Hello all! I'm thinking of investing in a vita mix blender. I've
been told it's the next best machine to use on produce after
eating them raw. I'm particularly interested in the claim that
it speeds up so fast that it blends veggies into a hot soup
but the total time it takes doesn't eliminate all of the
enzymes...

I also like the idea of grinding up my own grains etc and
making smoothies but im wondering if anyone has any
opinions on this and whether I could get all of these same
results using a standard blender...

thanks!
