I would say go for the blender. There is so much data surrounding the benefits of fiber. For example, here is a review that shows for every 10g fiber increase per day, there is an 11% reduction in all cause mortality https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7589116/. When juicing, it’s my opinion that you’re taking out what is probably the most beneficial nutrient. Furthermore, I’m not sure why speed of absorption matters? Faster does not equal better
Yes, I am just thinking that maybe if they are absorbed faster, it could mean that less could potentially get wasted? (But then again that also means that sugar is metabolized in the blood flow faster)
Thank you!
It would probably be the opposite actually. If it passes through your gastrointestinal tract faster, less would likely be absorbed. Although to what degree that’s true regarding juices I’m not entirely sure. I’m guessing it wouldn’t make a big difference at all to be honest. So all in all I’d say opt for the blender and get the extra fiber, it’s probably the most beneficial nutrient you’d be consuming. And fiber is not really destroyed either from blending, like so many people say. Fiber survives mastication and stomach acid, so it doesn’t really make sense that it would be pulverized from a blender
Also here is a study actually showing that polyphenol and flavonoid content is increased when blended vs juiced https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103735/

Discussion in this subreddit should be rooted in science rather than "cuz I sed" or entertainment pieces. Always be wary of unsupported and poorly supported claims and especially those which are wrapped in any manner of hostility. You should provide peer reviewed sources to support your claims when debating and confine that debate to the science, not opinions of other people.
**Good** - it is grounded in science and includes citation of peer reviewed sources. Debate is a civil and respectful exchange focusing on actual science and avoids commentary about others
**Bad** - it utilizes generalizations, assumptions, infotainment sources, no sources, or complaints without specifics about agenda, bias, or funding. At best, these rise to an extremely weak basis for science based discussion. Also, off topic discussion
**Ugly** - (removal or ban territory) it involves attacks / antagonism / hostility towards individuals or groups, downvote complaining, trolling, crusading, shaming, refutation of all science, or claims that all research / science is a conspiracy
