(McDonald’s Study)
Researchers found that subjects who consumed Juice Plus+ were better able to
maintain the elasticity of arteries, even after a high-fat meal.
At BASELINE (before JP+): All participants started out at about the same level of vasoconstriction (40-50%) after consuming a high fat meal at McDonald’s.
3 groups: Placebo, JP+ Fruit/Veggies; JP+ Fruit/Veggies/Berries
After 4 weeks:
1.) JP+ F/V group experienced a 63% of blood flow.
2.) JP+ F/V/B group: restriction of blood flow was VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED!
This study resulted in a P-Value of .02. This means there is a 98% certainty that the results were caused by adding Juice Plus+. (The smaller the P-Value, the stronger the research.)
Conclusion: 4 weeks of daily supplementation with JP+ in healthy volunteers blunts the detrimental effects of a high-fat meal on artery vasodilation.
