There's now an ice cream cleanse—but is it healthy?

[Zippyjuan]

Naked Juice isn't organic and it is pasteurized. Odwalla would be a better comparison, but it is pasteurized as well. It also has a ton of carbs and no coconut.

Fine details but again, as far as your body is concerned, that won't make any significant difference. But your wallet will be a little lighter. If you feel better spending $50 a day for juices (or non-dairy ice cream), you are certainly free to do so. And your body will be right back to where it was at the beginning within a week.

Or it makes all of the difference. Pasteurizing removes most of the minerals, vitamins and enzymes.

BTW Suz, it is only effective when it is combined with Ice Cream enemas.

Ice cream? Where do I sign up?

Some veggies need heat to make their nutrients more available. Tomatoes for example. On others, the nutritional impact may be small as well.

Pasteurization is the process of treating juice, milk and other foods to kill harmful germs, usually by heating. Although the levels of certain nutrients in juice may decrease with pasteurization, the final product retains most of the original nutritional value. Because raw fruit juice may contain disease-causing germs, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires a warning label on all unpasteurized juices sold to the public.

Vitamin C

Vitamins are more vulnerable to heat destruction than are sugars and minerals. Pasteurization may cause low-level loss of some of these micronutrients. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is the most vulnerable of the vitamins to heat degradation during pasteurization. Fresh-squeezed orange juice contains approximately 124 milligrams of vitamin C per cup; pasteurized orange juice contains approximately 84 milligrams, nearly one-third less. However, the amount of vitamin C in a single cup of pasteurized orange juice exceeds the recommended daily allowance for adults. Pasteurized grape and tomato juices are also good sources of vitamin C, with 63 milligrams and 45 milligrams per cup, respectively.

Other Vitamins
Thiamine may partially degrade during juice pasteurization. Although many pasteurized juices contain low levels of thiamine, fortified cereals and rice, whole-grain products, nuts and meats are the principal sources of this B-complex vitamin in the American diet. Other vitamins commonly found in popular fruit juices include B-6, E, niacin and riboflavin. The levels of these vitamins vary depending on the type of fruit juice and processing techniques.

Consuming just juice for four days in a row is going to leave you short of vitamins and other nutrition anyways since it is not a complete or balanced food. But as I said, anybody who doesn't mind spending $50 a day on something like that is certainly free to do so.

If it's non-dairy, wouldn't that be more of a sherbert or sorbet cleanse?

 

[Zippyjuan]

They use coconut milk- not water- which has saturated fats in it. You can buy coconut yogurts or soy yogurts or even almond yogurts these days.

Some chocolate is supposed to be very beneficial, so we might see this eventually. I'll be on the lookout!!

This may work!
Cacao nibs and detox – the delicious treat for an extra clean sweep!


We’ve been assisting our bodies in the elimination of dangerous toxins that can lead to illness and disease for thousands of years. Indeed eliminative herbs with laxative, diuretic and blood purifying properties have long been harnessed by a variety of cultures. The Chinese for example, have been taking herbal prescriptions for detox since 2700 BC. Colonics has been employed as an effective detox technique since 1500 BC and sauna as a popular form of cleansing since 1112 BC. Thankfully, these days there are a number of powerful superfoods that give our bodies a rigorous clean sweep, without us having to resort to complex and foul tasting herbal remedies. And you’ll be pleased to learn that delicious raw cacao nibs is one of them!


Cacao nibs – far more than just a tasty treat

Cacao nibs are peeled and crumbled pieces of whole raw cacao beans that boast an incredibly rich aroma and intense chocolate flavour and are absolutely crammed with beneficial nutrients including vitamins (especially vitamin C), minerals (such as iron, magnesium, chromium, zinc and copper), antioxidants, fibre and essential fatty acids. As well as proving a useful aid to detox, raw cacao has been used in both traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine (particularly for the treatment of the heart, kidneys and spleen) for generations and is associated with an impressive list of additional health benefits:

•Weight loss
•Reduced blood pressure (which in turn lowers our risk of heart disease and stroke)
•Improved mood and concentration
•Increased energy levels
•Heightened libido

Cacao nibs and detox

There are a number of important ingredients in cacao nibs that are responsible for their first-class ability to cleanse and detox. These are examined in more detail below.

If you are thinking about doing a cleanse because you are concerned about your health and diet, eating ice cream (no matter what they try to call it) is not going to do much good for you- it may increase your desire for more unhealthy foods like more ice cream.

“The basic problem is this is an unbalanced diet approach,” Dr. David Heber, an endocrinologist at UCLA, told TODAY. “There’s no way that a three-day detox diet is going to remove toxins that you may or may not have in your body.”

Dude.... DUDE!!

It's ice cream. I'm trying to put toxins into my body! Yum Yum Yummy-YUM toxins!!

Now shut the hell up and pass me a spoon!!!
