Consumer Reports: Juice cleanses may not be worth the hefty price
Juice cleanses--a $200 million industry--has many users praising effective weight loss and body rejuvenation.
Posted — UpdatedConsumer Reports nutritionists looked at some three-day programs from some top-selling brands, including BluePrint’s Renovation Cleanse, Pressed Juicery’s Cleanse One and Suja’s Original Fresh Start.
The juices reviewed also tended to be too low in fiber and protein, and too high in sugars.
“If you’re healthy and you do a cleanse for one, two, or even three days, it’s probably not harmful,” Keating said. “But any longer than that just really isn’t smart because they just don’t contain all the nutrients your body needs.”
The most effective way to see change without paying a high price is to make healthier eating and drinking choices.
Consumer Reports reached out to the manufacturers regarding their claims. Those that responded defended the benefits of their products.
The company’s health experts reviewed their information but said they're not convinced the products are worth the money.
