I know this is not an option for some people... but for most - please just ditch the juicer and eat whole fruits & veg. The juicing process leaves so much goodness behind you make mother nature cut herself.
I think the concept might be: Juicing does NOT replace real foods but it's an intense burst of easy to digest vitamins.
Juicing breaks the fruits and veggies down so that your body can absorb the micro nutrients. That's something you wouldn't get had you just eaten the fruit or veggie whole.

The juicing process leaves so much goodness behind you make mother nature cut herself. Juicing breaks the fruits and veggies down so that your body can absorb the micro nutrients. That's something you wouldn't get had you just eaten the fruit or veggie whole. It's best to get both. I tend to juice half fruit and half veggies then I eat whole veggies the rest of the day. There are tons of benefits from juicing but it's also important to make sure you eat whole fruits and veggies and watch your fiber intake. Juicing removes the fiber.
After watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead I took on a juicing challenge. I did it for just about 3 weeks. While I dropped at least 15-20 pounds, it all came back within a few weeks of going back to "real" food. None of the 50 pounds I've currently lost are due to juicing. They're all from eating better and being more active. I will say this, I did start to feel the positive effects of juicing daily. I slept better, had great energy, my skin looked better, etc. I keep thinking about adding juicing into my current food and work out regimen. I wouldn't supplement juice for a meal again, but I think it's worth trying to add in to your life to see how you feel on it.
Juicing breaks the fruits and veggies down so that your body can absorb the micro nutrients. That's something you wouldn't get had you just eaten the fruit or veggie whole. This is incorrect. Your body will absorb the micronutrients from whole foods when eaten.

Your body will absorb the micronutrients from whole foods when eaten. I get what your saying but I've read quite a few books on it and this is what the studies show. I guess it's a personal decision. Good arguments on both sides. I don't juice to replace food but in addition to. I've seen so many benefits from juicing that I never got from eating raw.

If you didn't absorb micronutrients from eating fruit and vegetables don't you think there would be a whole lot of dead people from nutrient deficiencies? Wouldn't I have scurvy by now since I don't juice?

If you didn't absorb micronutrients from eating fruit and vegetables don't you think there would be a whole lot of dead people from nutrient deficiencies? Wouldn't I have scurvy by now since I don't juice? The way it was explained to me was that eating the fruit and vegetables raw you get tons of nutrients. The body will absorb a percentage of these. But when you break them down by juicing it breaks them into micro nutrients which the body absorbs 100%. Plus when juicing on an empty stomach it gives your digestive system a rest which can have many benefits also. I think people that don't juice can be just as healthy by eating tons of fruits and vegetables. But for ME this way makes my body feel better. Like I said it's a personal decision. Best thing is to inform yourself of both sides of the argument and make an educated decision what works best for your family.

I'd like to see some of these "studies" you've read so much about because basically what you are saying is that the human body doesn't function as well as a juicing machine. Sorry lady, but our bodies are meant to break down and extract nutrients from our foods. Juicing doesn't "break them down into micronutrients," all it does is squeeze out the fluid and leave all the good stuff behind. Why do people insist on drinking the juice instead of just eating the darn apple -.-

Please do supply is with the titles so that we can check them out and verify if what you've read is real research or nonsense to convince someone to juice instead of relying on the mechanisms of the well-evolved body.
