Too true, fruit juice and smoothies can be very bad for you. If you tried to eat the same fruit that was juiced into your drink you would struggle. There is a lot of fibre and other things which limit sugar consumption from unprocessed fruit.
- aviv 11y agoSame goes for green juices. Our bodies were not meant to receive an immediate intake of 10 freshly pressed celeries or 3 bunches of kale in one sip.
- CPLX 11y ago> Our bodies were not meant to Not to nitpick but this phrasing always bothers me. Our bodies, most likely, weren't "meant to" do anything by anyone. They've just pondered along adjusting to their environmental stimuli like everything else does.
- brianbarker 11y ago"our bodies weren't meant to eat bread." "Our bodies weren't meant to eat meat." "Our bodies are only meant to eat meat and nuts." I love when a nerd forum like HN uses modern conjecture over fact.
- theophrastus 11y agoLet us not forget the current asserted risk of kale being an accumulator of thallium - hence panic (however: http://m.snopes.com/kale-not-safe/ http://m.snopes.com/kale-not-safe/ ) Wait long enough and every substance we eat will be associated with a study which calls it into question. Then, if chance associates that study with a "slow news day", a relative panic will ensue. As a crusty old medicinal chemist, i offer the best rule of thumb (circa 16th century): [no matter what source it is] the dose makes the poison.

- ende 11y ago"the dose makes the poison" - Nice, I've always wanted a concise way of wording that same basic idea. Thanks!
