Buying a juicer is one of the worst decisions that I have ever made in my life. It is all I can do to not puke when drinking any vegetable juice, no matter how much fruit juice I add to it. So I have stopped juicing vegetables. And now I only juice a small glass of fruit juice for breakfast now.
I saw the title and thought this had something to do with A-Rod. I think I'm going to start juicing. I'm losing weight for a surgery and want to keep going after that. There's already some good tip here. I'm interested in the observation about the acids and alkalies from BC. So what if they neutralize each other? Does that mean it's less nutritional? What's the negative or benefit of this?
From a health standpoint, blenders are better than juicers. A lot of the nutrition in produce is in the parts that the juicer removes. We got a vitamix as a wedding present and I absolutely love it.

So what if they neutralize each other? Does that mean it's less nutritional? What's the negative or benefit of this?The negative I could see is the canceling of absorption of some nutrients due to the neutralizing effect. Often foods are acid or alkaline and the aminos and other properties require that for absorption. So take away the acid in ascorbic acid lose the vitamin c yes rose hips are acidic. A lot of people say do not take calcium at the same time you take vitamin c as they cancel each other out and you may as well just drink a glass of water. Its sort of like that. Figure out what nutrition you are trying to get out of juicing then find the foods that boost that.
