High-speed juicers reduce the enzyme and vitamin content in raw food just like cooking does. Enzymes and vitamins are very sensitive to heat and friction and too much of these will destroy the enzymes and vitamins found in raw food.

90% of juicers sold today use a centrifuge and a revolving blade to extract juice. These juicers grind the raw foods using a blade revolving at 3000rpm to 14000rpm (revolutions per minute); the high speed of the blade creates friction, which damages the cells and enzymes in the raw food.

If you want to retain more nutrients and goodness in your juice look for a low speed “Living Juice” juicer. These juicers use single or twin gears revolving at speeds less than 120rpm. We have researched Living Juicers and have included the best single gear, twin gear and hand operated models on the mypure detox pages.
