Is V-8 Juice Health For You?

This week, you'll get a detailed discussion of the pros and cons of drinking V-8 juice. We try to outline some of the advertising strategies they use to give you a false sense of security, in making you feel like this is a perfect substitute for eating FRESH fruits and veggies. It is NOT. The best I can say right now, and of course listen for more details, is that V-8 may serve as a good substitute for a sugary, low nutrition snack. A serving of V-8 is better than a bag of chips, double-stuffed cookie, or killer coffee drink. I do not feel that this, in any way, replaces the necessary servings of fruits and vegetables we so desperately need to maintain health each and every day.Where I do have a major issue is with the advertising, on the coattails of the original V-8 products, that all of their new "Fruit and Veggie Blends" are of the same make-up as the original formulation. They are not. It's a well marketed version of a sweetened fruit juice. Sugar, water, and no fiber.For information on V-8 products, check out this link.To send Dr. Joe Galati a message, or be seen as a patient, visit his website and contact page.Make sure you subscribe to all of the podcast episodes, rate them, send us feedback, and share them with your community.Available on:SPOTIFYTUNEINAPPLE PODCASTPOCKET CASTSOVERCASTACASTIHEART RADIO PODCASTGOOGLE PODCASTSTITCHERYOUTUBE Hosted on Acast.
