Juicing is a dangerous fad that is bad for your body and even worse for the environment, says one fitness expert.<\/h3>\n

Calling it the \u201ctriumph of marketing over science\u201d, health writer Johnny Adamic<\/a> has taken aim at the current craze of juicing fruit and veggies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a privileged, wasteful form of food consumption that\u2019s worse for you than cooking and bad for the environment,\u201d Adamic wrote in an article for The Daily Beast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The US juice and smoothie industry is worth $2 billion a year, and is expected to grow, but Adamic reeled off a long list of reasons why the practice is bad for us:<\/p>\n

\u201cLost to juicing are fibers that satiate (including the skin which is loaded with heart-healthy, cancer-fighting flavonoids), vitamins, and most importantly, fat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFat matters because the body needs it to absorb a whole host of vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Without fat in that juice combo, those vitamins pass right through you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJuicing fruits or vegetables high in sugar (like beets instead of leafy greens), can raise blood-sugar levels as much as drinking a can of Coca-Cola. That\u2019s because fruit sugars (fructose) are consumed without fiber to control how fast they\u2019re absorbed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBoiling, steaming, and frying foods unlocks antioxidants, phytochemicals like lycopene and specific vitamins for the body to digest, according to a 2007 study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHumans spend only a fraction of time eating compared to other animals because we learned how to break down food before eating it with heat and fermentation.\u201d This is lost when we juice our food and drink it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Why<\/p>\n

The body can’t absorb vitamins without the fat lost through juicing, says Johnny Adamic<\/h6>\n

Adamic said there was a reason why humans have cooked what they eat for several thousand years.<\/h3>\n

But he also said the modern juicing trend is bad for the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuicing might even be worse for the environment than it is for you,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the juice has been squeezed out of food, tons of pulp is left behind, thrown into landfills where they emit significant amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think \u2013 are you on the juicing bandwagon?<\/strong><\/p>\n
