Can turn your output red, yes? I know this is true but every time I look at my pouch I think AH BLOOD!!!

I would assume so!!!! I had beets the other day and holy crap, I thought I was bleeding to death until I remembered what I ate!!!

Whew!!!!!

It can definitely turn red: not only beets but red Gatorade can make the output bright red. I don't think that it matters, but it is certainly disconcerting! I try to avoid the red for that reason.

If you want to see a pretty green, try a McDonald's Shamrock shake !  I've have 2 this month and each one turned my output a nice light shade of green but they sure were tasty.

Things with purple and orange food coloring also turn it red! I thought I was dying after taking some purple cough medicine. I forgot blue and RED make purple,lol.
And things that are all blue or especially bright blue, turn it really greenish.

Yes, and if you are having a jpouch, that will continue to be the trend. Blue corn tortillas turn my output green, red comes out red. Pretty much anything with bright color will come out the same color as going in.
