Transcript

What about, juice plus supplements? Dubbed in the American Journal of Medicine as toxicity plus, … here’s indicators of liver inflammation before juice plus, the huge spike, and then, coming back down after stopping it.

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.

    Still confused about Juice Plus. Was this liver problem found in only one patient?

  • Ebaker0460_98

    It was a case report.  Here is a link.  Why take juice when real fruit and vegetables are available? Here is the link to the article – plushttp://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(09)00712-8/fulltext

    Interesting you should choose to highlight a case report of hepatotoxicity of a cancer patient while avoiding comment on the 24 published studies, many randomized and placebo controlled, which show benefits. I love your site, but you appear to be suffering a bias here. In particular I’d like to see you review the reduction in oxidative stress in athletes (three studies) and the apparent induction of superoxide dismutase (one study) found by the researchers in the Carolinas and Austria. As well, the inhibition of brachial artery constriction after a high fat meal and the arrested coronary artery calcification in hypertensives is intriguing and warrants comment.

      If an unnecessary product has both potential benefits and risks (such as JuicePlus, or kombucha, or spirulina, or green tea supplements) I tend to err on the side of caution and encourage folks to stick to things that only boast benefits.. Why accept any unnecessary risk as all?

  • So tired of drug pushers

    You wanna trust the AMA???
