More Thoughts on the Nutribullet

   At the outset consider a liquid diet as unnatural - impossible to find in nature as such and denies the need for our teeth, and much of the digestive mechanisms orientated around the mouth. The makers or proponent push the fact that so much fibre can be digested this way - I say the fibre in fruit or vegetables one uses is almost certainly damaged so much as to have little mechanical effect on intestinal motility and therefore intestinal health.
   Undoubtedly some fibre remnants persist to enable some sort pre-biotic function but the liquefaction to the degree they show occurs by pouring the result through a filter without obstruction is really worrying.
   Enzymes, vitamins and other nutrients are bound to fragment of the fruit or vegetable used and are released in a manner controlled by mastication and the normal peristalsis and rhythms of the gut.
   When a smoothie or whatever from a Nutribullet is swallowed it exposes the gut to unprecedented level of nutrients, some intact possibly, certainly some knocked about, and not just physically.
   We all like fruit salad but even this might be worrying as the mixed fruits have different acidity levels and particular nutrients in any one item may be damaged by another. Where in nature does one find any animal mixing food in this manner and how much more is that situation.
If this is the case with fruit salad think how much more damage occurs when they are blitzed in a Nutribullet?
The one case where the Nutribullet is useful is liquidising nuts and seeds but it is an expensive way of doing it as blender a quarter to a third of the price will do this nicely. In fact the Nutribullet probably goes overboard reducing any natural irritant effect of a ground nut or seed to zero.
 Something I have mentioned before is the immediacy of the effect of a problem ingredient - this could be allergy or a vegetable or fruit product that should be cooked.
The high speed of the mechanism, said to be 20,000 revs per minute, could easy create enough heat to cook the mix it is making.
Another well advertised and more expensive blender seen in department stores on demonstrations shows by extending the blitz time the mix heats up and renders itself as a soup.
I think, all in all, one has to be wary about the use of the Nutribullet as an aid to health living.
