>>>>>>>>> I also have both VitaMix & Champion machines. Juice from

Champion spikes my blood glucose levels. Slurping the fruits or

veggies from the VitaMix do not spike my blood sugar levels. Takes

getting used to. I call by drinks affectionately " fruit goop " and

" veggie sludge " . Use of ice cubes or some frozen berries keeps the

mixture quite cold during the juicing process. And clean-up is

practically instantaneous! Just turn it on with water & some

dishwasher soap & whirrr it clean in under a minute. hen a quick

rinse under the water faucet & let dry.

I have Vita Mix and several juice Doctor types from Garage Sales. They are

hard to clean and I abhor throwing away all that fiber so I don't use them

much. I do not have a blood sugar meter.

 

Now Dr. Mercola is suggesting the Omega: A very low speed juicer at about

$250.

 

Any comments?

Maybe I am mis-reading you here, Lorenzo, but it appears you

are saying the VitaMix is hard to clean & throws away fiber. The

exact opposite is true of the VitaMix.

I use a VitaMix to mush up my wheatgrass and veggies, then I use a

Norwalk machine to press out the juice from the pulp. I end up with

bone-dry pulp that I put in the compost bin, and juice that

isn't " goopy " . I'm not concerned about throwing out the fiber because

I believe the " masticator " type of machine breaks up the fibers

pretty good. Anyway, that's how I like my juice. I also have a

Juiceman that I like, it's a little bit of a pain to clean but it

really only takes a few minutes. I got a small brush to use on the

screen part so it goes quickly.

 

Plus I use the Vitamix to grind corn for polenta, wheat for bread (it

kneads it too) and other things.
