Orange juice versus grape juice...which is better for you?
O J is generally considered an excellent source of vitamin C, but I
would expect grape juice (the purple stuff) to have plenty of C as well,
plus it is extolled as having a high amount of anti-oxidants.
There isn't really room in the fridge for a large container of each.
So if you could only drink one or the other, regardless of which you
liked better...which would you pick?

If you had to choose between two vapid questions to ask to dispel your
boredom, why would you pick this one instead of the other? -aem

4mg vitamin C/100g of grapes vs 53mg vitamin C/100g of oranges.
I don't feel like digging through what I found about antioxidant
properties of fruits.

If the grapes led the antioxidant stuff, I'd maybe go for that because
it would be easier (for me to eat) to get the Vitamin C from other
sources. Go ahead -- I dare you to try to make something coherent out
of that.

Yeah well, I'm just ****ed off this morning. I'm an American and this
morning I read our President's remarks this week about the CIA prisons
and Guantanamo and what he wants in additional authority to torture and
then to use "evidence" gained from torture to prosecute prisoners who
don't get due process. I know that he wants to impose democracy in the
middle east oilfields, but I can't figure out why that means he has to
eliminate democracy here. For relief, I turn to rfc and find virtually
nothing about food or cooking and two pages of title lines most of
which lack the OT tag that they ought to have. And it's too early here
on the left coast to start drinking. Sorry 'bout that, as we used to
say long ago and far away. -aem

"blah blah justify myself for untagged OT posting about untagged OT
posting."

We're all kinda abasive today.

Orange juice for the C and the Folic Acid and Wine and Chocolate for
the antioxidants.

Grape juice, of course - but only the kind that has been allowed to
ferment a while before bottling.

And chile peppers have far more vitamin C than oranges - so I simply eat
lots of peppers instead of grapes or oranges.

You're obviously a moron, so it wouldn't make any difference in your
case.

If I really had to pick it would be parsley.

Neither. Juice is sugar-water.

Clearly, the one which tastes best to you is the one to keep in
stock.

It's unbelievably silly to worry about arcane details such as the
level of vitamins. A balanced diet provides all the vitamins you
need.

Of course, if it's orange juice you wouldn't buy one with added
sugar ... would you?

Nah, it has potassium, for one thing.

Well, for the folks who need to avoid extra potassium, they should go
for the grape, I 'spose.

I figure that variety is important too. Food value varies. Some foods
are high in some elements and low in others. Some are high in one kind
of vitamin or proteins and low in others, while other foods are the
opposite. Rather than find the best <?> to have all the time, go for the
variety.

I wish I could drink more juice. Citrus and apple juices disagree with
me. I used to love grapefruit juice, but it was the worst for me. I drink
grape, cranberry and pineapple juices instead.

I didn't know some people had to avoid potassium. Enlighten me if you
feel like it.

Not necessarily. Not if you've just made it yourself... as I posted
elsewhere, we just acquired a juicer that could juice a Chevy, and in
part the timing was so that we could take advantage of a friend's
bumper crop of Concord grapes.

If you're even remotely interested, you can read what I wrote about the
juicer, and the fresh-pressed grape juice, he

Grapes have high levels of fluoride, so you shouldn't give a lot of
grape juice to small children unless you don't mind their teeth turning
brown from fluorosis.

A bigger fridge? Or alternate between the two or more kinds of juice.

Individuals with serious kidney problems or serious infections may have
too-high potassium levels, as well as those on certain types of
chemotherapy. High levels can cause the condition, hyperkalemia.
Insufficient levels can cause the condition, hypokalemia. Either extreme
can be dangerous, even resulting in death.

every 7 days we all need a carbohydrate (wrongly named
Vitamin ) C .

But it can make runny stolls , so take
only 50 mg at a time .

-------------------------
There is no scientific evidense to support

antioxidants .


Your body does oxidation and antioxidation
at millions of appropriate places
and it

DOES NOT want you to antioxidize anything .


Instead , use common sense , eat what tastes good
but in moderation .
Do not take excess trace elements , they will kill you .
Such as iron . It accumulates in liver and can't be
removed except by a mortician .

You must take iron ONLY after you have studied
your problem with the aide of other experts .
If they have medical lic' from the gov't , they will
not help . They are unethical .
Ethical physicians dont think profit when thinking
therapy .
In a successful society , they are "hobbiests" , they
learn as a hobby .
And they only offer advice to the rich , as it should
be in a successful soc' ,
Offering tips to poor is unethical ,
it only does a "Mutha Teresa" on the world population .

I wish I could drink more juice, too, but it ALL disagrees with me. Years
and years ago I used to buy blueberry juice from Trader Joe's in California
and I found that to be one of the few my stomach would deal with. Dang, I
miss it!
