I was a farm kid, so I prefer my fruits and veggies as they came out of the ground or off the tree. However, if I have nothing else planned and have time to sit on the toilet all day, I will go for a fruit or veggie smoothie.

Although I do enjoy a V-8 occasionally, and mix Clamato with beer.

Juice is just too much sugar. Eat the whole fruit or vegetable for the fiber and nutrients. Juicing expels all of that. Blend if you must (smoothies can be truly awesome!) but raw or lightly steamed is healthier.

Like some veggies raw and the littl fruit I eat au natural.

Juicing concentrates the sugars in fruit. That is unhealthy for anyone with diabetic tendencies.

Juicing is bad, imho, too much sugar. You want all the fibers and cellulose. But nobody should be drinking lots of fruit juice.

I am not healthy enough to participate.

I tried juicing for a short time, but, then found what gets lost is the fiber which cleans the colon. Also, I think I recall that fewer nutrients are absorbed because of shorter transit time(?).

Are you a juicer or a blender, mrveggieman187?

Don't have a jucier, so it's easy. I think you get more fiber from blending though.

They get eaten anyway I feel willing to prepare them. Normally the easiest way. I do peel banana's!

Juice is pretty much just sugar and water. Not much value there. I eat most fruit and veg raw.

I have to control my carb count. It is way too difficult to do that by drinking juice.
