Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Hello carlos, A son, Phd, working for Hallelujah Acres, has done exhaustive testing & studies on many juicers. He concludes that the 3 best ones in order are Norwalk, GreenLife, and Champion. If you want to spend $2000, the Norwalk is for you. Otherwise get the best price you can on the Greenlife or the Champion, approx $595, and $295 respectively. Some searching on the internet may get you some savings... I am pasting an article below, but for more details and extensive findings on many juicers, go to the Hallelujah Acres.com site: richard :-) For five years, the Hallelujah Acres ministry has written health information and given it away.

Search Product ReviewsArticlesResearch Articles For Green Power Juicer Printable Version E-mail This Read to learn why we think the Green Power Juicer is a great choice Unique features of the Green Power Juice Extractor allow it to produce a juice that is longer-lasting because more nutrients are kept intact. Carrot juice from the Green Power can be refrigerated 48 hours, maintaining nutritional value and good taste. The reason this juice can be kept longer, company officials explain, is the Green Power extracts more nutrients in the juicing process. The extra enzymes and added stability of minerals enables the life, vitality and freshness of the juice to be maintained for a longer time. The first distinguishing feature I noticed on the Green Power was that it has two slow-moving " twin gears " that squeeze and crush the food, contrasted with a single fast-spinning cutter blade with sharp teeth that is characteristic of the Norwalk and Champion juicers. Instead of fast-moving teeth that cut and rip into the fruit or vegetable, the triturating process of the Green Power occurs when food is squeezed and crushed between two stainless steel gears moving at the slow speed of 90 r.p.m. For an idea of how slow 90 r.p.m. is, consider that the cutter blade of a Champion moves at 1,725 r.p.m., (19 times faster) and the Norwalk blade spins at 3,250 r.p.m. (36 times faster). Green Power officials say reduction in heat and friction means more enzymes are kept intact in the juicing process. As these gears squeeze, crush and move the triturated fruit or vegetable along, the juice is forced through a fine stainless steel strainer, while the pulp is expelled. The dryness of the pulp from the Green Power is an indication that more juice (and therefore more nutrients) are being extracted. And unlike the time-consuming two-step process of the Norwalk, which involves trituration and a separate hydraulic press, the Green Power uses a one-step process similar to that of the Champion. In addition to keeping more enzymes intact because of less heat and friction, the Green Power also utilizes bioceramic and magnetic technologies, which the company says helps to add more positive ions -- and vitality -- to minerals in the juice. It was easy for me to see how the slow-moving twin gears could keep more enzymes intact because of the reduced heat and friction, but the molecular effect of the magnetic and bioceramic technologies is a bit more technical. Here is how that was explained by company officials and consultants: At the core of each of the twin gears is a series of magnets. The magnets are each three-quarters of an inch long and are alternated between positive and negative. When the two gears are placed side-by-side, the positive and negative magnets are also alternated between the gears, which generates a positive charge, or attraction. At the molecular level, this means the magnets are creating positive ions as the gears spin. Surrounding the inner core of magnets is a second level containing bioceramic particles and an outer layer of stainless steel. Bioceramic particles, produced by infrared technology, also emit positive ions. Magnets in the Green Power work in conjunction with these bioceramic particles, the company explains. The magnets recharge the bioceramic material and the bioceramic material recharges the magnets. Without this recharging, the effect of both the magnets and the bioceramic material each would eventually be diminished. As the gears are spinning, the magnets and the bioceramic material are each producing more positive ions than can be held in charge by either the magnets or bioceramic material, therefore many of these positive ions go into the juice. These additional positive ions add more vitality and longevity to the life of the minerals, which reduces oxidation and keeps the juice fresher longer. Company literature states juice from the Green Power can be kept refrigerated for two days. I have tried this and found the 48-hour-old carrot juice to still taste very good. It remained bright orange, showing no apparent signs of oxidation. When carrot juice has lost its freshness due to substantial oxidation, this oxidation is obvious because the bright orange juice turns brown and no longer has the same fresh smell or taste. There is some separation that occurs with two-day-old juice from a Green Power, and that can be remedied by stirring, shaking or re-straining the juice. The Green Power allows you to make juice for the next day or two, which can be stored in glass jars in the refrigerator. This is a real time-saving feature. Some days I have two or three glasses of juice without setting up and cleaning my juicer. Anytime I plan to spend a day or two on the road, I find it very convenient to pack a few jars of fresh juice in a cooler. (Two hints for keeping juice longer: Peel your carrots instead of just scrubbing them, which will eliminate a lot of bacteria, and fill small jars to the top with juice, allowing as little oxygen in the jar as possible.) And this is the perfect juicing solution for people who have a job where it is impossible or inconvenient to bring a juicer to work. The best time to juice is during the early to middle part of one's daily eating cycle. The ability to make extra juice the night before would make it much easier for many people to drink juice at work. Now I have been the happy owner of a Champion Juicer since 1991, and I juice most every day. I still think the Champion is a fine juicer. But for those who can afford the extra cost, I would suggest the Green Power as an alternative to consider. I especially recommend the Green Power for anyone who would like to be able to store their juice for one or two days. As with the Champion, the Green Power comes with attachments that allow it to be used to make baby foods, nut butters and frozen desserts. The Green Power also is capable of juicing wheat grass and comes with attachments for making various types of pasta. As for prices, the Champion retails for $269.00, the Green Power costs $595.00, and the Norwalk Press tops out at about $2,000.00. These are the only three juicers we recommend at Hallelujah Acres. We specifically do not recommend a centrifugal juicer (any juicer with a spinning basket) because it only cuts and shreds the food, which does not extract a sufficient amount of nutrients into the juice. The Champion and the Norwalk have been around for decades and have introduced many people to the healthful benefits of fresh vegetable and fruit juice. The Green Power is the new kid on the block, and it's rapidly gaining recognition and respect. The Green Power was the Grand Prize Winner of the 9th International Invention/New Products Exposition in Pittsburgh, Penn. in May 1993; it was the winner of the Korean President's 1st Prize in the 93 Invention Day in May 1993; it won the Silver Medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Nurinburg, Germany in March 1993; and it won Silver Medal at the 20th International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland in May 1993. The Champion is a very dependable and versatile juicer that has produced great results for many people. And the Norwalk Press, developed by Dr. Norman and used at the Gerson Clinic, has been available for those who could spend up to $2,000 for a juicer. Now there is another choice for people willing to pay more for a higher quality juicer. Many of these people will find the Green Power to be an attractive option. From my experience with all three juicers, I could justify paying more than double the cost of a Champion to buy a Green Power. But I couldn't justify spending more than three times the cost of a Green Power for a Norwalk. Choosing a Juicer > Hi everybody, > I am planning to buy a really good juicer.

Hi, the Omega 8000 juicer - $399 - also has the same type of twin steel gears as Green Power, but at a lower price. http://www.juiceronline.com/o2.htm I agree, the twin steel gears are the best type of juicers. moonbeam Instead of > fast-moving teeth that cut and rip into the fruit or vegetable, the > triturating process of the Green Power occurs when food is squeezed and > crushed between two stainless steel gears moving at the slow speed of 90 > r.p.m. For an idea of how slow 90 r.p.m. is, consider that the cutter > blade of a Champion moves at 1,725 r.p.m., (19 times faster) and the > Norwalk blade spins at 3,250 r.p.m. (36 times faster).

Easy Publish Tool: http://www.isnare.com/html.php?id=14115 ================== ARTICLE START ================== There are many advantages to eating fruit and vegetables raw. Water-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin C) are destroyed by heating, so there will be less vitamin C in a cooked carrot than in a similar raw carrot. But for some nutrients, cooking (and juicing) is more nutritious, because it makes the nutrients more easily assimilated. Cooking and juicing breaks down tough fibres and allows the digestive juices to work more effectively on the vegetable. This is particularly important for someone who is elderly, ill or who has impaired digestion. For example, research has shown that we absorb approximately 3-4% of carotenoids from raw carrots and 15-20% from cooked carrots. Carotenoids are plant pigments that give yellow, orange and red fruit and vegetables their colour. Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants, so have a role in helping us fight old age and cancer. Juicing fruit and vegetables is an excellent way to combine the advantages of both raw and cooked. There are a lot of different juicers out there, so I decided to ask the experts at the Wholistic Research Company in the UK for more about juicing and juicers. What are the benefits of a juicer over just eating fresh fruit and vegetables? The use of fresh fruit and vegetable juices in both normal and therapeutic diets has long been established as a great aid to natural health, energy and well-being. The high mineral and nutrient content, combined with the vibrant life-energy of fresh fruits and vegetables, makes pure, fresh juice a wonderful part of a healthy person's diet. In no other way can one consume the nutritional content of, for example, a pound or two of apples and carrots (in a glass) and then go on to eat a healthy breakfast. Fresh juices are an invaluable supplement to any person's diet. Indeed there are therapies that rely almost entirely on the power and nutrition available in juices to rid an ailing body of serious illness, even cancer. The body is stimulated by such concentrated goodness to throw off negative, pathological cellular deterioration and regain excellent health. What are the advantages of a juicer over bought juice? Making fresh juices from your own juicer provides you with the same live enzymes that are available in raw fresh fruit and vegetables. These fresh raw foods give us more energy and sparkle than cooked, 'dead' foods, and 'dead' juices that have been sitting in a container on the supermarket shelf for days, weeks or even months. This energy (from the freshly made juice) is concentrated, and you feel it as soon as you drink it. It can clear your head and make you feel light and energetic. Juicers can vary dramatically in price, so what should you look for in buying a juicer? In order to extract juice from fruits and vegetables, it is necessary first to break down the cell walls and fibres and then separate out the juice. Ideally, a top quality juicer should deliver a nutrient-rich juice on the one hand and a dry pulp of cell walls and fibres, on the other. There are basically two types of juicers: centrifugal juicers and masticating juicers. So what is a centrifugal juicer? This is an inexpensive juicer and is widely available. It merely grates fruits and vegetables, leaving strings of unbroken cells. The juice from the cells that have been broken is then spun out at very high speed (6,000 to 10,000 rpm). Because the juice is flung out, it mixes with the air and so oxidises (turns brown) quickly. The pulp usually remains very moist, because the process has not extracted all the juice. Not only is this more wasteful, but the juice is paler, more watery, lower in nutrient value and often quite insipid in flavour. That doesn’t sound very appetising. Are masticating juicers any better? Masticating juicers provide richer, more flavourful, nutritious juices. They are altogether more ‘serious’, although more expensive, but should be considered to be an investment in good health. They more thoroughly break up fruit or vegetables, and press out the juice from the resulting pulp inside a nose cone with a narrow opening. This is far more efficient than centrifugal action. A good masticating juicer will extract up to five times more nutrients than centrifugal juicers. Masticating juicers - like the popular American champion juicer - use a rugged cutter, spinning at 1425 rpm. This will juice whole carrots and quartered apples speedily and with ease. There are also slower masticating juicers that use a single auger or twin gears, revolving at 80 to 160 rpm, to more gently crush smaller pieces of fruit and vegetables. They are especially useful for juicing tough fibrous greens and wheatgrass (a powerful healing natural tonic). You can also juice wheatgrass with a manual masticating juicer. A good one can be relatively inexpensive to buy, and is similar to an old fashioned table-mounted mincer that is turned with a handle. Many masticating juicers will also make smoothies, purees, nut butters, pasta, baby foods and frozen fruit ice creams. The price of a good juicer may seem quite high, but the quality of the juice produced, and the long life of the juicer, far outweigh the initial outlay when compared to the cheaper, far less efficient models on the market.
