Why V8 Juice is Not as Healthy as They Say

My name is Rene with Reality of Aging and today's subject is going to be on why V8 isn't as healthy as they say it is.

The number one reason why V8 Juice is not as healthy as they say it is, is that the fiber that is in the vegetables is extracted from the juice, so you're only left with basically the components, the fluid that is in the vegetables which, in turn, is not a bad thing. But, in combination with the fiber, that's really where the benefit is.

There is no real benefit to drinking juices. There is more of a benefit -- when we use the word health, I would like to directly associate that with the healthiest thing you can do for yourself which would be green vegetables. That is healthy. Turning green vegetables into juice is not as healthy as eating green vegetables and that is the fact of the matter.

So, when you see the V8 commercial, don't be duped into believing because you're taking V8, you're getting what you need. You're not getting what you need because you need fiber every day.
Your intestinal tract has the immune system.

80% of your immune system is in your intestinal tract. Where you absorb nutrients is in your intestinal tract. The thing that cleans this is fiber.

V8 Juice has no fiber in it, and that's how simple it is.
So, if you really want good health, eat the green vegetables, forget about the juices and you'll be that much better for it.

No benefit to the juice, ha!

There are many minerals, vitamins, etc. still left. True it is not a serving of fiber, but it is far healthier than water or a flavored drink. Vegetables>V8>most all other drinks. Considering drinking V8 is way easier than preparing and eating vegetables I think this isn't even a rational argument. Do people really drink this instead of a meal??

Whole food source is better then juicing your right we need fiber and the whole food...for optimum health .. whole food source is better then supplements too our body uses and absorbs what god has put down here for us better then man made supplement which more then not turns toxic in our body.

@MSBrown1115 Yes that might be true but to people like me who need a ton of salt because my blood pressure is so low it's nearly non-existent. V8 is a god-send.

Are you kidding?Your complaining about the fiber?! That stuff is a fucking Heart-Attack in a bottle!I mean,have you seen how much salt they put in those things?My dad cant drink that stuff because he has diabetes and thats waaaay too much salt,even for me.

I don't live on v8 juice or any other juices alone. I eat other things that provide all of the fiber I need. Thank you. So what is this guy trying to say? That we all have to get off of the juice wagon? A varied diet with proper exercise will do the job.

@raiuj thank just curious

@eliteswordsman1 his saying that the v8 juice is good, but if you really want to get healthy eat vegetables because it contains fiber. I hope you know his talking about the 100% percent vegetable juice not the fruit ones.

"Turning green vegetables into juice is not as healthy as eating green vegetables and that is the fact of the matter." -

Disagree, only 40% of nutrients are bio-available when the whole vegetable is consumed compared to 93% bio-availability if juiced, you emphasis on the importance of fibre is correct however.
