Is drinking pickle juice or olive juice unhealthy?

Question

Or is it good?

*Why?

Answer 1

No, because of all the brine (you don;t want too much salt in your diet)

Answer 2

Very salty but great with vodka (dirty martini) :)

olives of course

Answer 3

um its really salty...too much sodium

Answer 4

its very acidic and full of sodium. there arent many nutrients in it. altough, things such as vinegar taken in small amounts will help with things such as acid reflux.

Answer 5

My granny was convinced that a tablespoon of pickle juice in the morning kept her healthy.

She lived till 91 and didn't ever get a "dowager's hump", so one Tablespoon a day might just be good for you.

Answer 6

Drinking pickle juice is not good.

Answer 7

Unhealthy ?  I suppose so in quantity.  

It is after all just a concentrate of the solution the pickles and olives were processed in.  Initial logic would suggest that if it is the same as what the product was processed with, then why not use it or drink it ?  The key is the concentration levels of sulphates and sodium versus the absorbed levels in the product themselves.
