Stage2 juice is the phytonutrients that are bound to the fiberous material of the foodstuff beign consumed.A juicer has the mechanical ability to masticate and crush and squese.But it is lacking the ability to digest through bombarding the foodstuff with gastric juices.If you run a whole carrot through your digestive tract and it is well masticated 90% of the fibre as a general rule of thumb will be completly disasembled by the digestive tract.If you juice the carrot and run it through a microscreen you will get less than 1% of the fibrerous material which is loaded with the pigments or vits. and other phytonutrients.Using a highpower blender one can make wholefood juice instead of fractionated juice.Wholefoods is the fondation to a good diet!I have been using my vitamix5000 for a little over 2years.It makes great wholefood smoothies,and kickass salsa.Its an exellant way to enhance your nutrient uptake and overall vitality.There are books on this subject at amazon.com.Wholefood blending is taught at the hippocrates health institutes and other healing retreats.Its a simple concept,wholefood= wholenutrition.
