In October 2007, An independent reviewer tested the claim that non-centrifugal juicers produce juice that lasts longer and contains more nutrients. Manufacturers claim cold-press-style machines' juice is more nutritious and that it'll stay fresh and tasty for up to 48 hours. According to the makers, the gentle, slow-turning action of a cold press machine produces a greater quantity of juice, which retains more vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytochemicals and fibre than that produced by other methods. Their argument is that high-speed centrifugal juicers heat up the juice, allow air to enter and therefore cause damage to some of the perishable nutrients.
They scored the juicers for performance & ease of use. They also tested the manufacturers' claims that juice made by cold-press-style machines is more nutritious and that it'll stay fresh and tasty for up to 48 hours.
So what was the result...

Masticating Juicers
Masticating Juicers run at a slower rate than most centrifugal juicers. Masticating juicers break down more fibre more thoroughly than centrifugal juicers to release more nutrients.
The Champion 2000+ is a Masticating Jucier.
Cold-Press Juicers
Cold-press juicers use a slow turning auger to crush or squeeze the fruit or vegetables. The pulp is then pushed through a sieve and the juice is filtered into a bowl.

The concept of living juice was first introduced by Dr. Norman Walker (1886-1985). Dr Walker declared that the enzymes in fruit and vegetables die at temperatures which exceed 50 degrees Celsius. He explained that any juice extractor that used a high-speed blade or centrifuge created friction heat leading to the destruction of enzymes. Nutritionists advise plenty of fresh, raw fruit and vegetables as essential to well-being but we only obtain the maximum benefits from them when the goodness is released …
