This follow-up report attempts to answer these questions. Some of the information here is borrowed from the consumer shopping guide mentioned above. Here are the big questions we're being asked about superfruit juices (along with answers for each one). The top consumer questions about superfruit juices#1: Are pasteurized superfruit juice as healthy as raw juices?No. Raw fruit juice is always healthier than pasteurized. Heat processing destroys a significant portion of the nutrients found in raw juice. #2: Is the Bisphenol-A chemical in the plastic containers used with fruit juices a threat to my health? A small threat, perhaps, but the health benefits of drinking superfruit juices greatly outweigh the health risks of plastics chemicals. Still, it's better to drink such juices from glass containers, not plastic. #3: Are organic fruit juices healthier than non-organic? Yes! Organic fruits have much higher concentrations of phytonutrients (natural plant medicines), vitamins and minerals. Organic farming is also better for the environment. But even non-organic superfruits are very good for your health, and in my opinion, the health benefits of the natural fruit juices far outweighs the cancer risk of pesticide residues. #4: Why do you call apple juice and grape juice "junk juices?" Many superfruit juice products that claim "pomegranate" or "blueberry" on the front label are actually made mostly with cheaper juices such as grape and apple. These are fillers juices that have very little nutritional value compared to pomegranate, blueberry, acai and others. #5: Are juices made from concentrate as good as juices made fresh? No! Juices from concentrate are usually imported from growers around the world (including China), then reconstituted with water. The process of removing the water in the first place causes a loss of some nutrients. Reconstituted fruit juice is never as nutritionally potent as fresh fruit juice. There is also no requirement that juice companies list the country of origin for their juice concentrates. For all you know, they may have been imported from China or some other country famous for exporting contaminated products. #6: What are the ingredients to watch out for on superfruit juice labels?
