Does anyone here "juice"?

[KittiesKorner]

Aside from fiber, I do not believe so? :shrug:

you lose the nutrients from skin and pulp

Not in that vitamix blender.

 

[KittiesKorner]

so they say. I'll stick to the labor-intensive method of not juicing

 

[RosettaStoned]

So is the consensus that blending, juicing, or in any way liquidizing fruits and veg causes them to lose their nutritional value?

Yes, its not a huge deal if you consume it right away but you do lose nutritional value from liquidating foods.

 

[malcore]

Wouldn't one in essence lose all nutrients from veg and fruits if you liquidate them?

 

[HeHateMe]

Yes, its not a huge deal if you consume it right away but you do lose nutritional value from liquidating foods.

But we are talking about liquifying foods?

 

[RosettaStoned]

But we are talking about liquifying foods?

Ya, auto correct. If you blend, juice, or in anyway liquefied your food you lose nutritional value.

Where does it go?

Can we talk about Jay Cutler now?

It gets oxidized.

 

[bearmick]

But if you consume it right away (ie straight from the blender to a glass and down your throat within 30 seconds) you don't lose much of the value?

 

[HeHateMe]

I was kind of pissed about the oxidation effect on some pears I bought 4 days ago. They were green and now they are brown. I should have consumed them when I left the store. Lost nutrients...

I would say if you consume it that day you should be fine really. Based on available research anyway.

Obviously the sooner the better.

You are an idiot.

 

[HeHateMe]

You are an idiot.

Because I am concerned with the trivial amount of nutrients my pears lost makes me an idiot? Or because I enjoy your mad?

 

[malcore]

Why did stoned just get juiced? Dude was being decent.

 

[HeHateMe]

See what happens when you call me an idiot?

 

[HeHateMe]

No seriously, what happened?

 

[SilenceS]

Eh, I think of juicing like I think of Advocare. Of course, if I stop drinking and stop eating carbs and eat healthy and exercise I am going to drop a lot of weight quickly. But, its not sustainable and that why I think its kind of dumb. Its not a lifestyle. Its a sprint.
