LIVE Whole Food Nutrition Powder versus Super Juice Drinks

[Note: For this blog, I will compare the ultimate Whole Food Nutrition product that I take daily with the popular variety of liquid Super Juices. The product I take is called The FEAST. In my comparison I will not use specific juice company names.]

Due to recent scientific studies showing the incredible antioxidant and health components of specific berries & fruits, the nutritional market is currently being bombarded by liquid "miracle" products. Each company claims to have the "best" product. So what is the difference between The Feast and the liquid products that seem to be everywhere?

Liquid beverages have many more constraints than powders. A major challenge for liquid supplements is maintaining the small amount of nutritional integrity left in the liquid over time. The Feast retains a higher content of the naturally occurring live nutrients found in the original fresh produce, just as nature intended and as a result provides more nutritional benefit than any liquid product.

Liquid berry products typically contain ingredients from a "juice concentrate" or "puree concentrate". Both are created through the use of heat and/or vacuum. This denatures and compromises the nutritional integrity of the fruit or berry. Additionally, these products may contain as little as 10% of the actual ingredient that the product is being marketed for.

Liquid products are more expensive, particularly when you compare the nutrient content and serving size to The Feast. One jar of The Feast Powder makes approximately 180 ounces of reconstituted liquid juice, which equals 4-5 jars of any of the various liquid products.

98% of the liquid nutritional juice products on the market are pasteurized. The pasteurization process uses high heat to kill bacteria & harmful microorganisms that create food borne illness. Pasteurization reduces the very real risk of pathogenic contamination and health threatening bacteria in liquid juice products but while it appears to be a wonderful thing-in reality it is not. This heat process not only kills the bad bacteria, but it substantially alters or deactivates the majority of good, naturally occurring live nutrients that we consume the fruit or berry for in the first place!

Don't be fooled by words like "flash pasteurization". Pasteurization is just that, a process that always requires heat at a temperature higher than what the majority of live nutrients and enzymes can withstand. Many companies try to smooth-over the pasteurization process by saying that their product has been "fermented". But, in the end, after the fermentation process, pasteurization still must occur.

Many liquid products contain preservatives such as sodium benzoate and/or potassium sorbate. Without preservatives these liquid products could grow bacteria, naturally decompose and become rancid. While preservatives help prolong the shelf life of a liquid product, they are also known to cause a myriad of "mysterious" health problems.

The FDA considers these preservatives "safe" in small amounts, yet anything more than a "small amount" is considered "unsafe & unhealthy". Because the majority of the processed foods we eat contain these same preservatives, it is not "safe" to say that we are getting "small amounts" when you take into account that fact we are consuming these same preservatives on a daily basis throughout our entire lives.

Another commonly used preservative is Ascorbic Acid. Many companies use Ascorbic Acid in their liquid juice supplement for several reasons: To artificially and inexpensively increase ORAC values and Vitamin C label claims; To preserve the product; To try and compensate for the loss of nutrients due to pasteurization.

This concept is known as "overdosing".

Ascorbic acid is a synthetic, man-made version of vitamin C, and is a poor substitute for vitamin C from natural whole food sources. The addition of artificial preservatives and/or synthetic nutrients defeats the purpose of consuming an "all natural health product" in the first place.

Our modern diet is already filled with depleted, over-processed foods. URI International, believes that a natural food product should be just that - natural. The Feast contains all natural, non-pasteurized berry & fruit powders with no preservatives or synthetic additives.

Their proprietary drying process provides much higher concentrations of vital nutrients than any other product on the market. Other companies often just dry whole foods, but we juice them and dry the juice in seconds at temperatures below 100ºF, concentrating it far more than if we merely dried the entire plant and leaves as most other companies do. This process ensures that you get the highest quality product without any extra fillers, preservatives or pasteurization while retaining vital nutrients and live enzymes.

The end result - The Feast is packed with all of the naturally occurring phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

For optimal health, there's nothing better than nutrient-rich, unprocessed, unpreserved whole live foods in their balanced, natural state like those found in The Feast Powder.

URI understands that in order to provide these remarkable health and anti-aging benefits, all of the nutrients, natural balance and life force found in these fresh fruits & berries, vegetables and greens, nuts, seeds, sprouts, minerals, enzymes and living probiotics must be protected.

The process used to create The Feast maintains the vital live nutrients of the ingredients in their natural synergistic state. The Feast Powder provides a quality & quantity that will never be matched by a synthetic, processed or preserved liquid supplement.

The Feast contains 100% pure, natural whole fruit & berry, vegetable and greens, nuts, seeds, sprouts, minerals, enzymes and living probiotics powders and is a true Whole Food product that produces supreme results.

URI International refuses to compromise and has spared no expense to combine the perfect combination of quality berries & fruits even though many of them are unique and rare.

The Feast is a convenient, delicious way to drink your way to health. URI has raised the bar and produced a perfectly blended, synergistic product that is truly one of a kind, a first in its class-The Feast.

The Feast is the perfect complement to a good, healthy diet and a lifestyle that includes a beneficial exercise program. The Feast is recommended for adults and children who need to increase their servings of fruits and vegetables, and want to significantly improve their overall health, well-being and quality of life.

To sum up, The Feast has superior ingredient quality, it is less expensive, it is not pasteurized, there are no preservatives and they use a proprietary drying process that maintains the nutrients from the fruits and vegetables.
