Carrots are naturally sweet and rich in a ton of vitamins and minerals. So, getting a concentrated dose of carrots by juicing them can only be good for you, right? While carrot juice has benefits, it's not necessarily the best way to get those healthy nutrients from carrots, dietitians say. And even veggie-based juice can contain a lot of natural sugar and beta-carotene, so it's worth keeping an eye on how much you're drinking.
But you 'lose some of the fiber in the juicing process,' Gentile explains. When you juice carrots, the pulp that's left behind contains much of the fiber in the carrots, Rizzo says. 'So you're not getting as much fiber as you probably would by eating a carrot.' The other issue is that megadose of vitamin A, Gentile say.
