I use my veggie juice blender daily first thing in the morning - total nutrient absorption is higher than eating the veggie because the molecules are in liquid form and do not require further physical breakdown. As well, consumption in the morning with an empty stomach means that no nutrients are absorbed/trapped into the fiber of the veggies. These two points are what allows more nutrients to be absorbed as opposed to normal consumption.

Like I said, juicing is fine. But if you only eat raw vegetables, you are not getting nearly all the nutrients from them. Veggies must be cooked first. It's a whacky alternative myth to think otherwise.
