Ray, thanks for a great post about your experience with some juicers. I will
be a 60 year old man this January, and just recently started to improve my
health habits by jogging a mile a day. Also,about a month ago, I started taking
a table spoon full of ground up flax seed every morning. I also eat a handfull
of broccoli sprouts each morning as well. I am considering adding wheat grass
juiice to my regimen, although I know nothing about any of it's health benefits.
Can any of you suggest some "objective" studies that have been done regarding
the health benefits of wheatgrass juice? It is sometimes difficult to determine
the amount of objectivity in the articles that are posted on the internet.

I buy my broccoli sprouts in the grocery store, but I would like to be able to
easily grow them at home so they would be fresher.
Do any of you know of any broccoli sprout growing systems that make growing
broccoli sprouts a low labor process? I imagine that any good, and easy, home
growing system would cost in excess of $100. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Subject: [wheatgrass] Juicers


Some including myself have previously asked about juicers. I bought a
Wheateena on ebay. Was supposed to be a "Red Label" wound up being a "Green
Label" with a red label on the motor. I think the seller was less than
honest. Will give you his seller id if you email me off list. Enough of that.
I didn't like it. It is built like a tank. I don't know how you could ever
destroy it unless you didn't lube it! It wasn't as easy to clean as my
Champion. Has several wing nuts to remove and a metal screen to remove. Not
difficult, but not near as easy to use as the plastic ones.
The other thing I didn't like was that it has too much liquid escape where
the pulp comes out. To get maximum juice you have to run it through several
times. I think that problem has probably been solved with the Red Label
model.
I now have a Omega 8001. I bought it at juicers for less for $215, Wheateena
cost $250 plus shipping. One thing about buying on line as opposed to ebay is
the shipping is included when buying from retail sites on the internet. Some
of the sites to tell you to email for the best price. The best regular price
for the Omega 8001 was 229.95. When asking for the best price found a price
of $215 shipping included.
I like the Omega 8001 very much. It is easy to assemble and disassemble. The
pulp coming out of it is completely dehydrated and no reasom to run it
through again.

Hope this helps someone.
Any questions, don't hesitate to email me.
