Carol,

No juice is extremely concentrated. All juices are mostly water.

As for Loren's claim that green juices are stimulants, all I can say is that
I always experienced just the opposite effect -- sedation -- when I
experimented with green juices in the past. Possibly related to the high
calcium content.
