Help! .. I need Juice

Quote:

---

Grrr what is it with companies and their obsession with using artificial sweeteners? nearly every juice I buy has been totally ruined in the last 6 months by having that shit added to them, it tastes revolting and makes me feel ill, I can decide if I want a drink with sugar in ffs, why stop selling the ordinary ones?

---

My fb status from earlier to save me explaining, does anyone know anywhere that sells cranberry juice drink or cranberry and raspberry juice/juice drink that hasn't got this crap added to it?

I used to buy the Lidl or Morrisons ones but they both changed theirs and added sweetener, now Ocean spray have done the same thing by adding a sneaky little green panel at the bottom to make it look like the old one but you can taste the difference straight away. :puke:

I'm looking for a new brand or somewhere that still has lots of old stock left without that shitty little green panel at the bottom. :angry:

Just buy cranberries and raspberries and make your own fecking juice.

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2 cups water
juice of ½ lemon or orange (optional)
honey, maple syrup, stevia, or other favorite sweetener, to taste (optional)



Place cranberries and water in a blender and blend on high for 2 minutes.
Check to see if there are any solid cranberry pieces left, and if there are, blend again until they disappear.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
Stir in lemon or orange juice and sweetener, if desired. I prefer mine unsweetened, but it might be too tangy for some.
The juice keeps in the fridge for a few days.
If you have a high speed blender, and don’t mind pulp in your juice, consider skipping the straining step and get all the benefits of the whole cranberry!

:hehe: I can't be doing with all that, I get through loads of it, having my frozen juice every night helps me with my diet, I'm in a routine.

try your local farm shop, the 2 we use around here both do " natural juices " with no added sugar

All that fructose is not particularly good for you.

I've had nearly a carton of juice every day since I started my diet, I've lost 68lb now, looking back over my diet chart there were a couple of weeks where I didn't lose anything and I couldn't work out why, I'm pretty sure they were the weeks when Steve picked up a load of cartons of the new stuff with added sweetener, before dieting I prob would of had the juice plus chocolate and other crap so I'm still better off than I was before in my book.

68lbs lost. That's a serious amount and takes a lot of will power. Well done.

A sweetener/sugar substitute, they are all horible imo, I put natural honey in my tea instead.

It's probably so you have time to get home safely, all the street lights go off at midnight. :hehe:

:hehe: It's not that bad.

I know. I went to the island sometime ago. The housing on the headland and the walk down to the strand was impressive
I was impressed with the dinosaur footprints.

You'd think by now someone would have invented un-sugar or un-sweetener so people like Mrs R could reduce the sweetness of something.

anyone good at chemistry, there's a fortune to be made!!!!

There is no need, just change the recipes back to how they were before they started putting this crap in them, I don't mind the sweetness, I just don't want artificial sweeteners, they taste revolting, you have to wonder why they are adding it to everything when consuming large amounts of artificial sweeteners may increase risk of developing type 2 diabetes for a start.

I also had a search about them not helping you lose weight, I think I'm right to avoid them..
