If only cranberry juice wasn't so fattening - it is so good! And good for you. I can't believe you don't like it! I guess you just don't like cranberries at all then (no cranberry sauce for you) ?

>When I said 'pure' cherry juice, I guess that wasn't what I really meant. I've seen cherry juice here, but it's always adulterated with some other juice. Kind of like strawberry. I've never seen strawberry juice, only apple/strawberry, cranberry/apple/strawberry etc. Same with cherry. What I meant was cherry juice all on it's own.

>It's hard enough these days just to find any juice here that isn't tainted with cranberries (which I can't stand). Ontario is one of the cranberry capitols of the world, and it seems everything is condemned to be defiled with cranberry juice. Sometimes I wonder if it's a law.

>>Cherry juice is pretty common now. The problem is finding pure cherry juice and not one with added sugar or mixed with another fruit. It's so tart plain that it probably doesn't sell well. There are many companies who manufacture it. For awhile it was touted as relieving arthritis and gout pain and the FDA slammed companies for making such an unsubstantiated claim:

For real stuff, you drink mineral water (or soda+wine, aka špricer - spritzer), or real fruit juice. It even isn't real sugar anymore.

Didn't try it, it's too damn expensive (something like $7 a quart, or even steeper - one of those bottles where you can't really judge the volume, is it a trick of light or just your eyes cheating on you), but it's a start.

>>>Fruit juice, on the other hand, yes. I've not yet seen blueberry juice. I'd like to try it. Pomegranate juice seems to be becoming popular. Another one I'd like to see that I haven't yet is pure cherry juice. I can't imaging that it's not sold somewhere, but I've never seen it anywhere in Toronto.
