Suja

Suja is an organic cold-pressed juice that is cashing in on the ridiculous cleansing fad. The juice is made lemonade style meaning it is pressed and filtered and nothing else.

I was at an outdoor festival where they gave away samples for free.

Of course they used young ladies to both hand out the samples and take pictures of attractive drinkers. Sadly no one asked for my picture.

Back to the juice, I tried the flavors Fuel and Purify and both were very good. Light flavor and filtered well. Fuel contains carrot, orange, apple, pineapple, lemon, and turmeric with 140% of your Vitamin A needs. While Purify contains carrot, apple, celery, cucumber, beet, and lemon with 190% of your Vitamin A needs. There are no other nutrients that would make this a replacement meal.

Now on to the cleanse myth. They advertize this as a great juice for cleanses. The problem is that cleanses, especially 5-day ones, are useless and never work as they claim. A cleanse is temporary starvation. The body reacts in a primitive way slowing shutting down your organs, when you finally do eat after the cleanse your body rewards you with a euphoric feeling. It is your bodies way to say that you almost died and please eat more on a regular basis.

No toxins are ever removed during a cleanse since your body actual retains more during this starvation period. Not to mention that toxin build up is also a myth. When you have surgery you are urged to stop eating for immediate medical reasons and some fools thought that it was the liquid diet that helped cure them.

The 16 ounce bottle is $8.99 each and $6.99 for the bad flavors. The ridiculous price along with the nonsense use as a cleanser make this a product to avoid. The flavor is good for the ones I tasted but I see nothing special about it. There are currently some $1.50 coupons available online for this product.

Recommendation: Try it for yourself.
