Question from Savanna
Hello Debra, I was wondering if you new anything about Youth Juice manufactured by Our World Network? I have used if for a couple of months and like it, I like the idea of having a whole food nutritional supplement. It is made of berries and sea vegetables. However, I have read some disturbing things about the founders of the company and products that have been produced by them in the past (Sleepees-potentially harmful ingredients were not disclosed in the ingredients list). I was wondering if you new if this was a good product and if you would recommend taking it. Thanks Savanna
Debra’s Answer
I would not recommend taking Youth Juice. I don’t know anything about the concerns you mention, but I don’t think it’s a necessary product or even the best antioxidant supplement.
Youth Juice is sold as an antioxidant product. It is made from organic berries and sea vegetables.
Antioxidants are necessary to combat free radicals in your body. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons on their outer shells. Just like us humans who want to be with a mate, these unpaired electrons are looking to mate up with other electrons. But instead of mating with a “single” electron, they go steal “husbands” and “wives” from other “marriages,” detroying those marriages. Free radicals (also called reactive oxygen species) are a natural byproduct of energy production and other body processes, and our bodies have antioxidants to keep them in check. However, various other factors–including poor nutrition and exposure to toxic chemicals–can greatly increase the amount of free radicals in the body, leading to an imbalance.
It is widely known that excess free radicals speed the aging process and cause damage to cells or their components. Free radical damage has been links to many conditions and diseases including Alsheimer’s, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, heart disease as well as premature aging.
The remedy to free radical damage is
1. reduce the amount of free radicals created (such as increasing nutrition, reducing exposure to toxic chemicals, and eliminating toxic chemicals from your body)
2. putting more antioxidants in your body to restore the balance.
I feel fairly confident that Youth Juice will supply antioxidants. But is it necessary to get antioxidants from a bottle? No.
