I've read the pros and cons of consuming beet juice. The good stuff is it helps lower blood pressure, relaxes blood vessels and even helps whip cancer's a$$. The cons include beeturia (making stool and urine have a pink or red color), kidney stones and vocal cord problems. Granted all these are based on consumption. I'm only having a glass so I'll presume that I'm safe from harm.
I was afraid to drink the beet juice alone as I've read that its very potent, so I sweeten the flavor by adding some other fruits. I juiced: 1 beet, 1 cup of pineapple and 1 pacific rose apple. I traveled my concoction to work, so I ended up adding a few ice cubes to chill it a bit and it was delish! The flavor was strong and it made my mouth pink, we shall see if anything else "comes out" pink! Haha!
