  • I know of some people who take the leftover pulp from juicing, and they add some herbs and spices to it, and make a sort of "vegetable chip" in their food dehydrators :-)

  • @CraftFamilyMO Great idea. That is precisely what I have been doing for past four months. Awesome way to increase fiber intake. Vegetable fiber serves as powerful prebiotic to increase the growth of beneficial bacteria.

  • Since I was a little kid I would chew on vegetables and certain fruits, suck the juice out of them, and then eventually spit them out. I was juicing! One might get more use of the digestive enzymes in the mouth from doing this as compared to juicing.

    Question: Is chewing on vegetables good for the teeth? (xylitol)

    It seems to me that vegetables may be natures gum. I love to chew on the real tough vegetable parts like the stem of a collard green or parsley.

  • Their is always a solution to be able to safely drink vegetable or fruit juice all you have to do is add water and mostly water. Drinking soda and other unnatural beverages never seems to be a major concern.

  • we don't need fiber for everything, I wouldn't expect to drink my water with some fibers. too much fiber is not good so juicing is an ideal way to reduce the excess fiber that you don't need

  • Well said Mercola. I was about to dislike if you said juicing fruits was actually good for humans. It's just too much fructose.

  • great idea, didn't think of that

  • AWESOME! As always, thank you sir!

  • Excellent video Dr Mercola.
