I am having trouble finding a fruit juice to drink. I'd like to have juice because fruit availability, quality fruit anyway, is just about non-existent where I am. Most fruits that are juiced are high histamine. Including orange juice, which I causes me allergy problems. It was suggested to me that adding salt to OJ helps with the histamine, but I found it doesn't help enough.
White grape juice is ok for me, but the brand I like uses grapes from Argentina, said to be full of pesticides (the ones that kill bees, so bad on more than one level). Welch's uses U.S. grapes but tastes like rot to me, completely undrinkable. Those are my choices here. So no grape juice.
Cherry juice is very high histamine, and also high iodine.
Grapefruit juice is histamine safe, but I've just reviewed (again) the posts about grapefruit and grapefruit juice, and it is a bad idea due to (apparently) flavonoids, phytoestrogens, and the effects it has on the cytochrome P450 system.
So to my question: Leaving aside the issue of estrogens and CYP450, doesn't OJ contain the same flavonoids as grapefruit juice? If the flavonoids in OJ are different from those in grapefruit juice, which ones does OJ contain? The only one I know is that OJ does contain quercetin. ???
thanks for info, references, comments
