181. Combat High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol with Soybeans By Nicholas Webb

     You can spot a juicer a mile off at the supermarket or greengrocer.

Actually, I don't buy a lot of carrots and apples any more, because (other than my indiscretion with a packet of shortbread this week) I've radically reduced the amount of sugar I take in. My juice of choice is a vegetable one, a green one - but …
