Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I had tried several times to reply to you and this address keeps bouncing back, so I will try once again. Dear Barb, The purpose behind juicing is to make the most nutrient value available. Whether it is fruit or vegetables, you still only get 20 or so percent by chewing. Juicing releases roughly 60% in the juice. Add in the pulp and you get between 90-95% of all available nutrients. I don't do very much in fruit simply because of the sugar load regardless of whether I just eat it or juice it first. When I first started, I had no idea I would continue, let alone actually believe it would make a difference. I refused to spend money on something that in all likelihood would not be used beyond a week or so, so I went cheap and dirty with a Jack LaLanne juicer. Surprisingly, it does a pretty good job and I only put $80 into it with a 20% off coupon from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. If you do something such as the Breuss Juice fast, you will want a juicer rather than a juicing blender as the juice only is taken for 42 days. notify [notify ] On Behalf Of barb1283 Monday, January 02, 2006 12:40 PM Bruce Guilmette PhD Re: Juicing Hi Bruce, I went to your website. Thanks for the link. I have ovarian cancer so I can benefit from the info there, and I read the info on juicing you had there. You mentioned twin-gear models and that is what the Greenstar is. I want to do mainly leafy vegetables. I'd rather just eat fruit whole than have it juiced. I like the idea of a juicing blender. I might look up info on that. What kind of juicer do you use?

Does it use twin gear, or cut or masticate? I won't be doing fruit. I prefer to eat fruit as it is. I what to juice green leafy vegetables mainly. I have something that can do carrots already if I want to add carrots. , Jim Clark <huuman60@c...> wrote: > > I use a Champion Juicer that I bought on ebay for $100.
