Is V8 bad for you?

Question

because of the high sodium in it?

Answer 1

V8 Juice is very good for you and you can buy low sodium V8.

Answer 2

On a day I was a litle low in the fruits and veggies department, I looked at a bottle of V8 Splash. I put it bac in the cooler of the conevience store when I read "high fructose corn syrup" as one of the first two or three ingredients. I don't know why somebody wants to contaminate something perfectly yummy and naturally sweet as fruits and veggies with over processed chemicals.

Answer 3

Greg is correct in recommending the low-sodium version. There is no added sugar in it (some vegetables contain sugar naturally, such as carrots). The list of ingredients: Tomato Juice from Concentrate (Water, Tomato Paste), Reconstituted Vegetable Juice Blend (Water and Concentrated Juices of Carrots, Celery, Beets, Parsley, Lettuce, Watercress, Spinach), Lemon Juice from Concentrate (Water, Lemon Juice Concentrate), Salt, Natural Flavoring, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Citric Acid.

Is it as healthy as fresh vegetables? No. Is it as healthy as freshly juicing raw vegetables yourself? No. Is it bad for you? No. If you're not going to eat enough vegetables anyway or make your own juice, drinking V8 is better than not.
