"There is absolutely no reason why you can't buy your own apple or grape juice (or any other juice for that matter) and mix your own if you like. You can usually find a large 64-ounce bottle of either apple or grape juice for less than two dollars. If you purchase the 100% undiluted juice you at least know exactly how much of the beneficial juice you are getting. I recently learned of a company that produces all three juices in a pure undiluted form, from a friend who owns a health food store." - Dr. David W.

"Most canned fruit juices, especially grape juice, also contain added fluoride. grape juice can contain as much as 6 ppm fluoride. Remember, the fluoride itself is highly reactive and will leach aluminum from the can as well. Soft drinks also present special hazards. While all soft drinks containing fluoride will leach aluminum from the can, diet sodas may be worse than regular sodas because the fluoride content, at least in one study, was higher in the diet drinks. Although most aluminum cans now have inner linings, the coating may be defective and can also be fractured during shipping." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Sources: whole grain products, broccoli, green beans, grape juice, and spices. Form in the body: trivalent chromium. Summary for Molybdenum Main function: metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. RDA: adults, 45 meg. Toxicity: low toxicity. Tolerable upper intake level has been set at 2 mg. Deficiency is rare. Sources: beans, lentils, whole grains, and nuts. Forms in the body: found in the enzymes sulfite oxidase, xanthine oxidase, and aldehyde oxidase." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.) "Good sources of chromium include whole grain products, broccoli, green beans, grape juice, and spices. Processed foods and foods high in sugar are poor sources of chromium. Foods high in sucrose and fructose increase chromium loss. Vitamin C in amounts of 100 mg or more increase the absorption of chromium. There is not enough information on chromium to establish RDAs. The adequate intake level (AI) has been set to reflect average intakes. Please refer to Table 13-5 for the adequate intake levels for chromium." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"The study found that both aspirin and red wine slow the activity of blood platelets by about 45 percent, while purple grape juice dampens them by 75 percent. It is not clear, however, whether the thinning of blood after drinking red wine is caused by flavonoids or by the diuretic effects of the alcohol contained in the wine. If purple grape juice is turned into wine, it loses some of its flavonoids. To have the benefits advocated for red wine and more, it is better to drink the fresh juice of purple grapes. Plant foods contain about 4,000 flavonoids." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Interestingly, the equivalent amount of grape juice, apple juice, green tea, or chocolate—all rich sources of proanthocyanidins or related compounds—did not produce the same result. "The cranberry's proanthocyanidins are structurally different than the proanthocyanidins found in the other plant foods tested, which may explain why cranberry has unique bacterial anti-adhesion activity and helps to maintain urinary tract health," Howell says. Best of all, new research seems to point to the use of cranberries for preventing urinary tract infections in the first place." - 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.)

"Eliminating refined sugar and simple sugars (corn syrup, honey, fructose, maple syrup, white grape juice concentrate, and others) will help to assure optimal immune function. Eliminating saturated fats such as red meat, butter, cheese, and ice cream, even in the short run, will enable the body to utilize essential fatty acids such as the fats from olive oil, canola oil, and ocean fish. These essential fatty acids are important in the promotion of the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins PgEl and PgE3; reducing inflammation is a primary goal in healing a sexually transmitted infection." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Any label that says sucrose, glucose, maltose, lactose, fructose, sugar, corn syrup, or white grape juice concentrate is a source of added dietary sugar. Salt. With all this talk of lowering cholesterol and improving the cholesterol ratios, it is easy to forget how important it is to balance the blood pressure and how foods may have a positive or a negative effect on this. For example, a diet low in potassium and high in sodium is associated with high blood pressure. By contrast, a diet high in potassium and low in sodium can protect against elevation of blood pressure." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"In severe cases, he says, eat nothing except undiluted, unsweetened grape juice, as much as desired, for three or four weeks (grapes may be eaten as well). In less severe cases, he recommends a meat and grape juice diet. White chicken meat, without the skin, and lean meats (especially steak or veal), are recommended. These should be baked, broiled or stewed. Any grape juice may be used, but Concord grapes are best, he says. Diabetics may not be able to use this method, and should check with their doctor first, he says. The grape juice seems to cleanse the blood of poisons." - Ben Davis, Rapid Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"Rich sources include grapes, grape juice and red wine. According to Dr. James Howenstine, author of A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work, 20 mg of resveratrol daily provides maximal health benefits. Red wine has 0.2 mg per glass. Since drinking 100 glasses of wine would prove toxic indeed, wine is definitely not the best source of this nutrient! Phytochemicals also include flavonoids, lycopene and quercetin. To get the full spectrum of phytochemicals, you should eat from each of the colors of fruits and vegetables: green, yellow, red, orange, white and purple." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"COGNITIVE FUNCTION: Concord grape juice significantly improved laboratory animals' short-term memory in a water maze test, as well as coordination, balance, and strength. WEIGHT CONTROL: A study found that grape seed extract may be helpful in limiting absorption and accumulation of dietary fat in cells observed under a microscope. Tips on Using Grapes SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Look for grapes that are intact, plump, and free of wrinkles. • Red grapes should be mostly red, green grapes should have a slight yellowish hue, and blue-black and purple grapes should be deep in color." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Covert sugars are the sweet things hidden in foods, like high-fructose corn syrup, malt barley, maltodextrin, concentrated pear juice, white grape juice and raisin paste. Fruit is a covert sugar. Most people are not aware of covert sugars until they start reading labels. If you have not made a conscious choice to eliminate sugars from your diet, you are probably eating covert sugars. We will talk about covert sugars in depth in Chapter 9. 8. I eat foods made with refined white flour. These foods include white bread, refined-flour breads, white rice, French bread, bagels, pastry and pasta. 9." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)
