Hell, as a DM I even lied about rolls with some frequency. Players rolled their own attacks for the excitement of it, but many of the various environmental checks and more bizzare actions taken by players were rolled behind a screen. (Along with many "fake" rolls to prevent metagaming.) Sometimes the lie was just more fun than the actual roll. :)

Consuming large volumes of juice (from any sugar-containing source, including most vegetables) is a great way to strain your pancreas. By emulsifying your beats and carrots, you make the sugars in them easily absorbed by the gut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

As an occasional meal, juicing is fine, but going on a long-term "juice diet" sounds like a disaster.

Extreme vitamin A deficiency can impair vision, but you would have a lot of other problems too. And anyone who eats meat already gets enough vitamin A. (On the up side, you cannot get vitamin A toxicity from carrots, and B-Carotene is selectively converted as needed. If you ate the liver of a carnivore you would become very sick from vitamin A overdose.)

Gluten is plant protein, not a poison. That's like calling your bones a poison because some animals can't eat them. Besides which, the vast majority of people have very good wheat tolerance. Gluten is just the new food boogeyman, like glutimate was in decades past. (If you were alergic to glutimate you would be dead.)
