Thanks for your quick answer...I have not studied this in "alot" of depth, but am utilizing my time to pursue an earnest inquiry. Since you are a hostess here, I am sure that you have had alot of contact with others on this path. Can you recommend any objective books on this subject and/or research studies to confirm the need to eliminate most fruit from one's diet? Again...from what I have read, many fruits have alot to offer nutritionally. By the way, the "Vita-Mix" leaves all the pulp in the juice it produces...It just renders the enzymes a more "bioavailable" status.......
