> Blending and juicing are different things. Juicers typically remove the fiber which is then discarded as a waste product. Yeah, I get that. And makes sense.

> Blending and juicing are different things. Juicers typically remove the fiber which is then discarded as a waste product. Yeah, I get that. And makes sense. But I keep seeing (even in this thread) that blending is almost/just as bad. > It's very possible that blending is still worse than eating whole though because the juice is now immediately available in the gut without the whole food needing to be slowly broken down even if you also still consume the fiber. Rate of absorption makes a huge difference in nutrition. Obviously the real secret is chewing as little as possible and instead swallowing large chunks. In theory, but is there anything to back this up? Because it seems like there isn’t much in the way of science or studies. But yet I see plenty of claims of it.
