    There has been much controversy about juice bars lately. A Booster Juice opened up on my campus the other day and is being promoted as a healthy alternative to campus food. Personally I am skeptical about Booster Juice. Here is why:

    The boosters in the juices are marketed as health products. But there is no evidence that they necessarily have any health benefits. Even if they did, taking it once in a drink is not enough to benefit your overall health. It would have to be taken periodically (like a multivitamin) to give you any of the health benefits.

    One large container of juice is approximately maybe 5 servings of fruit at once. We know how much a serving of juice is. According to Canada's Food Guide (it's 1/2 a cup - 125 ml). Here you are taking in many more servings of fruit... all in at once! Which ideally you want to spread out your fruit intake for the day.

    Many of the drinks unknowingly to most people have 400-500 calories, which is enough for a meal! And most of what is in the drink is fruit, boosters of some sort and possibly yogurt. This is not sufficient to replace a meal, ideally you should try to get 3-4 servings of food groups in each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner).

    I think Booster Juice has potential, but it confuses people as to what healthy is. I just don't get the juice industry: Wouldn't you rather drink water and eat fruit - pure and unprocessed? That is better for you as a snack and not worth 1/4 of your day's worth of calories. That could be saved for real food!

    I'm not saying Booster Juice is bad at all. But there is a reason why it is called Booster Juice, they are meant for when you are active and need a quick fix, energy or a protein shake after a workout. I'll admit that if I ever was in a rush on a busy active day, I just might consider getting one. If you are inactive and drinking it as a snack, then you are just over consuming liquid calories! And not all of the boosters are meant for everyone, you have to be careful about what you put into your drink!

    Just remember, water is the best thing you can put in your body!
