I looked up juicing beets tonight, just because I wanted to know if I should juice the leafy part, or just the root. I was shocked to learn that drinking straight beet juice is actually quite dangerous. It purges the body of toxins so quickly and efficiently that the liver can have a hard time keeping up,. It can also cause temporary paralysis of the vocal cords. :shocked: Now that is some powerful juice. I still had some, but only half of a beet instead of a full one, and it was mixed with spinach, celery, cucumber, green beans, and apple.
And yes, you juice the greens too.
