Back when I was trying to get pregnant I read somewhere to supplement with fruit juice, every day! So, I did. I’m now convinced that the extra shot of sugar was a major factor in keeping me from being able to get pregnant for so long.

Also, the fructose in fruit juice is converted to fat in the liver. I’ve read that even though fructose is metabolized differently than sucrose and glucose (by the liver), it can lead to insulin resistance and lowered fertility.

I think that vegetable juices are fine.

But fresh-pressed juice is HEAVENLY. My sister & her husband recently got a fancy juicer for free and several of us got together to have a “juice party”. We had a table of kale, red & green apples, carrots, tangerines, grapefruit, kiwi, tomatoes, grapes, mango, and cucumber. We would make one kind and all have a sample and the flavors were all so intense and delicious – after a while I swear I felt intoxicated from the goodness!

I’m not going to get a juicer, though – it’s definitely better to eat the whole fruit or vegetable. But I will never turn down fresh-pressed juice if it’s available!
