(More customer reviews)I've been enjoying carrot juice for years -- home made in my juicer and also another well-known brand sold in the produce department, which is also good. But recently I purchased Lakewood brand and was so disturbed by the taste that I thought the bottle of juice had somehow gone bad. Thinking it was an isolated incident, I didn't say anything about it when my boyfriend bought two more 32 oz. bottles to use in a recipe we planned to make this morning (a wonderful "pumpkin pie" smoothie made with carrot juice, sweet potato and dates). We were making a large quantity, to serve to friends, and it turned out these bottles of juice were terrible too, so we had to scrap the whole plan. There is a real "twangy" almost metallic taste, bordering on rotten carrots. I don't know if it's the pasteurization process or what, but this brand of carrot juice does *not* taste like carrot juice. I would hate for people to buy it and think they don't like carrot juice due to how this tastes. I don't know what their process is, but the end result is very icky. (Sorry, Lakewood -- I really don't like giving bad reviews! But this stuff is not good!)

Carrots contain more Carotene (Alpha & Beta) than any other fruit or vegetable. Beta Carotene is the helps the body produce vitamin A, which is important in strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy cell growth. Vitamin A is a potent antioxidant. It fights free radicals that are associated with causing membrane damage, DNA mutation and lipid (fat) oxidation which can lead to a variety of degenerative diseases. Studies have shown that Alpha Carotene may be as powerful as Beta Carotene in significantly inhibiting the processes that may lead to tumor growth. Additional benefits include: Boosting immunity, improving symptoms of HIV, cleansing the liver, reducing photosensitivity (to help protect the skin from sun damage), improving eye health, aids in healing minor cuts and wounds, helps fight anemia, and reduces the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. Please note that our fresh pressed pure carrot juice contains a small quantity (2%) of organic lemon juice and therefore will taste slightly more acidic than fresh carrot juice. The purpose of acidifying the product is to allow the juice to be bottled without the use of preservatives or excessive heat.
