I'm not a fan of juicing.

I think (And my nutrition professor thinks) that there are some important vitamins/minerals/phytochemicals/good stuff in the fibers of those plants that you don't get in the straight liquid.

Also it's not nutritionally complete for a meal or meal-replacement with only juice. When I take the time to do my shakes properly and include some fat(Coconut oil mostly, I'm gaga about the stuff) and a few other veggies, it's got about 1/3 of my daily values of a ton of stuff, and it's DELICIOUS. And it makes very few dishes. I'm all about the multiple skillet prep omelets, baked goods, hollandaise sauce... When someone else is cleaning up.

I often think of Jack LaLanne when I have a smoothie. What do you think about that guy? Was a picture of health until he died at 97, I think. Is he an outlier freak, or just a dude that knew how to live long and healthy?

I would attribute that more to general healthy living rather than just juicing.
