Is V8 juice good for you or not? Cause I started drinking it and at first it didn't taste too good but now I think I'm addicted.

V8 is HIGH in sodium. Maybe your body is lacking sodium so that's why it taste so good?

Sure! Motor oil tastes great I prefer 10w-40 dino over the lighter synthetic stuff.
Keeps the insides nice and lubed up.

I enjoy V8.

I've always just assumed it was good for me.

Try stirring in crushed black pepper the next time you grab a glass.

I like V8... i'm not sure what the difference in sodium between that and Clamato is, but Clamato leaves me much more thirsty than V8.

v8+vodka+celery stick = yum

other than that i doubt it could be healthy...

V8 is nasty crap, that's for sure.
If your diet is not too high in sodium already, it's probably good for you due to all the veggies. Still wouldn't drink it.

Normal V8 is nasty, but I had the other flavours and they weren't as thick and gross

has a lot of salt, not that that is a bad thing

Problem is it is a bad thing.

only if you already have high blood pressure

otherwise it isn't , that is just a myth that salt causes high blood pressure

if your blood pressure is normal, you can eat salt all day long, drink another V8
