DESCRIPTION: Why the spike in antioxidant levels in our bloodstream after drinking apple juice might not be a good thing. This is the third in a loose video series about sugar. Make sure to see Wednesday's Miocene Meteorites and Uric Acid (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/miocene-meteorites-and-uric-acid) and Friday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day Flesh and Fructose (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flesh-and-fructose/). The antioxidant comparison is taken from my video Antioxidant Power of Plant Foods Versus Animal Foods (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-power-of-plant-foods-versus-animal-foods/). The comparison among juices is from Best Fruit Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-fruit-juice/). There is actually a fruit that's healthier in juice form. See The Fruit Whose Juice is Healthier (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-fruit-whose-juice-is-healthier/). Conventional apple juice may also contain contaminants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fungal-toxins-in-apples/), so one should probably avoid apple juice, but what about apples? Find out in the next video of the day Apple Skin: Peeling Back Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/apple-skin-peeling-back-cancer/).
