What kind of test do they do that reveals "Moderate Tissue Acidosis and Major
Tissue Oxidation?" If you are trying to get antioxidant value out of your food,
your best bet is to do it with supplements like grapeseed extract, which is a
major antioxidant. I don't think that juicing alone is going to work, but that's
just my humble opinion.
What type of doctor said that you had this oxidation problem?
You can eat cooked veggies on a diabetic/carb controlled plan, just don't fry
them.
The juice is going to play havoc with your insulin, by the way, if you have any
insulin problems.
