turn, stimulates the liver to manufacture more cholesterol.1 It may also elevate triglyceride levels. Be careful of sugar-laden desserts, which can have the same effect. 5. Beverages. Water, seltzer water (try adding a small amount of fruit juice to boost flavor), milk, oat milk, no-fat soy milk, coffee, and tea." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Fruit Group includes all fresh, frozen, canned, and dried fruits and fruit juices. In general, 1 cup of fruit or 100% fruit juice, or 1/2 cup of dried fruit can be considered as 1 cup from the fruit group. 3 Vegetable Group includes all fresh, frozen, canned, and dried vegetables and vegetable juices. In general, 1 cup of raw or cooked vegetables or vegetable juice, or 2 cups of raw leafy greens can be considered as 1 cup from the vegetable group." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, showed that cranberry juice cocktail had the highest total phenol content of twenty fruit juices tested. (Phenolic compounds are natural antioxidants. They help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body that are linked to most chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.) Zuo and his team stated that "cranberry has the highest radical-scavenging capacity among the different fruits studied." Even more wonderful, Catherine Neto, Ph.D." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"I've warned about the high-sugar fruit juices that I consider to be a scourge on society so many times in the past—how can I be recommending juices made of fruit? Well, it's like this: Commercial fruit juices are largely flavored sugar water. Homemade, freshly squeezed juices are vitamin powerhouses. Yes, they contain some natural sugar, but you can also modify that by intelligent mixing of low-sugar vegetables (which should constitute the bulk of the ingredients) and some carefully chosen fruits for flavor and additional nutrients." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"I drink only water, coffee, and tea, but if that's too hard for you, diluted lemon juice and/or vegetable juices (but not fruit juices) work as well. Fasting also refers to simply eating a whole lot less than you normally would. þSkip a meal, starting with one day a week, and then work up to every other day. The more often you do it, the more of a hormesis response you activate. þOccasionally, skip breakfast and lunch and eat all of your calories at dinner or eat only one meal a day." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.) "Canned vegetable or fruit juices. These provide a serving of fruits or vegetables—along with mucho servings of sugar. 6. Any food that contains sugar using one of its aliases—cane sugar, natural sugar, date sugar, organic sugar, or various syrups. There is no such thing as "safe" sugar. þ. Skim milk and soy milk lattes or Frappuccinos. These have more sugar than the "high-test" versions. 8. Foods such as cereals, breads, and crackers heralding "whole-grain goodness." These might as well be sugar. 9. Foods labeled low-fat, fat-free, no sugar, or no cholesterol." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"Pure, unadulterated water is the best way of getting this fluid, although fruit juices and milk—in limited quantities—are almost as good. Be careful, though, as many mains water supplies are contaminated and contain inorganic substances such as lead, cadmium and chemical additives that impair our immune system. Invest in a water filter system—there are many inexpensive ones now available—and taste the difference. Try to drink at least half the recommended 6-7 glasses of liquid daily as pure water. Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "It is added to drinks including alcohol and fruit juices, toppings, salad dressings, essences, jams, dried fruits and vegetables, sausages, 'fresh' prawns and fruit yoghurt. It has been shown to have strong links to childhood asthma, especially where the child also has a folic acid deficiency. A recent study in a Sydney hospital revealed that up to 65 per cent of asthmatics they treated were so sensitive to sodium metabisulphite that it provoked an asthma attack shortly after they ate it." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "So nearly two out of every three asthmatics could trigger an attack by eating common foods like tinned soup, pickles, sausages, snack foods, dried fruit, dehydrated potatoes, commercial fruit juices and the like. TARTR AZ1NE Most children (and many adults) like to eat and drink foods containing the common additive tartrazine. It turns up everywhere—in syrups, toppings, sauces, soft drinks, cordials, frozen sweets, confectionery, packet snacks, jellies, biscuits, puddings and is also used to colour medicines yellow, green or orange!" - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.) "Although best taken on their own, various fruit juices can be combined, for example orange and pineapple, apple and prune juices. Take care with watermelon and mango—some people are allergic to them. Supermarket shelves overflow with a mouthwatering assortment of juices but very few of them can be considered fresh and contain too many additives or preservatives to be of much nutritional value. Read the labels carefully." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Starting with diluted fruit juices and vegetable broth soups does this best. Thereafter, small amounts of solid foods can be reintroduced, starting with the more easily digested ones. Protein foods, especially meats, should be reintroduced last and in small quantities, until the system has adapted and feels normal again. During this transition phase, the addition of digestive enzyme supplements with meals can be helpful. The longer the length of fast, the more gradually one should end it." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Keep in mind that fruit juices are loaded with the simple sugar fructose, and that without the fiber from the whole fruit, they quickly raise the level of sugar in the bloodstream. Why should we consider adding fresh juices to our diet? There are several reasons. Due to our typical diets, virtually everyone has a digestive system that is stressed and underfunctioning, an intestinal tract with a diminished store of flora, congested underfunctioning organs of assimilation, and an overload of toxins entering the system on a regular basis." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Commercially frozen and pasteurized fruit juices. Tap water that has not been run for some time to flush out copper and plastic residues which have been absorbed while standing in pipes. Fluoridated, chlorinated or otherwise contaminated water. Soda water and carbonated beverages." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "You can also substitute fruit juices for water, and add raisins, pineapple bits, nuts, et cetera. VEGETABLE CHOP SUEY i cup carrots, chopped 1 cup celery, chopped Vi cup green pepper, chopped V4—Vi cup red sweet pepper, chopped Vi cup onion, chopped (optional) 1 cup broccoli pieces Vi lb." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Avoid simple sugars exposed to high temperatures, especially commercially pasteurized fruit juices and soda/soft drinks that contain high-fructose corn syrup. These foods contain high levels of dietary glycotoxins. Chapter 6 An Antiglycation Eating Plan In this chapter, we bring together the information and guidelines presented in chapter 5 and show you how easy it can be to follow an antiglycation eating plan. We realize that some of the foods and cooking methods may differ from what you are used to, so we recommend that you make changes gradually." - Steven V.

"This same study showed that fruit-based beverages, including wine and fruit juices, either reduced or had no adverse effect on the frequency of gout attacks. In contrast, beverages derived from grain with little or no potassium or magnesium, such as beer and whiskey, increased the frequency of gout attacks significantly." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"She then discovered Natural Hygiene via Seventh Day Adventist books and used live fruit juices, vegetable juices and wheatgrass, along with other supportive lifestyle practices. The tumor disappeared in eight months. She regained full health after another ten months. Dr. Day now promotes a living foods diet. She has made over a dozen videos, including Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore and Drugs Never Cure Disease. She remarks that the medical industry keeps looking for answers in the wrong places because they are stuck in the wrong paradigm." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "People new to the raw diet might assume that bottled fruit juices are raw when they are almost invariably pasteurized. Due to regulations that reflect a phobia of E. coli bacteria and potential lawsuits, it is now nearly impossible to find raw juice. It has usually been at least flash-pasteurized. The surest ways to get truly raw juice are to have the store make it right in front of you or to make it yourself. Even then at many of the juice bars, you have to make sure they are not adding "extras" to your fresh-squeezed juices. For example, some add yogurt to smoothies." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "From 3-6 months old, introduce fresh fruit juices, such as fresh-squeezed orange juice or watermelon juice, the two mildest juices that cause the least amount of digestive disturbance. Juices should not be served with milk feedings. At this point, you will need to start scheduling feedings more regularly. As the infant wakes in the morning, he will tend to have the most energy and be most active. Give first a fruit juice. Then wait approximately an hour and a half before the next feeding, which should be nursed milk. After the larger milk feeding, the baby will probably doze off for a nap." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Replacing some of the vinegar or acid with fruit juices also provides interest and preparing it ahead of time will enhance flavor. Additional vinaigrette can be refrigeratedfor several days, providing convenience. Versatile "vinaigrettes" can be used as salad dressing, marinades for salmon, turkey or vegetables, and as a condiment that you can drizzle over your protein or vegetables." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Phytochemicals that Lower Cholesterol The healing phytochemicals in fruits and fruit juices are also very important. For people with high blood sugar, there are now concentrates on the market without the fruit sugar in them, so everyone can get the benefits of drinking a lot of fruit juice. Remember that red fruits and their concentrates repair damage to your DNA. This is crucial because once you repair the damage to the DNA, the cell can regain much, if not all, of its previous functioning." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"I compensated for these cravings by drinking large amounts of bottled fruit juices. They were not freshly squeezed, but they said "all natural" on the bottles, and I got them at a health food store. What was wrong with pasteurized fruit juices? I also drank 100 percent concentrated juice in the mornings, since the advertising and the health books told me that it was perfectly fine. As I dug into extra helpings of dried fruits, date sugar, bananas, and raisins to further satisfy my sugar cravings, I thought I was Nature Boy." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Replace them with fruit and caffeine-free herbal teas, carob bars and drinks, and freshly extracted fruit juices or 100 percent pure fruit juices that you can dilute. It is vital that you eat plenty of red (such as beets, tomatoes, or strawberries), green (barley grass or wheat grass juice, spinach, herbs such as rocket and basil), and orange fruit and vegetables daily as these provide essential antioxidants that prevent your skin from becoming over-exposed to pollutants in the air. Barley grass is the most nutritious of these foods and does not contain oxalic acid like spinach does." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)
