The power of the whole fruit.  One section of the book Beating Cancer With Nutrition (a bestseller by Patrick Quillin - PhD,RD,CNS) stresses the Power Of The Whole Fruit. A direct quote from the book; “It is amazing how simple the answer to cancer can be. Our brilliant researchers have spent 33 years and $50 billion dollars of your tax dollars wrestling with the complex issue of curing cancer.  Yet nature has been solving the dilemma for thousands of years. All of us get cancer all of the time, yet magical ingredients in a whole food diet are there to help the body beat cancer. Ellagic acid from berries induces “suicide in the cancel cells/ Lycopenes from tomatoes helps suppress cancer growth.”  

2 other simple juicers I will recommend

If you are looking for that simple juicer for fresh orange juice, grapefruit juice, or lemon juice, the the Cuisinart CCJ below has over 1,500 views and is almost a full 5 STARS. I was gifted one by mi novia and it does make that orange juice well. It's a nice stainless steel, easy to use and clean all for less than $30 with 2 day prime shipping?  Can't beat it. 

Fresh Lemon juice (with or without water) in the morning is a huge recommendation. That is a whole different topic, but it is a game changer. If that's all your going for, don't go electric, go manually with this tool Preworks by Progressive. This one also has almost 5 STARS, and almost 1,000 reviews!

Juicing Versus Blending
​(Juices versus smoothies)

Research proves it; most nutrients are trapped inside the cell walls of whole foods.
            -your body cannot absorb them all.
            -Certain nutrients are released only when cell walls are ruptured.
            -Simply chewing or extracting juice from whole foods does not rupture cell walls.
            -High Power blending ruptures cell walls and releases these nutrients

Diabetics have to be much more careful with a juice extractor, it takes out all of the fiber, which is great for helping to metabolize the natural sugar. 

Fiber by itself helps to fill you up, not fill you out.

The two biggest negatives with juicers are that they are a hassle to clean.  The other is it's MUCH more expensive to juice compared to blending, since you're are throwing away the fibers and other powerful key nutrients.  Between a budget and the time cleaning the machine and preparing the juice, most people find that it isn't a viable option for the long term.  Most people hide their juicers after just a few uses. 

A juice contains concentrated sugar (which is why it tastes so sweet and tasty). It will quench your thirst but will not act  as a replacement. While a smoothie with just a 3-4 different items can easily act as a meal replacement and fill you up. 
My opinion:   Blending is ideal for various reasons. I have personally used a $2,000 juicer, that made awesome carrot juice. However, it weighed a ton, and was a pain to operate and clean. I've also owned 2 other juicers. Jack Lalanne's and a Hurom 'masticating slow juicer'.  My favorite juicer was the Hurom.  But even with a complete seriousness in trying out juicing again, and going through the phase, it just wasn't ideal compared to blending.   Blending truly gives you more than just one appliance. Am I against juicers? No. I love juice as much as the next person, why wouldn't I love that delicious concentrated sugar? I order a fresh-squeezed orange juice for breakfast when places offer it, and I never order regular orange juice.  Fresh apple juice, juices with veggies and any juice for that matter will always have a place in my heart.  I highly recommend the Hurom . It is a the best juicer for your buck at around $150. 
 I have multiple years of experience using all 3 juicer tools reviewed above.
