I think the trouble is people like this journalist insist on lumping all juices into the same category.
An orange juice you buy in a bottle has nothing at all in common with a juice of fruits and vegetables that you do at home - they are completely different.
One has been processed to death (quite literally) there is almost none of the fresh vitamins and alive goodness left in it after they pasturise it and it is full of processed sugar that they add in afterwards.
They totally contradict them selves when they say eat whole fresh fruit and veg instead but go on to say that "according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, bugs in the fruit pose additional dangers. It cautions that all raw food can harbour pathogens that cause vomiting, diarrhoea and — in worst-case scenarios — conditions like hepatitis and even kidney failure.
While the fruit juice you buy at the supermarket has been pasteurised to prevent these problems, the stuff you make at home hasn't.
Washing the fruit beforehand can help, but it’s far from a fail-safe."
So basically pasturise everything you eat !
Jason Vales answer to all this was great -
"Quick, stop whatever you’re doing, get your juicer and smash it to smithereens. For if you haven’t already heard, the news is in: junk food, it transpires, is not to blame for the obesity and health crisis – it’s apple, cucumber and broccoli juice!
I must admit I always had my suspicions. Look in the fridge of any morbidly obese person and all you’ll see is a stack of cucumber, broccoli, carrots, apples and celery all waiting to be juiced. I should have put two and two together years ago when watching programs such as ‘half tonne woman’ and ‘Britain’s fattest man’. All you see on these shows are extremely overweight people, unable to move, getting increasingly frustrated that they no longer have the energy or ability to juice their vegetables. Whenever you see any fat and sick person, you and I both know, a juicer and some vegetables will be lurking somewhere in the background. I don’t know why I haven’t seen it up until now, it seems so obvious once you look at this evidence. As we speak our National Health Service is being brought to its knees because of the sheer volume of people who are now drinking freshly extracted fruit and vegetable juices, it’s so mind-blowingly obvious I don’t know why I haven’t figured this out until now. I never once, not once, put our obesity and health crisis down to the liquid contained within fruits and vegetables and I’m questioning why I haven’t seen this until now when all the signs were there for all to see. Well, when I say I have finally seen the real cause the obesity and health crisis sweeping the nation, it wasn’t actually my astute observations at all, and I really shouldn’t take the credit, it was an extremely insightful woman, Alice Smellie, writing in yesterday’s Daily Mail who finally enabled me to see the light. Finally the cause of obesity and type 2 diabetes has surfaced and we have the Daily Mail and Alice Smellie to thank.
Now clearly I am being facetious (I’m now hoping you haven’t taken me seriously and smashed up your juicer!) but Alice Smellie was being one hundred percent serious when she wrote this double page headline..."
