I'm sure it's plenty healthy for you (Booster Juice up here sells the stuff). But then Orange juice and Grape juice have anti oxidants too. Hell unfiltered Apple juice is supposed to have a crazy amount of them. Certain kinds of tea have anti-oxidants too...they're in lots of natural foods.

Yep, sounds like the Noni and Mangosteen fads of the past. Always an air of truth beneath the hype. Pomegranate juice did the same thing for a bit, and green tea, and white tea, and so on.

Personally, I always thought breast milk was the best drink you could get in ya, followed closely by a boilermaker.

Grapples sound like they would turn your tongue purple. Interesting.

Authentic Scrapple might churn your stomach a little, kinda like authentic mexican chorizo or Rocky Mountain Oysters or menudo.

I used to know some people who drank that mangosteen juice. I looked it up, and it's all waste product, and some outfits were getting $35/bottle, diluted with some kind of drinkable juice.

That figures.

If I need a big antioxidant fix, I go up to Mt. Adams and get me a few gallons of huckleberries. Better still, go out to Grandma's house in Vaughn and get some shot huckleberries, if I can keep the bears away that is. I always figured there was some mighty good stuff in that home made huckleberry syrup grandma put on my pancakes.
