Transcript

As noted in the journal of the National Cancer Institute last year, the first research on supplements back in 1982 and every study since came to the same conclusion: get our necessary plant-based nutrients from plants—from food.
But what about Juice Plus, a supplement that claims to be the best of both worlds—all the best of fruits and vegetables extracted into pill form. Scam, or no scam? Researchers found that it’s basically just an overpriced vitamin supplement.

To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring watch the above video. This is just an approximation of the audio contributed by veganmontreal.

    I came across your presentation to the Vegetarian Summerfest 2012 and really enjoyed it.  It’s nice to hear a doctor who believes in food as medicine.  We changed our diet to plant based last summer after watching the documentary Forks Over Knives.   It is the best decision we have ever made.

    Regarding this Juice Plus clip, I’m curious who the researchers are that are being referred to and would like to read the entire letter to the editor.   Would you please send the reference info.

    Can you give more information about the benefits or harm of dehydrated juice supplements? I find it hard to believe that there is any phytonutrition left after the processing and encapsulation.

      If you go to the Juice Plus website they reference dozens of peer reviewed studies supporting their claims. To his credit Dr. Greger is not selling anything, as opposed to some of the other internet physicians such as Drs. Mercola, Sinatra, Whitaker, et. al. However, I do think he tends to view things through vegan, antisupplement eyes. The Juice Plus website presents a pretty comprehensive view of their product and I think it is worth looking at. A single review or anecdote to me is not compelling.
