CANNED OR BOTTLED JUICES.
Canned or bottled juices are useless for those
who desire to get the maximum benefits from
the juice-diet because the process made on
such juices and their preservation destroy
almost all their live nutrients. Furthermore,
certain harmful preservatives and chemicals
are added to them. Canned or bottled juices
are referred to as 'fresh'. But it signifies that
the juices have been extracted from fresh
fruits. Thus, juices, even if extracted from
fresh fruits, lose their live nutrients when
they are preserved. Hence we should not
mistake such juices for fresh.

Most of the canned or bottled juices are mixed with chemicals such as sugar, salt and others.
Consequently, their original colour, taste, flavour, etc. are retained and spoilage is prevented. The
most commonly used preservatives for canned or bottled juices are benzoic acid, sulphuric acid or
sorbic acid. All these chemicals are injurious to health. Heating is one of the principal processes made
on fruit-juices for the purposes of preservation. Heating destroys most of the nutrients contained in
fruit-juices.
From the point of view of vitamin content fresh and tinned juices are miles apart. That can be seen
from two examples. The vitamin 'c' content in fresh carrot-juice is 8 mg, while that in canned juice is
only 2 mg. Similarly, the
vitamin 'C' content in fresh spinach-juice is 51 mg, while that in canned juice is only 14 mg.
By consuming canned or bottled juices, chemicals contained in them would perhaps cause ulcer,
kidney-diseases, dental carries, cancer, etc. So, if freshly extracted juices of seasonal fruits and
vegetables are consumed, they will be beneficial to health and cure of disease.
