Youth Juice is cheaper than buying the berries yourself.

So I've changed so much that having previously spent most of my spare time on the computer, I am now out doing things all the time and barely have time to get on here!

So the biggest subject I find in people objecting to using Youth Juice, after noting how much I've changed and become so relaxed and energetic, is the price. And then they will note how many raspberries or strawberries they've consumed in the past day. I've decided breaking down and comparing the cost would be a good thing.

A bottle of Youth Juice contains seven pounds of berries and sea vegetables all pulped together. There is no water added.

40/7 = 5.71

So that's $5.71 per pound of seven different berries and three sea vegetables. Cost per ounce: $1.50.
Elderberry
Red Raspberry
Blueberry
Blackberry
Boysenberry 
Blackcurrant 
Cranberry
Kombu Fucoidan
Bladderwrack
Sea Lettuce
So if I took the above list and went to the local grocery store to pick up all these items, what are the odds of finding all of them fresh and all in one place? Where is it possible to go pick up a fresh batch of Kombu Fucoidan in Alberta?

Ok, let's go shopping anyways and see what we find:
Say I pick up a container of raspberries at $3.99 (rare, but can be found sometimes), and then get a container of blueberries, always they tend to be more expensive, so say $7.99 but will last for two days so $4 for that one day, and found some blackberries at $5. That's about $14 for just those three berries for one day. Pulp those puppies up and you've got your ounce or two of three berries only. Then say I went to find cranberries but all there was available was the dried ones (usually the case too) and those were coming in at $6 for a large bag that will last a month. Ok, got a deal there, but they aren't fresh and I'd be spending some time chewing on those. Fresh seaweed no where to be found. Neither with elderberries, boisen or blackcurrent. So I'm missing out on some major providers of purple and blue antioxidants. Also no anti-inflammatory sea veggies. So little for about $14 a day.

And yes, going out and picking the berries is way cheaper than store bought, and organic to boot, but you have to drive there and spend your time (assuming your time = $$) picking them yourself. About an hour or so to do so?

Break it down on an average daily cost:

Go buy the berries yourself: approx. $14.50
One ounce shot of Youth Juice:        $  1.50
Two ounce shot of Youth Juice:       $   3.00

Uh, I'll take the Youth Juice. Way cheaper in the long run, way less time consumer to gather and eat, it's organice, and it's 100% CANADIAN!!!!!

Considering the mental and physical benefits from YJ, why people would choose not to enhance, improve, and completely change their lives, I just don't have an answer for that.
