CANCER CURED: [cancercured] Re: Juicer questions.

Bret

Apple and pear seeds and the inner stony pit (kernel) of apricots and peaches contain a naturally occurring toxin called amygdalin. I never said to throw peels in the garbage. I said specifically that juicing and blending have different effects. I left my post on here so you can reread it. Oftentimes, one needs concentrated nutrients and juicing is the way to go to get those. Juicing also gives the digestive system a breather and the body can spend the energy in healing instead of digesting. The body does a considerable amount of energy digesting foods. Having juice only takes about an hour to digest while whole foods take hours. That is one of the reasons that the only PROVEN way to live longer is to eat less.

> Both juicing and blending are good. They both serve different purposes. Blending you do get all the nutrients. I would definitely disagree with you about the nutrition value of apple seeds though. Other seeds are very nutritious like sesame and watermelon, etc. The reason for juicing is that you get the vitamins and minerals in concentrated form and it is much easier to digest than the whole food or even the pureed food. That food may not be so good in a concentrated form if it has lots of sugar such as most fruit juices and carrot juice, etc.If a person needs alot of chlorophyll for example, then juicing is the way to go. Sometimes the body just needs a rest. Quite a bit of our daily energy goes into digesting foods. By juicing, we can save alot of energy and use the energy for healing instead of digesting. I am not necessarily degrading blending because we do need the fiber from foods to work the digestive system so we do not get constipated, etc. Then
