Is V8 (the vegetable juice) good for you?

Answer 1

Well, I have juicer at home and I made my own homemade "V8" juice and compared the two. They taste NOTHING alike.

The V8 juice has tons of sodium as well as some preservatives that you could do without. It has vitamins, yes, but at what cost? Find an alternative at a health food store. I guarantee it's better for you.

Answer 2

Well, I'll say its much better for you than soda or any other types of juices. Water and fresh vegetables is better, but when I dont have time I drink V8 myself. It does have sodium but, as long as you dont drink a bottle every day to take the place of vegetables, its alright stuff.

This is the low sodium, regular has 4 times more sodium.

I really didnt want to stress the 2 servings of vegetables per cup, I think of V8 as emergency veggies.

Answer 3

One eight-ounce serving of V8 Splash® contains 100% of the Recommended Daily Value of Vitamin C... that's more Vitamin C than a medium orange, and with 1/3 less sugar than other leading fruit drinks!1

so i would say thats good for you ,agree

Answer 4

Oh YES!V8 is an excellent source of good nutrition and is great for someone who doesn't want to eat alot of veggies per day..You still need to eat some veggies but V8 can be a great source of that aswell...I Can't think of a more healthy drink!

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

that is processed and as a result undesirable. to be certain that it to be healthful, it desires supplements and enzymes. that is damaging in the two categories. with the intention to be canned and broken down right into a answer, it must be cooked. supplements dont' do wellness cooked and are oftentimes killed or their pH has replaced and as a result do not metabolize the comparable way on your physique. Enzymes -- issues in uncooked meals you will possibly be able to desire to digest -- are killed off. Plus, V8 has a large style of salt. Salt, in large quantities -- and we get plenty in our diets (over the on a regular basis decrease) -- will extract minerals from our bones. To get an entire serving of end result and greens, eat uncooked and clean greens. Frozen don't have enzymes and little or no supplements. They grow to be empty energy. I incredibly much forgot, v8 might have supplements listed in teh nutrition data, yet their fortified. while supplements are fortified, that is totally not likely they'll take in.

Answer 6

No its not. What is good for you are the natural fibres in fruit and veg and the minerals and vitamins it contains. V8 has no natural fibre nor nutrients left once its been mashed up, messed about and bottled.

Answer 7

Provided you get the low sodium version yes, it is. It won't completely replace eating veggies but it will help supplement when your diet is low in them. You still need the roughage that eating the vegetable provides.

Answer 8

I use it to chase my vitamins every morning, and it counts as one of the five a day. It is, as others have said, very, very high in sodium, however. Also, I have a nagging suspicion that it contains MSG under the cover of "natural flavorings." The company (Campbells) denies it strenuously, but they won't say what those "natural flavorings" are.

Answer 9

It's pretty healthy. It's rich in vitamins and a good source of veggies. The only thing it has going against it is sodium and preservatives (it's canned) so take note of that.

Answer 10

Distracted dining could possibly get you in trouble. Avoid eating looking at a television or in a movie theatre, as you're bound to ingest more calories.
