The Bailey Report
A comparative study of the operation and efficiency of machine "A", a leading centrifugal juicer; machine "B", described as being a juicer, grater and homogenizer; and machine "N", a Norwalk hydraulic press juicer. A chemical analysis of the mineral content of the extracted juices was made. Uniform 5 pound samples of carrots, parsley and celery were run on each of the machines with the following results:

This study indicates that the Norwalk produces a much greater amount of juice from a given sample than does either of the other juicers in much less time. The extremely fine pulp produced by the Norwalk and the very great pressure applied by the hydraulic press would appear to account for the greater yield of juice and the very marked superiority in the extraction of mineral content.
***
In digging in deeper, I found out that "Juicer B" was a Champion (as the description indicates)...as I understand it, the Champion is obviously much better than a centrifugal, but doesn't yield quite as much juice as the single auger/slow press type. The dryness of the pulp is a 'good measure' of the quality/quantity of the juice.
Lovin' this: >>>Your experience with juicing taking 'so long' sounds like a good *reason* to remind yourself (whenever you feel impatient) to breathe unimpededly, let go, and welcome the chance to sink into the moment. <<<
The most powerful "time" for any of us is the moment of each NOW! We have no power over the past (and none over the future, if we don't utilize each 'now' in a powerful & postive way).
