- jeffbee 1y agoSo? Every living human needs a lot of calories every day.

- jeffbee 1y agoCalorie for calorie beetroot juice has the same sugar content as beets. I am certain you are not asserting that beets are not something that humans would normally digest.
- thenaturalist 1y agoWell the difference between the veggie and the juice is that the former contains a whole lot more of fiber which is an especially beneficial nutrient for our gut microbiome. Reading up on juices, I've only heard of experts not being fans of 'em.
