Check out my list of the worst juicers on the market and save yourself a lot of money and heartache. Find out which models sent me running the other way.
I’ve really enjoyed researching and trying out different juicers for JuicerAuthority.com. I’ve found a lot of really excellent models across all juicer categories, from centrifugal juicers to masticating juicers. Unfortunately I’ve also found some real lemons. And I’m not talking about lemons to make lemonade; I’m talking about juicers that can’t juice lemons. I’m talking about juicers that break down after just a couple of uses – smoking engines and all. Juicers that are so weak they can’t even handle a juicy tomato. Juicers that spit out pulp that is so wet that you can squeeze out the left over, wasted, juice with your hand. These are models that you should not just stay away from; you should run away from, because they …

I was walking through the grocery store the other day going down the “fruit” drink aisle trying to find something healthy. I had no luck. Almost everything I looked at had some type of high-fructose corn syrup or other type of artificial sweeter listed in the ingredients. Most processed artificial sweeteners are simply empty calories and are rarely ever healthy for you.

Those are empty calories with no nutritional value and it’s one of the reasons everyone is so fat in America. So how do you avoid high-fructose corn syrup and other nasty artificial sugars?
