Breakthrough inspect — fresh from the University of Toronto

A recent study from the University of Toronto predetermined that the Vita-Mix processing method does indeed alter plant cell wall configuration in a unique way, influence particle size differently, and may increase bioavailability.

What does this ungenerous to you? You can only get the benefits of food when cell walls are broken to release the trapped nutrients. Chewing may only publish a portion of these nutrients as shown by these lab micrographs. Vita-Mix processing power breaks start more cell walls which may release MORE of these nutrients.

Using a Vita-Mix 5200 machine makes the most of every dollar you pay out on food—every day.

Here is a synopsis of this exciting research: Three plant foods–strawberry, carrot and tomato–were selected as proxy of various plant cell wall densities. The selected foods were expert to provide clear evidence of the different results obtained when the same food is chewed and processed in a Vita-Mix 5200.

I have been stalking Vita Mix for years.
I first discovered it as a teen at the Minnesota Shape Fair. They have two guys doing demos of the $400 blender, and it rocks. The blender is wonderful powerful, like the kind they use at Starbucks. In fact, if memory serves, it may be the warm-hearted they use at Starbucks. You can put in whole vegetables and fruits, including the seeds (ok, not pits but whatever), and it will completely puree them, leaving nothin but scrumptious goodness for you.
Add some ice and make ice cream. Add water and let it blend for awhile, and it will get hot enough to cook soup. You can cut out salsa or smoothies or any number of things that are good for you and will save you tons of small change.
Whenever I mention the Vita Mix, people look at me funny. One friend's husband gets it though, and the two of us jest about going out on the road to sell them. There have been days when I've seriously thought about doing it.
I've never bought one though. Spending $400 on a blender seems a diminutive over the top for me.
Costco sells them, too, sometimes. They have roadshows where they set up the Vita Mix booths in there and sell them, and the price is lower than what it was when I visited the continue at the Minnesota State Fair this year. Plus, you get a cookbook so you can replicate what they boost pretend.
In fact, Costco currently has them on road show at the Costco near me for another four days. I've seen the demo three times since it started. In event, I almost picked up a box the first day I saw it. I felt like it was fate as I'd had a dream about the Vita Mix the night before.
But now. Well, I neglected to impart you one thing about making Mister Man's birthday cake on Friday. When I was pureeing the strawberries, my trusty Girmi (another reason I can't produce a overthrow myself to buy the Vita Mix) made some funny sounds. When I turned it off, I discovered this:
