I am not suprised beetroot juice is good for you. In general a lot of highly pigmented plants have a good dose of antioxidants and other goodies.

I am suprised they specify beetroot juice rather than just beetroots in general.

I know that fruit sugar in juice form is a little too easily absorbed but as part of a piece of fruit the fibre content etc balances it out and makes it much healthier.

In this case do they actually want it to be absorbed quickly for some reason or is it just that they happened to study beetroot juice rather than beetroots I wonder.

Coming from a science background it wouldn't suprise me if they just used juice as it's easy to quantitate, dilute etc and logistically easier to work with experimentally. Beetroot juice is probably more marketable as a health supplement also.

You have me interested now Scrap I'm going to add this to my Christmas reading to keep me entertained along with all those vids you've put up recently. Who needs to watch Christmas re-runs on tv when this is available!
