Thank you for answering.

getting the majority of your calories from nutrition-less sugar is loony What did you mean by nutrition-less sugar? Vegetable/leafy juices (celery, spinach etc) have lots of nutrition, correct? (much more than just a fruit juice).



Sorry, there was a bit of sampling bias there. Most of the juicers I know will lean heavily on juicing fruits, not vegetables/leafy things, for the sake of flavor.

It's fine to juice things, especially if it helps you to get vegetables in your diet, but avoid fruits and excess sugar. I know too many juicers who end up getting like 70% of their calories from sugar because they're sucking down glorified fruit smoothies all the time.
