Subject: blender/nutrition

Question
Dear Dr. Aukerman,

It is convenient for me to have lunch from a blender.  I mix soy protein, a
variety of fruits and a little canola oil with water, and blend until smooth.  I
have heard that processing the fruits reduces the nutritive value of fruits and
vegetables.  Is that true?  Does it reduce mineral & vitamin content?  If so,
how?  If so, is there a way to blend a meal that does not compromise its
nutritive value?       Thank you so much!    Diana

Answer
I mix soy protein, Caution soy rotein leads to breast cancer, so may want to use whey dairy protein
a variety of fruits OK
little canola oil, Caution canola is omega-6 plant oil and leads to cancer and many diseases. see http://efaeducation.nih.gov for just the heart attach rate.
I have heard that processing the fruits reduces the nutritive value of fruits and vegetables.  Is that true?  Not true

Does it reduce mineral & vitamin content?  Not at all  


If so, is there a way to blend a meal that does not compromise its
nutritive value?       Thank you so much
