Worthless in my opinion. When you extract the juice, you are losing out on
all the fiber. You're better off eating the whole fruit or veggies.

If you are healthy and you do raw vegitable juices you will
notice only a modest incease in energy and vitality..

if you are in deep trouble, ill.. and you buy a book on how
to do raw juice therapy you will notice huge improvments
fast... within the first two days... and even much better if
you fast on the raw juice for several days a week.

The older you are the more it will help...the enzymes in raw
juice work wonders as those decline about 80% in most people
by the time they reach age 65 or so.

most of the nutrients are in the juice... and you can drink
the equivalent of 10 lbs of vegi's if juiced... you cant eat
that much in a day. but yes you do need the fiber... but a
few carrots, and salads will provide sufficient.

Because veggies are mostly water this doesn't make sense. To pick a
number if 1/2 is water then 5 lbs are involved. Also is the question of
concentrating sugars for someone like yourself with metabolic syndrom.
"Juicing" is a fad to sell machines and books and should be seen as such.

Why not?

So what?

An issue. Juice greens, then - such as wheatgrass. Most greens have a
relatively low carb content - and concentrating it is not a big deal.

That seems inaccurate.

There is some evidence of the benefits of juicing.

Curious to know if it is just a quantity-consumed effect.

One pound of carrots juiced will allow the absorption of more of its
constituents than one pound of whole carrots.
(depends how well chewed they are too)
And it is apparently easier to cram more carrot juice into you than
raw carrots. And then I suppose limp, partially dehydrated carrots
would provide a more concentrated juice, but would be less pleasant to
eat.
