Hi GC,

Perhaps Dr. Graham will be able to weigh in on the shortness of breath issue, but I thought I'd just throw out there that he does not recommend juicing. Perhaps try blending instead (in order to retain the fiber) and see how that works for you.

"It is . . . important to eat fruit whole, not juiced, as the fiber in fruit slows sugar absorption to its natural speed. In all cases and with all foods, whole, fresh, ripe, raw, and unprocessed is the way to go." The 80-10-10 Diet, p. 30

"With a few exceptions, it is preferable to consume the whole foods rather than to extract and drink part of them. Drinking fruit or vegetable juice without the pulp being present to slow the absorption rate of the nutrients can spike the blood sugar and throw your blood chemistry out of balance. . . . Liquefying a blender full of whole fruit turns it into a thick smoothie, while keeping the entire nutritional package together." The 80-10-10 Diet, pp. 259-60

Just a thought! :)
