Juice THERAPY For Cancer Patients
Women Fitness|June 2022
When it comes to juicing for cancer, there seems to be two different opinions on this topic.

Juice THERAPY For Cancer Patients

On one side are the proponents of juicing that report that juicing allows for a large intake of fruits and vegetables and that stripping away the fiber allows for better absorption and bioavailability of the cancer-fighting nutrients.

On the other side are those that are concerned that the rapid rise in blood sugar that can be caused by consuming juice will feed the cancer and promote its growth. Which side is right and what does the research say?

In a review of the pros and cons of fresh juice consumption, authors in the UK concluded that consuming 75-224 ml daily of fresh juice did not increase the risk of obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease or poor glycemic control. They also note that in the short term studies, drinking as much as 500 ml per day was beneficial for blood vessel functioning and reduced blood pressure.

This review also cites two publications that support juice proponents' belief that the beneficial compounds in juice are more bioavailable in the juiced vs. fresh fruit form.
