They base such opinion on the premise that when juices are extracted from fruits and vegetables, the healthy fiber is lost with the pulp. Such people, however, do not doubt that the juices still contain vitamins, minerals and photo-nutrients from the plant. As for the vital enzymes, it depends on how the juices are extracted.
