   Western medicine notes that fruit juices include sugars, of which   
   glucose is the only usable energy molecule to the brain. One of the   
   reasons why muscle tissue starts breaking down during a fast is that the   
   body *has* to create new glucose from other ingredients, in order to   
   keep the brain working. Drinking sweet juices may be Ann's saving grace   
   here.
