To my knowledge, no one has mentioned making juice. What type of juice are you wanting to make?

My guess is that it would be alright to have vegetable juice, if all the nutritional value was not removed in the process...but my dietitian has advised that drinking fruit juice is the same as drinking sugar Water.

The juicer where you put whole veggies in and it makes it a concentrated juice. Not like a citrus juicer , but a health juicer like a juice man. I wouldn't juice a lot of fruits but wonder if anyone else uses something like that?

I saw this amazing juicer that Montel Williams advertised! it's like 200 dollars but I plan on investing in it. it's awesome and does not take away the nutritional value it even makes hot veggie Soup ! I'll have to look up the name of it because I can't remember it I'll let you know when I find it.

I have the Montel juicer- it is a wonderful way to make hot vegetable Soups - nutritional drinks. It does include a booklet full of recipes that are very good as well! I would highly recommend it.

I have a Breville and it's super easy. I usually make what I call a "sixer". It's 3 fruits and 3 veggies.

Some things I've learned:

1. broccoli will make your pee smell so awful you will not want anyone near you in a public restroom
   
2. parsley has great health benefits but too much of it will give you diarrhea
   
3. too much carrots will make your skin orange
   
4. if you're just juicing veggies, add an apple or it's way too bitter to drink
   
5. if you juice just veggies, the pulp is excellent to flavor Soups and stews
   
6. if you're diabetic, limit the mix of produce to only one piece of fruit because the juice is really concentrated with sugar
   
7. melons will overpower the flavor so you will taste them
   
8. clean your juicer immediately after using it or put it in a sink full of soapy Water or it will take you forever to clean it - especially the screen
   

My dad makes juice every morning. He is 80 years old and just finally quit umpiring baseball, but only because his vision is failing. He was able to run to first base just as fast as the high schoolers. He is in perfect health and swears to everyone that it's his morning juice that keeps him healthy. And it's not always fresh produce that he uses. He buys produce in bulk during the season, cleans and cuts it and freezes it for his juice.

I have a juiceman. I absolutely love it. it has been fun to try lots of different veggies.

I started for health reasons. I have had an ulcer for a long time & I found out that cabbage juice will help heal it. I mix cabbage with green apples. if I have it I add a little ginger too!

Thank you all so much for the insight! What is the specific models of juicers you all have. I really want to get one today. I think one glass of juice a day would be so beneficial In the nutrient department, since we can only eat small quantities.
