I'm just curious, Lena. How do you KNOW there was a loss of nutrients? Seems like to accurately assess such a thing would require some sophisticated equipment capable of determining nutrients before and after juicing.
I imagine that technically it is impossible to only remove pulp without losing some of the good stuff, so I can easily believe your assertion. But couldn't one just juice more of whatever it is from which you want to derive nutrients? I'm not a juicer nor a blender, so I have no bias and no particular interest other than curiosity.

Even with feeding the pulp through several times, I know there was loss of nutrients by that method. Unable to afford a Vitamix, I'm making smoothies and juices with my Nutribullet (not to be confused with less powerful MagicBullet) and have increased my organic raw-veggie/fruit intake to a much higher level. The convenience of this helped compliance. Compliance is a factor to be considered. The Champion was such a pain to clean that it languished on my counter, unused, a lot. The Nutribullet gets used several times a day. Even some of my Vitamix friends prefer the Nutribullet for easy use. No, I don't have any commercial, vested interest in this product and I don't know how durable it will be, long-term, but it's performed well for almost 8 months.

Is there any consensus in the blender versus juicing debate, wrt which one (a) damages nutrients less and (b) which results in the most absorb-able output? I read lots of claims both ways but I wonder if there is any real evidence supporting any of the claims? It seems logical to me that both do about the same amount of "damage" to the food, even the expensive juicers like a Norwalk, no? -- Alan Jones "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
