for quite some time now i've pondered the necessity of drinking grape juice... mostly because i don't like it...blech... i think i may have found an answer but doesn't really explain it completely to my satisfaction... so am asking other knowflakes - why grape juice as part of the steps? and why red? ( again, i'm pretty confident i know why red but would like to hear other opinions... )------------------

I'm not sure what grape juice does. But she didn't say it had to be red. She said that red tastes better and is for plumpies (color diet).IP: Logged |

Hey Emrites!I have been following Linda's recommendations on drinking grape juice, but I always stopped. It's too sweet for me. Anyway to tour point, why it is healthy for us? Lately, some years back the pioneers in the health movement have recommended us to drink red wine because of its resveratol. This component is released when grapes are crushed, which they are when red wine is produced,(and any kind of grape juice), but not so much as when white wine is produced, because white whine is produced from red grapes but without their shell. Resveratol is released when the shells of the grapes are crushed! Search on the internet what red wine does to your health and you get the answer. Grape juice does to us what red wine does to us, without killing brain cells and intoxicate our bodies. IP: Logged |

you're right Delos, but studies have never conclusively proven the health benefits associated with drinking red wine... not only but a number of other fruits provide the same... [q]Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and in other fruits. However, red wine contains very little of it, in the order of one milligram per glass...[/q]
got that from Wiki... and i'm with you on it being too sweet - i usually dilute it with water... Randall, i honestly thought she was referring to purple or red - mostly because of what Delos mentioned... the resveratrol... but as i noted before, other fruits also have this property... i recently came across something written by Manly Hall which solidified an earlier premise of mine but still doesn't completely explain the full "why" to me... [q]...gold is found to have a special affinity for certain plant orders,especially the grapes, sacred in antiquity as the highest of the fruits...[/q] so...why grapes?  ------------------

Maybe grape juice somehow stimulates cell regeneration? ------------------

i know that recently grape juice has been promoted as a good antioxidant - and i seem to recall that someone (maybe BiBiDeAngelo) posted something regarding grape seed and grape skin extract promoting cell regeneration so i think you're right about that Randall... but i think there's something else and i'm having a hard time getting to the heart of it... interesting, a tidbit of info i was not aware of came up while i was searching - apparently it was the grape vine that Noah*(edited...not really sure why i typed Moses...hhmm) takes on the ark... now, even if one doesn't necessarily believe in that story ( hope i have not offended anyone )it certainly signifies something...

i think Linda was doing what so many do - giving just enough information to start you off, the rest was up to you to figure out... i understand the reasoning behind it but can be more than frustrating today when so much "non" information is put into the world.... sigh... ------------------

that she did...
was thinking yesterday that perhaps am trying to make it more complicated than it really is... what if the reality is that grape vines were simply what grew in relative abundance - common crop so to speak...
then i found some rather fascinating bits of info...of particular interest the use of wine to dilute the highly alkaline water...
it gets better ( at least for me )
Wine was commonly associated with divinity, and was believed to have divine qualities. According to Plutarch, who quoted Eudoxus, Egyptians thought wine was:
“The blood of those who had once battled against the gods, and from whom, when they had fallen and had become commingled with the earth, they believed vines to have sprung .”
This relates to the ancient Egyptian myth of the “Destruction of Mankind” where the goddess Hathor was sent by her father, Re, to destroy a group of conspirators, and when she became addicted to blood, and could not be stopped from bloodshed, she was tricked into drinking a red coloured drink instead of blood , often believed to have been red wine. ------------------

I normally sip grape juice, but I was really thirsty a few days ago, and I had chilled the glass bottle in the freezer, and it was soooooo good that I gulped it down.------------------

I don't drink it every day, but it's my fave thing to buy when I'm thirsty. I put it in the freezer and get the top slushy.------------------

which leads me to another question - blended juices... i have a particular brand i like (Oasis) which has a really really yummy mixed berry and pomogranite juice but it's blended with "filler" juices (grape and apple)... is it possible that the inclusion of other elements into the grape juice negates it's effect somewhat? just how much of this is purely ritual symbolism?i did find a grape juice i like better - Paul Newmans... still dilute it but not as much... ------------------

I think somehow the cells use something in the grape juice, so there is a health benefit more than ritual, but I also don't feel it's required. The key to living forever is in the liver (which completely regenerates perfectly if not abused). ------------------

It's fattening for some reason. Been wanting to lose 10 pounds like forever, but once I stopped grape juice for a bit, five melted off.------------------
