    In a nutshell, the main benefit to juicing is you flood your body with mega doses of nutrition/enzymes. Because there is no digestion required, as the pulp has been removed, your cells are nourished very rapidly after consumption.

    Exact opposite. By removing the fiber which slows digestion, you are not allowing the time needed for the nutrients to enter the bloodstream, just the carbs. Basically, juicing gives you a big glucose hit with none of the benefits of the veggies and fruit you just juiced.

    If that were the case, no nutrients in any liquid/drink would ever be absorbed by the body.

    Except that it does, you get the vitimins and minerals and all you miss is the fibre, and not to mention that vegitable juices don't have much sugar. People need to stop listening guys like Taubes.
