Meng Yao Self insert thing
It was embarrassing how long it took him to realize he had been reborn. In his defense Being a baby was disorienting. He didn’t have coordination of his limbs. Everything was blurry. People talked, but he couldn’t understand what they were saying. It was pure gibberish. When he ate it was warm liquid. In all honesty he thought he had a stroke. One so bad he couldn’t even be trusted to swallow solid food anymore. Ah. Having a stroke at 26 was truly some bad luck… His life over like that. If at night he let out a few silent tears that was no one’s business, but his own.
Eventually, things got better. He began picking out words in what his caretakers were saying. Giving him hope that his language center hadn’t been completely destroyed, merely scrambled. His vision improved too. The world got clearer and clearer until something else became clear to him that should have been patently self-evident had he not been a moping snot.
These people. His caretakers. They were huge.
One of their hands spanned the length of his torso. His head could be completely covered by their palms. Strong too. They often moved him by resting him in the crook of their arm like he was a loaf of bread. Either he had stumbled upon a secret society of giantesses who wanted to assume for the care of the world’s youngest stroke victim or he was a fucking baby.
The messed up thing was he didn’t remember dying.
One second he was unlocking his car, the next here. Whatever the cause was, he had a new lease on life. A second chance. He couldn’t waste it.
He stopped moping and started learning.
The language proved easier to master than he expected. Benefits of an adult’s focus with the malleability of an infant’s brain.
The biggest change he noticed was the lack of technology. Nobody carried a phone, or ever sat down to watch tv. The clothing they wore was reminiscent of ancient China, if a bit more revealing. Had he traveled back in time? One would think that the cycle of reincarnation could only go one way.
His caretakers were actually his ‘aunts.’ It was doubtful that any of them were actually biologically related since their appearances were so diverse. He seemed to be being raised in a communal environment with the kids being passed off to whatever aunt was available. He learned a few of their names. Liang Zhu, Wu Yueji, etc. His mother was Meng Shi. He was fairly certain. She was the only woman who held him so close and kissed his face. Sometimes she’d gaze down at him in soft wonder. Holding his chubby fist in hers. It made him a touch uncomfortable.
Mama, you wouldn’t look like that if you knew what your son was.
She was beautiful. Cupid’s bow mouth. Long sooty eyelashes. Her glossy, black hair was pulled into a messy bun. When some other baby pulled on the stray strands that managed to escape she laughed, making the room brighter.
He hoped he took after her. He’d be devastatingly handsome.
His mother called him “A-Yao” which would make him Meng Yao. And if the gentleman callers that kept showing up were any indication his mama and his aunts were prostitutes.….
To summarize: his name was Meng Yao, born to a prostitute named Meng Shi in what appeared to be ancient china.
Haha. That sure was something.
Hopefully it was one of those funny coincidences, but if not all he had to do to avoid a disastrous end was not be evil. Don’t kill Nie Mingjue, frame Wei Wuxian, or marry his sister. He could live righteously and keep his head down.
It would be easy.
~!~
This was going to be harder than he thought, he mused to himself. Rolling the marbles his mother gifted him in his palms.
At age 4 he was given more leniency about his whereabouts so he was allowed to wander without adult supervision. Mostly he spent his time in the brothel. Filching the stray coin here and there from drunk men. Never an amount so high that it couldn’t be passed off for inebriated misplacement. He didn’t want to cause trouble for the women, particularly his mother. He kept the coins he gathered in a small silk sachet. His bank account used to turn his coworkers green with envy and now all of his worldly wealth amounted to pocket change. Ah. How far the mighty fall.
In his passings he’s heard a lot of noises of the sexual variety. Moaning, faker than any porno and the grunts of men. He’s become very familiar with the sounds of pleasurable lovemaking.
This was quite unlike that.
The man behind the door was hurting his mother.
She kept making this awful, guttural noise. Short and choked off. Like she couldn’t get enough air in her lungs to scream.
Sitting outside someone’s room while they participated in carnal activities was rude enough for a stranger let alone one’s own family, but he couldn’t force himself to move. Were Meng Yao a little older he would replace his marbles with burning coals straight from a fireplace and he would make the man swallow them.
He took a deep breath, sucking in ambient qi with air. Being a brothel most of the qi here was left by people. Perverse lusts, sadism, fear, anger, love— he felt it all as he funneled down into the very core of him. No core wasn’t the right word to use. It implied that the tiny warm knot blooming in his chest did something. It was useless. He couldn’t outrun adults with it— nor did it give him the strength to crush a man’s windpipe. The only change that could be attributed to it is his growing stamina, but that might be because he’s just growing bigger.
Exhaling, he released the excess qi that his… energy pocket failed to absorb. There wasn’t very much of it. He’s gotten better at condensing it down into himself. Before his energy pocket used to leak out qi like a sieve. Perhaps one day he’d be able to absorb it all in one go.
Courtesans walked past him with nary a glance letting him peel qi off of them with each step they took near him.
Nobody cared enough to do anything about his presence in the back rooms except for— ah. Liang Zhu. There she was now. Looking none too pleased.
“A-Yao,” She hissed. “Come away from there. You know the clients don’t like to see the results of their comings.”
Liang Zhu was an aging courtesan who was always kind to him so he did not follow his first impulse which was to chuck the marbles at her face and hope he hit an eye.
“He’s hurting her.”
She sighed, scooping him up and carrying him away. “And for whose sake does she allow it? Those cultivation manuals are expensive. That client pays well. There is no other way to be able to afford them.”
Fists almost tight enough to shatter glass, Meng Yao bowed his head. “I didn’t ask her to do that.”
“Ah, but you don’t need to, She’s your mother. Of course she’d do anything to secure your future. A-Yao you’re smart. You only needed one lesson to be potty trained and you were reading while other babies the same age were struggling to learn how to talk! Great things are ahead of you.”
Was that really all that impressive when he had an adult mind? His geniusness was greatly exaggerated. But he can’t complain since that’s why he was no longer minded by an adult anymore.
Liang Zhu patted him on the head. “If you want to repay your mother’s hard work. Study diligently and become a fine cultivator.”
She dropped Meng Yao in the room he shared with his mother, handing him a cultivation manual he already finished from the stack on the floor.
He bowed to her, “Alright I will. Thank you for your wisdom auntie.”
Laughing, she pinched his cheek. “So proper! The girls will line up for you with manners like that.”
Highly unlikely with his parentage, but he appreciated her optimism.
After she left, he waited until he could no longer hear her footsteps to place the book aside and went back to the client corridor. There he waited in the shadows for him to come out.
The man was tall and slim. His clothing was plain, but of a fine quality. Too fine for him to be a rogue cultivator. He didn’t have any identifying features that would denote which clan he belonged to. Not too unusual. Not every sect was as cavalier about visiting whorehouses as Lanling Jin. He had a smile on his face and blood on his knuckles.
Meng Yao memorized him. The shape of his lips, the arc of his nose, the slope of his forehead.
One day, when he was stronger, he was going to kill this man.
He went back to their room, and picked up a book by random. He settled in and tried to look like he had been there for a while.
It took his mother a long time to come back. When she did she was freshly bathed. The scent of clean soap clinging to her. She had a limp and a ring of livid bruises around her neck. Face swollen around her split lip. Deliberately, he had to keep his hands relaxed lest he accidentally crush the pages of the manual she bought for him.
He wet his lips trying to think of something suitably comforting to say. I’m going to become the world’s strongest cultivator and outlaw sexual slavery? No. Too adult. Ridiculous too. It needed to be something more childish and more grounded in reality. Before he could find something, she rushed over to him and folded him up in her arms. It was too tight, but he didn’t complain. Just hugged her back as best as his stubby arms allowed.
“I love you,” she said, “I love you so much.” She repeated it 5 or 6 times. He never truly doubted that she did, but he’s surprised to find—
“I love you too, Mama.”
When did that happen, he wondered.
She dropped kisses onto the top of his head. Both of his cheeks and to his brow. Bestowing him with more affection in 20 seconds than his original mother managed in a lifetime.
“My son,” she murmured. Voice hoarse. “My precious, beautiful, perfect son.”
For some reason that made his eyes burn. “Mama. Today, I heard—are you okay?”
Mama pulled away, smoothing across his wrinkled forehead. “Every day I am with you is a day I am okay A-Yao. Now, why don’t you show Mama what you’ve been learning, hm?”
He didn’t want to move, but he could hardly refuse her. Meng Yao got up and entered the opening stance for the basic body conditioning technique. People called him smart, but really his mother was the smart one. She didn’t spend most of her time reading cultivation manuals and yet she had no trouble understanding what he was talking about. Sometimes she’d even point out mistakes he made. It made him wonder what her past was, but she never mentioned it and he never dared to ask. Fearing sore memories, but still. Wasn’t this like using a saber to pick your teeth? Mama, you could have been someone magnificent.
They stayed like that until it went dark out.
His exhausted mother fell asleep immediately. Meng Yao on the other hand stared up at the ceiling. Hands folded across his chest.
He kept thinking until he was older, but he didn’t have time to wait for puberty. People were hurting his mother now.
Attacking him outright was out of the question. That would only garner punishment from the Madam for both him and Meng Shi. He needed something subtler. Something that could pass by unnoticed in a world without forensic science. Poison ought to do it. Like the great empress of old, Wu Zetian, did to secure her position as ruler of China.
Now obviously no one is going to leave a guide to poisons out for small children to access. Nor would they sell one to him. No, if he wanted poisons he would have to do it the old fashioned way. Trial and error.
Human testing wouldn’t work out. People would call the cultivators as soon as they started getting sick. And it was unethical or something.
But Yuping city, like most cities, had an overabundance of stray dogs.
He liked to think that one day he could sit down with Wei Wuxian and tell him this story and it would make him smile. A protagonist approved plan. How could it be evil?
~!~
“Here doggy. Good boy.” Meng Yao cajoled. Tossing another bite of his poisoned rice over which got promptly snapped up by the starving stray.
Thus far his testing had been a total failure. He’s tried all of the plants he could find on the outskirts of the city in various quantities. The most it did was give one dog vomiting and diarrhea. He was looking for something a bit more permanent than that.
Now, he’s moved onto combinations of plants. It might be too much to hope for a palatable poison that could be made from vegetation readily found at the outskirts of a city, but he had to keep trying. The plant he had been most hopeful about, a spot of green untouched by the wildlife proved to be too bitter for consumption.
He was using scraps of his own lunch to conduct these experiments leaving him in a foul mood.
Growing little boys are hungry ones. Half of his food was going to the dogs.
He had one last bite of rice left. Better make it count. Meng Yao pulled a container out of his pocket. It was a face whitening cream that he snatched from the obnoxious prostitute An Xi. If she didn’t want her things to go missing she should reconsider her habits of stealing his things.
He put a dab of the whitener into the middle of the rice. Folding the edges over until the whitener was covered. He’s learned the hard way that dogs were disinclined to eat disgusting items.
Who knew?
Most face whitening creams of this era contained lead. This was a method of last resort. Lead took a long time to accumulate in the body enough to start doing damage. He wanted that man dead now.
Speaking of heavy metals…weren't they often used in dyes back then? Arsenic, mercury, cadmium. Ah. If he was going to go the slow route he may as well collect them all. People who hurt women can never suffer enough.
Dusting his hands off, he straightened up. Later, he’d have to see if any of the dogs were stumbling. Indicating neurotoxicity. If he was really lucky some of them wouldn’t come back at all.
He ducked under the loose plank of wood giving him access to the alley and nearly suffered a heart attack. His Mama was here. Watching him with her arms crossed.
“Mama, I thought you were working.”
She smiled. “Mm. I asked Liang Zhu to tell you that. The Madam gave me time off.”
Shit. And she used that time off to spy on him instead of resting? She was onto him. Absurdly, instead of running his fingers trembled. He wanted to beg his Mama not to hate him. He was doing it for her sake.
“A-Yao. No need to look so stricken. I’m not mad.”
“You’re not?” What the hell. His Mama was more hardcore than he would have guessed. They could go in on it together. She could help him acquire ingredients that he couldn’t obtain on his own.
She patted his head. Gaze soft.
“My wonderful son is so compassionate. Feeding strays no one wants. Here I thought my son was mixed up with some trouble, but he was practicing admirable virtues. I’m truly blessed.
“En,” he said dully, “It is so sad to see them suffer.”
Mama pulled something out of her sleeve.
“I thought kindness deserves a reward, so here. First peach of the season.” The fruit was placed into his hands.
It’s almost the size of his face. Golden skinned, and plump. Its sweet ripeness filled his nose. This is the first fruit he’s held in this life.
Swallowing back saliva, he looked up to his Mama. “Are you sure you want me to have it? These are expensive. You must have worked hard for it.”
“I bought it for you didn’t I? Don’t sound like such an old man. Always worrying about money. That’s Mama’s job.”
In that case he was going to eat every bit of it. Down to the pit.
Wait a minute. The pit. Stone fruits contain cyanide, don’t they? This fruit was worth its weight in gold.
He held the peach out to her. “I’m not that hungry. Let’s split it in half.”
“You’re not? But you’ve been giving these animals half of your meal.”
Face stone cold. His eyebrows didn’t twitch as he denied it. “Not hungry.”
“Alright then.” She took the peach back from him. Deftly splitting it in two with a short knife she apparently had up her sleeve too?! Mama was packing the heat. “What a filial son I have.”
He made sure to take the face that contained the pit in it. Heart hammering in his chest. Certain she was about to ask why. But she didn’t. Taking dainty bites of her side.
He bit into the peach. Juice ran down his chin as he chewed. It was the best thing he had eaten in this life thus far. Sweeter even than the peaches he used to buy from the grocery store.
It tasted like victory.

Can a dog eat cherry fruit? The most dangerous thing about cherries is that their grooves, stems, and leaves all have chemicals that are harmful and could kill you if you eat enough of them. Moreover, cherry pits can get forced to stick in a dog's intestines and make it unable to pass waste.
Your dog has eaten a Cherry Pit?
Be calm if your dog consumes cherry pits or cherries that have already been pitted. Cherry pits don't contain nearly as much toxicity as peach and apricot seeds.
If you notice any signs of overdose in your dog after eating a lot of cherry pits, you should immediately contact your veterinarian. The body's ability to transport oxygen to cells is disrupted by cyanide, and as a result, symptoms such as trouble breathing, bright red gums, and even death are possible.
What is the maximum a dog could eat?
The good news is that cherry or two, or even a tiny handful, won't hurt your dog too much. Don't get scared if they take some from the counter.
If dogs consume cherries, what will happen to them?
Within 24 hours of your dog ingesting the pit, typical indications of a bowel obstruction will begin to develop. Although, symptoms of cyanide poisoning in dogs might occur if they eat many entire cherries in one sitting. Moreover, there are some more significant symptoms, including:
Being sick and throwing up
Not enough to eat
Gums that are an odd shade of red
Overdoses
Disturbance
Precipitates
Symptoms
Constipation
Being sick and throwing up
What kind of cheery dogs can eat?
Since there are so many kinds of cherries, you may want to know which ones your dog can eat. Moreover, Your dog can eat the flesh of any cherry, from Bing to Rainier to Black. One thing is different. We don't think your dog should eat grand Marnier cherries.
Even though Maraschinos already have the pits taken out, they are usually soaked in a syrup or sugar solution. That is why they taste so good in cocktails and not a good choice for a dog to eat.
How can several cherries make dogs sick?
A cherry or two shouldn't do much harm. But it would help if you still watched for signs that your dog has been poisoned by cyanide. The chance of your dog getting sick increases the more fresh fruit they eat.
Can you kill a dog with how many cherries?
The number of cherries required to kill a dog may surprise you. A solution to this question is challenging because it depends on many variables. A few, there are body mass index (BMI), genetic factors, and general well-being. Your dog is unlikely to be harmed by a few whole cherries. In any case, the story's lesson is to avoid taking unnecessary risks.
Conclusion
The sugar content in cherries and other cherry products is high. Although these fruits are tasty and contain valuable vitamins for humans and other animals, they should never be given to dogs. Even if your dog eats a fresh cherry, much sugar in his diet might cause him to gain weight and increase his chance of developing diabetes.
Pet owners should be aware that instead of feeding their dogs human food, they should choose dog treats. Unlike some other foods, these won't cause your dog as much harm, and they will still be able to enjoy them.

Vitamin B-17
Nutrient B17 is likewise called laetrile (fake or man-made structure) or Amygdalin (common structure). It is a glycoside, which implies that it ties to different supplements through sugar. It has been advanced as an elective treatment for the disease; however, there is no logical proof of its adequacy.
Vitamin B17 is a misnomer since this isn't really a nutrient. Laetrile is a halfway man-made type of a characteristic substance called Amygdalin. This substance is available in crude nuts and in the pips of numerous natural products, for example, in apricot pips or portions.
Sustenances containing Vitamin B17:
The nourishment wellsprings of Vitamin B17 are generally severe in taste. The most regularly utilized sources to extricate Vitamin B17 are apricot parts and severe almonds. Different wellsprings of Vitamin B17 are as per the following:
Seeds: Many seeds and parts of various organic products contain this nutrient in huge amounts, particularly apricot bits and seeds. Different seeds that are wealthy in this nutrient are plum seeds, pear seeds, and apple seeds. The little seeds of berries, strawberries, raspberries, and grapes additionally have this nutrient. It is likewise present in buckwheat seeds, millet seeds, flax seeds, and squash seeds in satisfactory sums.
Berries: In berries like raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and wild berries, Vitamin B17 can be found in very bottomless sums.
Nuts: Bitter almonds are known to be a decent wellspring of Vitamin B12. Different nuts like macadamia nuts and cashew nuts additionally contain this nutrient.
Grains and millets: Barley, buckwheat, millets, and sorghum can be devoured to get the sustenance of this nutrient.
Eucalyptus leaves: These leaves contain Vitamin B17 in moderate sums. Spinach leaves are said to have hints of it too.
Sprouts: Bamboo sprouts or bamboo shoots contain a high measure of this nutrient. Different sprouts which have Vitamin B17 are hay grows, mung sprouts, and fava beans. Moderate measures of it are likewise found in entire green gram grows.
Different wellsprings of sustenances which contain Vitamin B17 are beet tops, cranberries, darker rice, margarine beans, lima beans, lentils, wheatgrass, and so on.
Malignant growth and Vitamin B17:
Nutrient B17 is picking up consideration for its malignant growth battling capacities. Despite the fact that there is no proof that it can help patients experiencing malignant growth, a few people still use it since they accept that it may improve their wellbeing, vitality levels, and prosperity that it may detoxify and rinse their body and furthermore, may assist them with living longer. The utilization of enhancements was prohibited by the FDA during the 1980s in nations, for example, the USA, however some restorative professionals still believe it to be an elective treatment for malignant growth, disregarding the way that there is no clinical proof supporting this case.
Different types of Vitamin B17 supplements:
Nutrient B17 is normally accessible in different nourishment sources in the structure Amygdalin. The fake or man-made type of Vitamin B17 is called laetrile. It is accessible as:
· Tablets
· Skin moisturizers
· Intravenous infusions
· A fluid to be placed into the rectum
Devouring Vitamin B17 as a tablet bring about increasingly symptoms contrasted with when it is taken in an injectables structure since danger happens because of cyanide harming. This is because of the way that the nutrient ate is separated by stomach related microscopic organisms present in the body and by the catalysts present in the nourishment. Cyanide is discharged as a breakdown item and this, thusly, might bring about danger.
Is Vitamin B17 safe?
Numerous examinations have discovered that Vitamin B17 is alright for utilization by people. In any case, more data is as yet required with regards to deciding its best portion, the lethal responses that are conceivable to emerge from its utilization and furthermore the long haul symptoms when high dosages of it are devoured. It is more secure to devour Vitamin B17 from its normal sustenance sources instead of taking high dosages of its enhancements. Sustenance sources give littler measures of Vitamin B17; however, it is less dangerous when contrasted with taking enhancements of this nutrient.
Advantages of Vitamin B17:
The way that Vitamin B17 picked up its significance because of its capacity to battle malignant growth can't be denied. In spite of the fact that there is no logical confirmation that demonstrates it very well may be utilized as an option in contrast to battling malignancy. Be that as it may, ponders on Vitamin B17 may have helped the researchers to recognize a portion of different advantages of the Vitamin. A portion of these advantages are:
Nutrient B17 can help invulnerability: It contains extraordinary properties that empower it to hinder the spread of the ailment all through the body and this is finished by executing destructive cells. The careful way that it does this isn't known.
Nutrient B17 can decrease torment: Pain alleviation was one of the advantages revealed by an examination directed in 1962. It isn't yet settled whether the agony mitigating properties of Vitamin B17 proceed in the long haul after the treatment is halted. It is likewise hard to discern whether it could go about as a characteristic torment reliever for other conditions like joint inflammation.
Nutrient B17 helps in bringing down hypertension: Vitamin B17 may diminish the pulse due to the arrangement of a synthetic called thiocyanate, which a circulatory strain is bringing down an operator that is ground-breaking in nature. Once more, it isn't known whether the pulse bringing down impacts are long haul or simply transitory.
Cancer prevention agent: Some specialists have the feeling that Vitamin B17 can connect with other incredible cell reinforcements, for example, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E so as to separate and dispense with dangerous cells from the body which aids in the characteristic detox process and thus, may advance the general wellbeing.
Reactions of Vitamin B17 (Laetrile):
Nutrient B17 contains cyanide, which is harmful. Along these lines, the reactions of this nutrient are equivalent to those brought about by cyanide. They are an infection, cerebral pains, wooziness, fever, harm to the liver, hanging eyelids, drop-in circulatory strain, absence of supply of oxygen to the tissues, nerve harm that causes loss of parity and trouble in strolling, further harm to the liver (when liver issues are now present), perplexity, unconsciousness and it may prompt passing also.
It is imperative to take note of that while taking Vitamin B17 tablets, eating sustenances that contain this nutrient is to stay away from.
It may be prescribed to not utilize Vitamin B17 supplements as an elective treatment for disease because of its various reactions. It is additionally not demonstrated deductively that Vitamin B17 (laetrile) has anti-cancer properties. The utilization of moderate measures of common wellsprings of Vitamin B17 can be valuable for generally speaking wellbeing. It is prudent to counsel a specialist so as to make the correct choice.
With regards to malignancy, there is an enormous measure of cash being siphoned in by governments, NGOs and private natives to discover progressively solid and more secure medicines. On the off chance that a lab finds a sheltered, symptom-free approach to fix malignant growth, it will be tried by different foundations to check whether it works. In the event that it does, the researchers who find it will get Nobel prizes, huge amounts of award cash, patent income and the deference of the whole academic network and a huge number of malignancy patients around the world. No association is fit for quieting a huge number of individuals or keeping privileged insights for a considerable length of time at once.
Indeed, even with the present treatment systems, because of the logical commitments of all the malignant growth analysts and oncologists to date, the disease is never again capital punishment it used to be. There are a great many malignancy survivors living full, solid lives today. They are a demonstration of the way that malignancy medicines are now being utilized and being made increasingly viable as time passes.
In the event that you or somebody you care about has the disease, there's no should be frightened for your life or to begin eating crude almonds, apple seeds or peach pits. Present-day prescription works ponder, without the requirement for choices.
Furthermore, on the off chance that you don't have malignant growth, get screened all the time. That is the best method to get creating malignant growth before it develops wildly. Additionally, eat well, and eat steadily. The more grounded your body is, the better it can battle malignancies and contaminations. Vitamin B17 is also used as an alternative treatment for cancer

How to know juicing are safe?
As fresh juicing and smoothies becomes more popular, it’s important to know that there are a few minor risks. I stress that these are VERY minor, and nothing that should discourage anyone from juicing or smoothies with all the amazing benefits including better health, more energy, a delicious alternative to sugary drinks especially for your children, and my favorite, the most convenient way to consume all the recommended daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, a fresh juice or smoothie is just about the healthiest thing you can do for yourself, your family, and your friends! So let’s be aware of these concerns, but keep a healthy perspective!
Food Borne Illness
The CDC reports that produce is the leading cause of food poisoning in the US (although more hospitalizations are due to dairy products and more deaths are attributed to poultry). Produce with the greatest risk are melons (the rough skin traps bacteria and gets carried to the flesh when cut) and packaged pre-cut leafy greens.
The CDC and FDA recommend rinsing your produce in cold water, don’t buy pre-cut veggies and fruits, and grow your own sprouts. Washing with soap is not recommended. For easy guidelines see this article by the University of Maine.
Related Articles : https://www.juicingpoint.com/
Add a little vinegar for additional protection. A study published in the “Journal of Food Protection” found that washing apples with vinegar and water reduced bacteria significantly better than water alone. The premier food magazine, “Cook's Illustrated,” sponsored a similar experiment and found that vinegar killed approximately 98% of bacteria on the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables. No soaking required! And no vinegar taste! Just spray white vinegar on your produce and rinse.
But let’s put this in perspective I know folks who rarely rinse their produce and have never had a problem. I’m one of them! However, if you’re pregnant, or you're making juices or smoothies for your children – both have a greater risk of infection and illness - I’d surely rinse all produce. And every time I read something about the working conditions of huge farms that grow and harvest commercial foods, I start rinsing all my produce! Unlike packaged beverages which undergo pasteurization to eradicate harmful organisms, fresh juice can only be made less risky by rinsing your produce. Also, storing fresh juice makes it more vulnerable to bacteria so it’s best to drink it right away.
Toxic Substances
Some seeds, rind, and leaves of common fruits and vegetables should not be eaten! This will likely surprise you as much as it did me! The seeds of apples, peaches, apricots, cherries, and raspberries, as well as the leaves of carrots, rhubarb, parsnip, and Queen Anne’s Lace (wild carrot) contain toxic compounds, but the amounts are so minute as to be of no real concern.
The major compound is known as amygdalin which produces cyanide, but the amount is so small that your body easily neutralizes it. There are claims that amygdalin has positive uses including cancer treatment. The American Cancer Society reviews this claim in a thorough and balanced article, and for an alternative view click here. The bottom line is that you would have to eat handfuls of these seeds or pits AND DIGEST THEM to experience serious illness. The seeds and pits have a tough coating impervious to digestion by most mammals. Symptoms of amygdalin toxicity are severe stomach cramps, headache, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and seizures. However, if too many seeds were eaten and digested, one would likely vomit a few times and not develop any other symptoms.
The rind of orange and grapefruit has a small amount of a toxic compound now used as an insecticide. Ingesting a small amount is absolutely safe for you and your pets, but several orange peels will definitely upset the stomach.
There is also mention of toxic substances in some sprouts. This is another one of those pieces of info that's interesting but of no real health concern. In the interest of awareness here's a brief review of toxins in sprouts. Lathyrogen is found in an inedible species of bean in the genus Lathyrus. Inedible so not a concern. Saponins are found in bean sprouts and are not harmful, though some claim this is so because outside of the body in test tube conditions saponins kill red blood cells. They are not only harmless in the body but extremely beneficial for lowering cholesterol, protecting against heart disease, and fighting certain cancers. Canavanine is a toxic compound found in alfalfa seeds. However, as with the toxin in apple seeds, it is so minute as not to be an issue. An adult would have to consume 14,000 milligrams of canavanine at one time to feel any toxic effects. A large helping of alfalfa sprouts gives you a few milligrams. For more about these compounds in sprouts go to this link.
Digestive Issues
A while we’re on the subject of stomach upset, certain fruits and veggies are so powerful that you may experience some stomach distress if you drink too much of them. Too many leafy greens or wheatgrass can do this. For others, too much beet will do the same.
For those with sensitive digestion, mixing raw fruits and veggies can do this. I mix them every day with no ill effect. Standard nutritional rules state that in generally fruits and veggies should be eaten separately, though certain fruits go well with certain vegetables. In fact certain mixes are highly recommended for juice fasting and dieting, and for fighting diseases. The most common ‘ill effect’ of mixing fruits and veggies is gas, because fruit digests faster and uses different digestive enzymes. Carrots and apples are considered exceptions – carrots go well with any fruit and apples go well with any veggie.
Nutritional Deficiency
This is a concern only for those who limit themselves to juice or smoothies alone for long periods, especially if you’re pregnant, a young person still growing, and women in and past menopause. You can get all necessary nutrients from fruits and vegetables, but special attention needs to be paid to nutritional requirements during long juice fasts and diets. The nutrients which need special attention are iron, protein, calcium, B12, zinc, and Omega 3 fatty acids. These are critical nutrients that are difficult but not impossible to get from a vegetarian, vegan, or all-juice diet.

Some important tips about juicing smoothie
As fresh juicing and smoothies becomes more popular, it’s important to know that there are a few minor risks. I stress that these are VERY minor, and nothing that should discourage anyone from juicing or smoothies with all the amazing benefits including better health, more energy, a delicious alternative to sugary drinks especially for your children, and my favorite, the most convenient way to consume all the recommended daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, a fresh juice or smoothie is just about the healthiest thing you can do for yourself, your family, and your friends! So let’s be aware of these concerns, but keep a healthy perspective!
What Juice Can I Drink If I Have Diabetes
https://www.juicingpoint.com/what-juice-can-i-drink-if-i-have-diabetes-7-diabetic-juice-recipes-included
Food Borne Illness
The CDC reports that produce is the leading cause of food poisoning in the US (although more hospitalizations are due to dairy products and more deaths are attributed to poultry). Produce with the greatest risk are melons (the rough skin traps bacteria and gets carried to the flesh when cut) and packaged pre-cut leafy greens.
The CDC and FDA recommend rinsing your produce in cold water, don’t buy pre-cut veggies and fruits, and grow your own sprouts. Washing with soap is not recommended. For easy guidelines see this article by the University of Maine.
Add a little vinegar for additional protection. A study published in the “Journal of Food Protection” found that washing apples with vinegar and water reduced bacteria significantly better than water alone. The premier food magazine, “Cook's Illustrated,” sponsored a similar experiment and found that vinegar killed approximately 98% of bacteria on the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables. No soaking required! And no vinegar taste! Just spray white vinegar on your produce and rinse.
What Juice is Good for Gout
https://www.juicingpoint.com/what-juice-is-good-for-gout-answered-plus-how-to-have-it
But let’s put this in perspective I know folks who rarely rinse their produce and have never had a problem. I’m one of them! However, if you’re pregnant, or you're making juices or smoothies for your children – both have a greater risk of infection and illness - I’d surely rinse all produce. And every time I read something about the working conditions of huge farms that grow and harvest commercial foods, I start rinsing all my produce! Unlike packaged beverages which undergo pasteurization to eradicate harmful organisms, fresh juice can only be made less risky by rinsing your produce. Also, storing fresh juice makes it more vulnerable to bacteria so it’s best to drink it right away.
Toxic Substances
Some seeds, rind, and leaves of common fruits and vegetables should not be eaten! This will likely surprise you as much as it did me! The seeds of apples, peaches, apricots, cherries, and raspberries, as well as the leaves of carrots, rhubarb, parsnip, and Queen Anne’s Lace (wild carrot) contain toxic compounds, but the amounts are so minute as to be of no real concern.
The major compound is known as amygdalin which produces cyanide, but the amount is so small that your body easily neutralizes it. There are claims that amygdalin has positive uses including cancer treatment. The American Cancer Society reviews this claim in a thorough and balanced article, and for an alternative view click here. The bottom line is that you would have to eat handfuls of these seeds or pits AND DIGEST THEM to experience serious illness. The seeds and pits have a tough coating impervious to digestion by most mammals. Symptoms of amygdalin toxicity are severe stomach cramps, headache, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and seizures. However, if too many seeds were eaten and digested, one would likely vomit a few times and not develop any other symptoms.
Can You Mix Fruits and Vegetables When Juicing
https://www.juicingpoint.com/can-you-mix-fruits-and-vegetables-when-juicing
The rind of orange and grapefruit has a small amount of a toxic compound now used as an insecticide. Ingesting a small amount is absolutely safe for you and your pets, but several orange peels will definitely upset the stomach.
There is also mention of toxic substances in some sprouts. This is another one of those pieces of info that's interesting but of no real health concern. In the interest of awareness here's a brief review of toxins in sprouts. Lathyrogen is found in an inedible species of bean in the genus Lathyrus. Inedible so not a concern. Saponins are found in bean sprouts and are not harmful, though some claim this is so because outside of the body in test tube conditions saponins kill red blood cells. They are not only harmless in the body but extremely beneficial for lowering cholesterol, protecting against heart disease, and fighting certain cancers. Canavanine is a toxic compound found in alfalfa seeds. However, as with the toxin in apple seeds, it is so minute as not to be an issue. An adult would have to consume 14,000 milligrams of canavanine at one time to feel any toxic effects. A large helping of alfalfa sprouts gives you a few milligrams. For more about these compounds in sprouts go to this link.
Digestive Issues
A while we’re on the subject of stomach upset, certain fruits and veggies are so powerful that you may experience some stomach distress if you drink too much of them. Too many leafy greens or wheatgrass can do this. For others, too much beet will do the same.
For those with sensitive digestion, mixing raw fruits and veggies can do this. I mix them every day with no ill effect. Standard nutritional rules state that in generally fruits and veggies should be eaten separately, though certain fruits go well with certain vegetables. In fact certain mixes are highly recommended for juice fasting and dieting, and for fighting diseases. The most common ‘ill effect’ of mixing fruits and veggies is gas, because fruit digests faster and uses different digestive enzymes. Carrots and apples are considered exceptions – carrots go well with any fruit and apples go well with any veggie.
Nutritional Deficiency
This is a concern only for those who limit themselves to juice or smoothies alone for long periods, especially if you’re pregnant, a young person still growing, and women in and past menopause. You can get all necessary nutrients from fruits and vegetables, but special attention needs to be paid to nutritional requirements during long juice fasts and diets. The nutrients which need special attention are iron, protein, calcium, B12, zinc, and Omega 3 fatty acids. These are critical nutrients that are difficult but not impossible to get from a vegetarian, vegan, or all-juice diet.
Medical and Dental Issues
Grapefruit juice is contraindicated if you take certain medications. Talk to your physician or pharmacist if this is a concern.
If you have any thyroid issues, compounds in raw cruciferous vegetables can interfere with your treatment. Again talk with your physician because thyroid and other health problems can be effectively improved with certain fruits and vegetables. Cruciferous veggies include kale, broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, cauliflower, turnips, arugula, Brussels sprouts, radishes, collard greens, kohlrabi, rutabaga, and watercress.
Another medical concern is diabetes. The old rule of thumb is that anyone who is diabetic should stay away from fruit and sweet veggies such as carrots, beets, etc. Recent research has overturned this with the discovery that many fruits and veggies have compounds that actually help regulate sugar levels better than cooked food. This is exciting news for diabetics so talk to your physician right away!

Plus 1 More!
I've just added this sixth concern based on new information I've learned about sugar. And it's so shocking that when I rewrite this article, this concern will take over the top spot!
We as a culture over-consume so much sugar, whether from healthy raw organic fruit or from processed foods, and the effects are far worse than we know. So I am seriously advocating as does the leading proponent of raw foods, the Hippocrates Institute, that we eat less fruit and more vegetables. For a complete look at 4 eye-opening facts that the sugar industry doesn't want you to know
