Thanks, Ken, for your comments.

It's vegetable juice, and I bought my juicer when I was wearing orthodontic
appliances for three years, because chewing enough to stay nourished was
impossible. And, even allowing for the sugar rush, there's nothing quite
like the surge of getting all the good things in a whole bunch of greens,
six carrots, and a big clove of garlic, all assaulting your tastebuds and
digestion at once. I know what carbs feel like, but this "juice rush" is
different and I like it.
I also juice vegetables for my dog, and mix the pulp back in. Dogs lack the
ability to break down cellulose, and the veggies they get are the
predigested ones in the prey animal's digestive tract. So we raw feeders
use the veggie mush to make up a small percentage of the ideal
species-specific diet we are trying to emulate.

Agreed, about the quality. The other day I heard that since green tea has
gotten so popular the quality has suffered to the point where huge lots of
it were found to contain toxic levels of DDT.
I'm not sure about the rightness of stimulants in general, on Paleo or any
diet. Where does it start becoming dangerous? At what point does food
become a stimulant? It seems as though every culture has its drug of
choice, but when in prehistory might this have started? Are there any
primates that search out stimulants, besides the poor tame chimps on TV who
play hide-and-seek with Coke cans?
