Vitamix Grapefruit Smoothie  Here is a grapefruit.  I want to
get as much whole food out of it as possible. So I only peel the
skin,  and divide it into a few pieces.  Instead of chewing them
all to get all the nutrients from whole food, I put them into
Vitamix.  And after 30 seconds:  Now what's in the Vitamix is
not just the fruit juice - this is whole food (less skin)
including seeds, pulps, fibers, etc, the nutrients I can't get
from the juice alone. By the way, the seeds disappear
completely. Vitamix does a much better job than me chewing
them.  It says on the Vitamix website,  "Breakthrough research
from the University of Toronto shows that Vitamix processing may
significantly enhance nutrient intake from whole foods.  The
results of a 2008 study at the University of Toronto clearly
indicate that the Vitamix 5200 has the ability to disrupt plant
cell wall structure and significantly reduce food particle size
which may enhance the bioavailability of essential nutrients in
fruits and vegetables."   If you
