I've been staring at this drink box for a couple of minutes...

[Berry Sweet]

I make my own home made iced tea using David's Tea but the kid don't like it.  I sweeten it with honey I bought in Keremeos.

[Berry Sweet]

What are you guys talking about?  Apple juice boxes?

Yeah. Poison.

What's available today that doesn't have something in it?

[Berry Sweet]

Are you drinking juice boxes now?  I buy them for the kid.  She loves the nestea iced tea...but death to the straw wrappers! I find them everywhere..on the floor...stuck on the bottom of my feet or in the laundry....fuckin straw wrappers!!!

I buy Great Value fruit punch boxes from Walmart for my children's lunches.

To each their own but I don't like great value.  Some of it is ok.  I haven't tried their juice boxes.  I bought their froze. Veggies one time and they were horrible.  I only buy froze. Peas and carrots e everything else is fresh...with the prices on everything today tho...I really gotta watch.

Can't be that bad.  The ingredients read:  Filtered Water, Concentrated Apple Juice, and Ascorbic Acid (which is Vitamin C).

Irradiation is not an ingredient. Its a process.

[Angry White Male]

A little radiation is harmless.  We're surrounded by radiation.

"According to Lee Dexter, microbiologist and owner of White Egret Farm goat dairy in Austin, Texas, ultra-pasteurization is an extremely harmful process to inflict on the fragile components of milk. Dexter explains that milk proteins are complex, three-dimensional molecules, like tinker toys. They are broken down and digested when special enzymes fit into the parts that stick out. Rapid heat treatments like pasteurization, and especially ultra-pasteurization, actually flatten the molecules so the enzymes cannot do their work. If such proteins pass into the bloodstream (a frequent occurrence in those suffering from "leaky gut," a condition that can be brought on by drinking processed commercial milk), the body perceives them as foreign proteins and mounts an immune response. That means a chronically overstressed immune system and much less energy available for growth and repair. (source)"



Its garbage.



Can't give it away in Australia.

[Angry White Male]

Even banana's contain Potassium-40, which is radioactive.  All living things require Potassium, as an interesting side-note.

[Angry White Male]

Its garbage.

Can't give it away in Australia.

That article is about milk and the milk proteins.  I'm drinking apple juice.

[Bricktop]

Same process, different liquid.

[Angry White Male]

You're wrong.  The issues appear to happen with certain milk proteins in your quote.



I see no reference to anything similar happening with apple juice.

[Bricktop]

Slurp away as you wish.



I prefer not to touch that crap.

[Berry Sweet]

A lot of our products are American made or come from China.  I refrain from buying anything from China.  I like supporting local farmers or organic markets cause it can be local but some of the prices are outrageous.

[Angry White Male]

Don't listen to Bricktop and his Apple Juice fake news and fear mongering!



A certain milk protein that is affected by a certain process doesn't apply to apple juice in the same way.



Continue to drink your apple juice.

Avalon has good organic milk.  I buy it sometimes.  They also have this local juice drink,  500ml for $14...so stupid.
