Not directly, unless: Unless you are a diabetic. Most juices available in the market are very high in sugar.

Question 10

i have a systemic yeast infection and i was wondering what drinks i can drink? foods?

Accepted Answer

What?: What is a systemic yeast infection?  Are you talking about those books from the 1970s saying "yeast" was the cause of every symptom imaginable?  The majority of well done studies have ruled out that theory of causation.  Is there another syndrome you're talking about.
