🍊Food Sources and Juice Myths
· Natural sources : berries, bell peppers, sauerkraut, leafy green vegetables
· Animal sources : beef liver ( approximately 27 mg per 100g ), steak (only 25 micrograms )
· Juice Trap :
o A glass of apple juice contains more sugar than a whole apple (about 7 teaspoons ).
o No fiber → rapid rise in blood sugar → insulin rebound → increased hunger and fatigue
o Adding "Ascorbic Acid " → a non-natural form of Vitamin C , derived from corn starch and sulfuric acid.
o Fruit juice is pasteurized at high temperatures ( 185°F ) → the original vitamin C is destroyed .
🧾Conclusion: Don't let labels fool you; knowing how to distinguish between real and fake Vitamin C is the key to true health.
Hong Kong people lead busy lives and often rely on fruit juice to supplement their nutrition, but fruit juice is not a true source of Vitamin C. Starting today, a dish of bell peppers, a spoonful of pickled vegetables, and a glass of truly natural fruits and vegetables will help build a strong foundation for your immune system !
Stop trusting packaging! Learn to read ingredients and check the source – that's true health! 💪🍋🥬
