    if you juice and drink it straight away - you will get many of the nutrients in that veggie or fruit, which is great ! However you will be lacking fibre which seems to be a big issue in the typical north Amercian diet. Fibre is know to fight disease, keep toxins out of your body and regulate your blood sugar levels etc. So I would say that if you juice - you still need to down a couple descent salads in a day. Veggies will keep you living a looooong & healthy life - especially the green ones! Hope that helps.
