In Elaine's book, she says that V-8 is a good source for vegetables - if one is scared of fiber in the beginning. On her site, it claims that V-8 is illegal. I really like drinking V-8 and it gives me a nice energy boost during the day. I guess if one tolerates it, it's ok, but why is this illegal? It's gluten free and has a good source of iodine(salt). Any help here would be great.

Also, the sugars in Orange juice seems legal, but I'm not entirely clear on why fructose is ok, I guess because it's a Monosaccharide? But are those carbs ok for us? Again, like orange juice to give me a little energy in the afternoon. I don't drink it in the morning, since Elaine said this might not be a good idea at first.

Any help here would be great.
