"health" Juices- Which Are Safe?

Had a question for everyone. Have you heard of Evolution Fresh? Those juices that Starbucks has started selling, instead of naked juice? I was wondering if anyone has had any reaction to them before, or has tried them with any success. I called the company today after being told at first by the starbucks employee that they were "all natural" so they were ALL gluten free. "but what about the w...heatgrass?" Well obviously not those.... wait what??? I just called the company and just so everyone knows, the company advised me not to drink any of their drinks without the certified gluten free notation on the bottle, as far as I have seen, this is exactly NONE of them. Funny, since when I only asked if they were gluten free, without asking specific questions to show that I knew what I was talking about, they stated that they were gluten free because they were "natural juices" AKA they are either lying through their teeth or have no idea what gluten is. But with a few more questions, on both times I called, the answer ended up being the same. DON'T DRINK IT if you have celiac!!!! I just wanted to share this with everyone, A) because I just quickly looked online before I bought one and was misdirected by the internet info, and  because I am just tired of being misled, especially since they seem to realize what they are doing. Sorry to be a downer :(  I am still interested in participating in the healthy juice craze thought, because let's face it, sometimes a complete meal, and cooking it yourself, can be a pain with this whole celiac lifestyle we lead...  Thank you for any feedback you may be able to offer me!

A Starbucks employee probably wouldn't know about a packaged product they sell.  So I would go with the ingredients on the bottle and wheatgrass says no to me.  I realize the grass part doesn't have gluten but it seems too likely to me that there could be a few seeds (containing gluten) in there.

 

 

I just looked at the website.  I looked at a few and didn't see any with wheatgrass.

Hmm... I have had Evolution three days in a row. Twice the Orang juice and Once the Pinapple-Mango combo. All three times I had small* bout of intolerance flaring up.

Note: I did not try their green veggie products which contain "wheatgrass".

*reaction lasted about 45-90 minutes each time.

I don't believe they would intentionally lie through their teeth about any product they offer.  And, I wouldn't count on any barista knowing about the ingredients either.  Starbucks policy is for the consumer to make those decisions on their own, and they will gladly let you read the labels.  That's not being mislead; it's putting the responsibility on the consumer to make a choice whether to drink it or not.

Ok guys!  

The original post was 3 years ago!  Ingredients, manufacturing methods,  labeling, etc.  may have changed during that time.  A lot of companies have really come a long way on gluten-free in the last 3-4 years.

I know it is sometimes difficult to find up to date information. I just tested the Evolution Fresh Organic Smooth Greens juice with my Nima Sensor and it registered as no gluten found.

Side note to this topic, it's not difficult to make your own juices at home. You can get a Nutribullet for very little money. Mine is four years old and still going strong almost on a daily basis.

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
