If you're prone to having swollen ankles, hands, & puffy eye lids, due to an over indulgence in salty items, you might want to stick to the small cans of these juices. Or if you're on a low salt diet, due to high blood pressure, you might want to look for the low sodium versions, or make your own.

I have even took a can of tomato paste and add water like you would frozen juice. Taste great. kddid RE: Inexpensive Low Calorie Snack or Lunch Post by susanmajp (308) | (09/11/2006) Contact Tomato juice stables blood sugar. I always carry a small can or two of tomato or V8 juice in my car for those times when I miss a meal and am feeling funny. When I'm at school, I keep a small can in my purse to drink between classes. It really seems to keep me going.
