  • Not to shit on your parade (and congratulations for losing that weight!) buuuut for anyone reading this thinking “juicing” is a shortcut to a healthy life:

    It really isn’t.

    Fruit juices like apple or orange juice especially when bought contain a ton of sugar and often lack all-important fiber as OP points out.

    In fact, drinking a lot of (fruit) juice has been linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes (see “health effects”). There is absolutely no indication that juicing is in any way superior to just eating fruit and veggies and to the contrary quite some indications that juicing is actually inferior.

    And not to put words on your mouth OP but juicing proponents often overlap with detox proponents, another fad which has absolutely 0 base in reality.



  • Counterpoint: I think this gets a bad rep because people overdo it. Personally, I think #000000 black text on white to be… Glaring? Like the stark contrast is hurting my eyes. Going for e. G. #444444 solves this while not sacrificing legibility. But then you get fancy #999999 super thin script on white and I’m right there with you.
