Juicing debate. The research of Dr. Clement of the Hippocrates Health Institute has not been scientifically proven, nor have any lab results been shown to support his claims. The site also sells many food products that have been processed much more than any blender could accomplish (i.e. dried veggies, flax crackers). They also sell dehydrators, which are designed to dry food by blowing hot air around them for hours. Personally, I think their vendetta against blending comes from a financial standpoint, not any research-based facts. This is one of the most controversial issues in the Blending Vs. Juicing debate.

The queston od the study was which has more oxidation ' damage'. Study compared potatoes, juiced v. Blended as it is easy to viually see oxidation in a potatoe quickly in discoloraton. If i recall correct, the juiced potato oxidized quickly, within first minute or two. And oxidization showed in whole glass of juice as discolored evenly. The blended potato showed oxidation more slowly, hours overnight, and only showed it at surface area of glass. This was i part due to texture difference. That blended has more solids keeping air exposure limited to surface area at top of glass while juiced, with less solid particls, was affected by air throughout whole glass, not just at surface. Wish i could remember the books name...heavy on science. Read today a study done on oxidation occuring after juicing/blending based on this idea.

That's far-fetched. For 90% of people, blending green smoothies is highly beneficial (and better than a typical American diet) despite the destruction of some nutrients due to oxidation.

Blending destroys the nutritional value within a minuet or two. Its called OXIDATION. That's what a blender does. Remove the air and a blender does not work. Free radicals do all the damage.
