CyberGene: moved from another discussion CyberGene For instance, you mention "alcohol" companies, well wine is also an alcohol and it's scientifically prove...

My doctor says not to drink your fruits. Nor your vegetables.

Tomato juice tastes good ... but it's loaded with salt. Not good.
Likewise V-8 "vegetable cocktail". Not good.
Most so-called fruit juices are heavily loaded with added sugar. Not good.
Even those that are truly 100% squeeze-the-fruit-into-the-jar and nothing else ... have too much sugar.

So I stopped drinking orange juice. And tomato juice.
And I long ago stopped the soft drinks.

I guess I should now just drink whiskey. It's good for me, right? Ask my doc!

That's good counsel because you won't miss out on the fiber. However, Some of these "superfoods" have great anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and in concentrated (juice form) can be taken in larger quantities for maximum benefit. Pomegranates, for example, might help prevent neurodegenerative diseases. Getting enough by consuming just the seeds might be a bit challenging.

The problem with many people is they can’t stop themselves when they have one. I’m lucky that I don’t like alcohol besides some wine and I can’t drink more than a glass. I’m rarely drinking alcohol these days. Maybe a glass of white wine once every two weeks.

Drinking pure pomegranate juice is challenging. Very.

I've been using a NutriBullet for years. Mix in some other fruits to create delicious smoothies.

Yes, and look what that got them; not one of them is alive today,
(I'll show myself out).

So I guess you're drinking everything that you would have otherwise eaten whole?

CyberGene

QuasiUnaFantasia Yes, and look what that got them; not one of them is alive today,

But they don't decay. That's a step forward to immortality 😉

QuasiUnaFantasia Are you saying they are gone today because of alcohol?

Yes that must be it. What's a few thousand years for someone capable of building pyramids? 😁

No, I'm a strong advocate for fiber. At least 30 -40 grams a day. However, I do a lot of fruit smoothies for the extra concentrated boost and because they taste great.

there's a solid theory that Plowing is what destroyed both the Roman and Egyptian empire. their agricultural practices rapidly depleted the land because they didn't have enough knowledge on soil mycology. even in moderna, we pretty much only took to no-plow seriously within the last 20 years.

for the romans/egyptians, their empire well outstripped their ability to feed it. the environment shifted under their feet, a few bad years, and it was over.

even today we're fighting monocultures which are bankrupting farmers and the environment.

I get super duper sleepy very shortly after half a can of beer or quarter glass of wine/sparkly. Plus very red in the face. That's the reason I am forced to not drink it in general. It creates issues like the super sleepy/tiredess. But … because I like the taste of beer ….. the 0% alcohol 'beer' products from the supermarket is really good.

In Australia ….. unlike in USA where people can just buy alcohol from Safeway etc, the supermarkets here in Aus don't sell consumable alcohol. So we have to go to liquor/alcohol stores to buy that.

i remember reading about this chemical that blocks the effects of alcohol, maybe it was a movie, idk long time ago.

not gonna lie, i might have imagined it. 🙃

I love booze, although I don't drink it very often. I particularly like cocktails, so it's probably a good thing that I'm not a regular drinker. This conversation has me craving a Negroni.
