Jason On His Juice Box #5 - The Sugar One

The question I have been asked the most over the two decades I have been writing about ‘juicing for health’ has been ‘WHAT ABOUT THE SUGAR JASON?’ I have put it in capitals because the majority of people ask the question with a little force and at times, anger. I thought I’d finally lay this one to rest in this latest episode of my ‘Jason On His Juice Box’ series

Two years ago I was almost 500lbs. I went to the supplement store to get some meal replacement supplements so I could stop eating high sugar cereals for breakfast, and I was talking to them about juicing, as I was thinking about buying a juicer. The salesman was dead set against the idea of juicing because of the "high sugar content" of juicing. I wasn't even thinking about juicing fruit, but mainly green vegetables. They also tried to sell me on a "detox" pill. I'm down 90 pounds, and will be buying a juicer next month to try to change my life even more.

[@stevechappell3119]

Hi Jason - You DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE YOUR OWN channel on TV promoting health and wellness. I absolutely love the straight talking - to the point - common sense approach and repetitive PROOF fresh fruit and veg juicing does work and is very healthy and a HUGE contributor to an overall healthy diet!! KEEP IT UP...........PLEASE!!

[@polly-7050]

The lack of common sense of people just amazes me - so many people tell me I’m eating ‘badly’ having a juice - don’t comment if I’m shoving in a full box of pringles! I’ve just started a 3 day juice cleanse (mostly because they’re my favourite juices) to give me a kickstart and got told by a someone I know ‘it’s too extreme and not sustainable’, 3 days is extreme?! Also I’m not looking to ‘sustain’ for longer than 3 days?!! As Jason repeatedly says in these posts ‘What?!’ I love these Juice Box vids! Nothing better than a good passionate rant!

[@elliewilliams8154]

I need to share jasons box on lots of these things lol

[@kellmorr918]

Jason, it finally clicked for me on the sugar thing. I have been watching a lot of your videos and I just couldn't understand how all that fruit juice doesn't raise people's blood sugar but I remember you said the soluble fiber is in the juice and insoluble fiber goes out ....anyway, it didn't click until I watched a dr from texas say insoluble fiber makes you go to the bathroom and soluble fiber stabilizes your blood sugar and my brain went oooooohhhhh. Lol

[@TheSKIETV]

At 250. 5'7 inch i find it hard to stay juicing without food so what me and my woman are doing is drinking 2 juices a day with one solid meal of greens maybe some chicken or lean ground beef. Already her and I are feeling a huge difference after only one week

[@kayjay9516]

100% agree. I am obese and about to embark on my second juice “fast” and I can confirm I did not reach my current weight by eating too many apples, celery, beetroot etc etc 🤣. I have a bad sugar addiction which I know I have to overcome for my health’s sake but funnily enough I don’t crave vegetables and fruit.

[@juicemaster]

On point Kathryn! Well said! Keep up the good work. Amy@JuicyHQ. X

[@elliewilliams8154]

hi how did the fast go are you still doing it ? its always good to keep us upto date even tho im just nosy lol@@juicemaster

[@magicsupamoggie]

What made them fat LOL its was the carrot juice innit! That cracked me up. Jason you are always good for a laugh!

[@greenkitty82]

I wish people would be convinced that juicing is great and as we see has amazing transformative results - I can't turn a family member onto juicing as I'm told 'you should always eat it whole' or 'it's a myth that nutrients are more in a juice' or 'the best experts in the world don't advocate it' ''All fruit juice is inflammatory' 'you shouldn't be juicing spinach or beetroot because of oxalates'. It really is hard work! All I say is it works for millions of people and the results don't lie! Love these juice box videos Jason!!

[@rogergale1060]

Thanks for all your hard work over the years trying to make common sense more common than it actually is! Supporting science should help but the billions of dollars behind big food will sadly probably find a way to undermine this. Let's hope more and more people get the juicy healthy lifestyle message, it really is a life changer!

[@sarahc5214]

I get exasperated just like you trying to explain to people😡 my uncle ran a large company but yet cannot understand the differences between blending and juicing and the different sugars. Why? Other people think it’s a faddy thing!!!! They say they would rather eat food as normal but they don’t eat their fruit and veg everyday!!!! I have a green juice very morning and it also makes me aware of the food then for the rest of the day. Love your commitment Jason ❤️❤️

[@elliewilliams8154]

I get that one as well normally when they are eating junk food hhahaha

[@amyhaughton1639]

Myself and my husband just started the 5-Day feeling better already I’m pregnant so I’m doing 2-3 juices a day and having chickpea salad for lunch and dinner and a banana when I wake up but we are doing it to get rid of our sugar and fast food addiction and to live cleaner lives. Also getting way more veg into the kids and they don’t even know 🙌 love it Jason thanks for all your work

[@janicemitchell5783]

Thank you Jason for explaining this tricky part of juicing. I’ve had many neg comments re blood sugar levels when juicing for 7 days ( jealousy!!). Thank you for all your work finding this out so that I can just quote it!

[@EmmaSianPritchard]

Thank you Jason. I've been juicing on and off for 15 or so years, I introduced by boys to it when they were young. Now they are 22 and 24 years old and if they are around when I'm making a fresh juice (my favourite is celery, cucumber, ginger and a green apple) I have to make more for all of us. I lost 16 lbs in 2 weeks 10 years ago by juicing in the day and eating one meal of protein and vegetables at 5pm every day. I now juice most days, I'm about to add more exercise. Feeling healthy and light feels amazing! I still however get comments from lots of people about juicing (same comments) where's the fibre..too much sugar etc...I do find that people just don't want to know the facts. Thank you for banging away at it for years! You are appreciated Jason. My body does NOT like manufactured carbs like bread or pasta, when I eat them I get false hunger pangs very soon after. On juice I feel full and satiated :)

[@juicemaster]

Great news! Keep up the good work! Amy@JuicyHQ. XX

What about fruit sugars affect on cancer? That seems to be the thing I’m hearing a lot these days. Everyone with cancer is terrified of fruit.

[@067captain]

A friend of mine with type 2 diabetes was told by her NHS diabetes specialist to refrain from eating fruit as he was concerned about the amount of sugar in fruit! How is he allowed to practice medicine. Under the care of our wonderful NHS, that same friend lost her sight and both feet amputated due to type 2 diabetes, a disease reversible in a couple of weeks!

[@shenaghjones3944]

I wonder when they are going to start labeling fruit and veg "NO ADDED SUGAR". :-p

[@MendozaMichelle100]

So, sugary drinks or apples: which is being taxed as bad for health and considered junk food? Er, let me think about that… 😗

[@elliewilliams8154]

by sugary drinks do you mean fizzy, or shop bought or fresh cold press made at home juices ? hope you don't mind me asking

[@jimboslice689]

a large apple has 25 grams of sugar. I juice about 3 a day, among other fruits. Meaning on APPLE ALONE i would be consuming the equivalent of 25 PACKS if white sugar. If I ate 25 packs of white sugar a day, Id be in the ER within a month.

Please make a juice box video about fibre in juice! I am often told by people “ Oh you should have a smoothie instead so you get all the fibre... “ sigh.

[@juicemaster]

Hi Vienna, please check out the episode of Jason's juice box kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4u6pZmuhZKmgtE . Jason covers this here. Amy@JuicyHQ. X

[@Crazydoglady.]

BOOM👊

[@lovepawsplay8530]

One could be on a fruit only diet and lose weight. Ive know a few to be able to end Hashimoto's with fruit only. Because many of the veggies have goitrogens. Fruits don't carry the risks.

[@doctorbruceguillory]

my one concern about the video is that people who don't know better might think buying apple juice in the store, or orange juice is what Jason speaks of in the video. Clarity on that would be helpful for the uninitiated. So many of the juices you see in the store have misleading labels that will make someone think it's the same as freshly juiced fruit/veggies.

[@juicemaster]

I think Jason makes it really clear in this video and across he's video content we are referring to freshly extracted juice and not shop bought. Amy@JuicyHQ. X

[@elliewilliams8154]

to me it does but im dyslexic and belong to a few groups I tend to make videos if its going to be long but some times no matter how hard you try and stress something it can still not be taken in the way its meant but there is only so many times we can say something but it gets forgotten 10sec later lol @@juicemaster

[@jillstover8782]

Nailed this about diff. Sugar natural or bad

[@PacheMaria]

You make me laugh Jason....you are sooo sooo right about it all.Juicing is the best and fastest way to loose weight, clean out your body of debris and make you feel a million dollars. You have proven yourself time and time again and I LOVE BEING ON YOUR PROGRAM now and then and have carried on the 5/2 way for a very long time and love it! Thumbs up for the JUICE MASTER which you really really are.

[@creatingart2024]

Another question, does anybody know why I have headaches and feel dizzy after drinking a juice straight from juicer?

[@phunkymind23]

Doesn't the sugar in fruit get used in the same way as any carbohydrates?

So glad!

Lol 😂 well said!

[@samchen2594]

Hello Jason! I love your videos, and I've been learning a lot more about juicing since I found your channel! I have a quick question about the effect that sugar in juices has on our liver. I understand that the biochemistry in our body is extremely intricate, but I'm wondering whether the amount of sugar in the juice (liquid form) will quickly go to our liver and cause fructose-overload which leads to NAFLD and several other hepatic and metabolic diseases. And since the fat in our liver is basically invisible, it's hard to know the potential harm that juices can have on our liver despite the many obvious/visible benefits juicing gives. Would you mind shedding some light on this?

[@juicemaster]

Please have a chat if possible with a juice therapist in your area, they can be much more specific, if you are worried about your liver and the effect juicing may have. we have a list of approved practitioners on our website. www.juicemasteracademy.com/find-a-therapist Best of luck! Amy@Juicyhq

[@findinghigherself5220]

Can you please drop links to the scientific studies when you discuss them? I’m a registered nurse who gets a lot of push back from other Clinicians especially doctors who don’t get it!! Some good ok’ hard evidence to put in their faces would be great!

[@juicemaster]

noted! Amy@JuicyHQ. XX

[@chipsbus5476]

As my mum always says… there’s nothing common about sense

[@ILordSpawnI]

After googling, an apple has about twice the grams of sugar as a Krispy Kreme doughnut. A doughnut has 37x the amount of fat though. Maybe its the fat that satisfies and not the sugar?

[@mondeogolf]

I had good results from the 28 day plan I did when it first came out lost weight, some of it has come back but that is down to me, I was looking at combining the juicing with the ketogenic diet but and apple has 20 to 30 grams of carbs so don't believe it will work was wondering what your opinion is

[@juicemaster]

I think the proof is in the pudding, or the juice ! lol! If you have done the 28 day plan and seen the results for yourself and how good you felt, then boom! Don't get to hung up on the carbs in an apple, if it works it works. Best of luck . x Amy@JuicyHQ. X

[@Talismantra]

Definitely pick one or other. I had success with juicing - but any time I mixed in solid foods it arrested weight loss. Currently doing LCHF - not strict monitored medical keto but close - and results are similar to the juicefast but for a lot less effort in food prep and less peeing - and I've kept it going for 5 months and dont see any reason to stop when I get target body-shape (just increase fat intake if I run out of stored fats.) Eating for ketosis is way slower than juicing for ketosis and that in turn is way slower than pure water fasting for max ketosis.

My first juice fast was 30 hours broke out on a rash. My second one was 24 hours and I threw up my chicken salad. What is wrong with me?

[@juicemaster]

Make sure the juices and blends aren't too cold, that can sometimes make you feel a little queasy! Perhaps ease in slowly with just a blend or juice for breakfast, with out giving up solid food for a while. Amy@JuicyHQ. X

[@juicemaster]

No, definitely no garlic shot! I think if you juiced garlic everything you ever juiced forever after would taste of garlic. Amy@JuicyHQ. X

[@NayNay-zm5ln]

Amy are you sure. I remember doing a garlic shot in one of his 28 day Juice challenges I did a few years ago. It was on his video. He said he visited a friend I think in Amsterdam that owned a juice bar and the friend wondered what he could give Jason.... the Juice Master..... and he gave him a garlic shot.

[@elliewilliams8154]

why oh way could you have not been in my living room yesterday as I had this argument once again with my brother, im diabetic and I mainly juice fruit, I lightly steam green vegs, and im waiting to come off my diabetic meds they are just waiting to make sure I can keep up the diet I am now eating, and had 3 of your books for Christmas a juicer and a blender off friends, and I phoned her and said" are you trying to tell me im fat and need to diet" their reply did and still does make me cry as it was "NO we just want you in our lives as long as we can and want to try and make you better" ok crying typing it, I have a huge list of aliments for minor to meagre, so the juicing is for the minor on of which Is I never get hungry I have an underlying eating disorder from a child but this prob wont make sense to you it neve has to anyone else, I don't care about weight I don't normally weigh I have twice since I started once in the being and one in the hospital few wks back I will be honest I have gained a few pounds BUT I know why, reason I never ate ! I can go a wk and not even notice that I have had a small bar of chocolate all wk or half a pack of biscuits, and I don't mean all day every day that was a wks worth of "food" I don't get hungry, I don't hunger pains etc I don't notice I don't eat and I can be talking to someone and im will be slurring my words and the first thing would be when did you eat last and the long pause would always give me away, the friends I mention early I had stayed to look after their dogs for a wk taken my own food as I have a million allergy's but they are getting less so thanks for that as well, but I got caught big time as b4 I had had chance to pack my food she had been in the fridge and my cooler bag and I got busted as everything was still there that I had taken up, she knew what my eating was like but she didn't think it was as bad as normally I have packed it so she doesn't see, she juices anyway and has always followed your books etc so it was yours I was bought, I know this is going on for ever but im just want Jason and you all to know how this all came around, 55% of my family are diabetic all my dads side of the family he lost both his legs and sadly died in my arms dec1st 2017 dew to him being diabetic, also some are pre diabetic, but my brother cant get throw his head how an apple he even found out how much sure was in an apple was better than a bar of chocolate, he know I have been doing it since January he came when I was juicing, so he came armed with this " research on how much sugar was in what etc" 3 whole hrs went by and still the APPLE was the bad guy may I point out he was eating cheese cake at this point pmsl I know talk about ironic lol ok yep I did have a little bit but guess what that was fine hahahaha, but the problem of not being hungry is still there, some days I have to really make my self have one, in the beginning I had to send photos of everyone lol but they all now know that If im not hungry and may not have as much jucies as I need then I will make a smoothie even if it takes me all day to drink it its better than having nothing at all I have even gone as fare as making lollys fool me in to thinking well its just a lolly you can make your self have that, It works for me but its ironic the I had the same argument 13hrs ago hahah, but I do thank my friends and you Jason for helping me be a little healthier and 1 less med and lower dose of another shame the painkillers aint gonna go any where as I have Melorheostosis in my right leg and a soft tumour in my groin which the growth has slowed down b4 I started juicing and as im only one of 401 people world wide 400 documented im the extra one they haven't put me on the list yet lol but the juicing is helping what it can there for helping me

Can I eat food with juices ... ?

Yes you can, depends on the reason for taking up juices. If your intention is to loose weight, then perhaps take on a juice only plan and see how you feel. If you want to try and heal an ailment of some kind again a juice only plan would be really beneficial. If you just want to up your veggies and fruit content and pack in all those lovely extra nutrients then add the juices into your everyday diet. Amy@JuicyHQ. X
