I've been drinking fresh beetroot juice (mixed with other juices) for a while - and have even been growing it in the garden for that very purpose - and feel better for it

I don't have a power meter though so can't give any useful stats (which perhaps makes my comments as conclusive as that survey based on 8 people!)

It seems to be excellent for hangovers too :)

Certainly not a fallacy - it does have a rich pink tinge to it and that can sometimes last all day :lol:

I'm going to do a test

Later this week I will cycle to work (about 10 miles) after having consumed some beetroot juice

The following day I will cycle to work after having consumed a cup of tea

And then I will report back
