| Re: Juicing
I don't understand why you don't get all your fruits and vegies. Instead of juicing them, you should just eat them whole. Whole foods are good for your health. You're going to pay your hard earned money for a juicer and then pay for perfectly good vegetables and then you will "beat them up" and throw away the best part, the fiber.
The "sweet" juice will zip into your system with lightening speed so as to spike your blood sugar and your insulin. And absent the fiber, you won't get the same feeling of fullness that should signal you to stop.
This being the health and nutrition board, I can't go along with the concept of juicing because it calls for throwing away the fiber which is so essential to good health. In my opinion, you would be better off to eat just one carrot whole, than to drink the juice of six. The same goes for apples or anything else.
