The Green Star GS-1000 Juicer (Formerly the Green Life juice extractor) - Using Exclusive Heavy Duty Twin Gear technology with a low 110 rpm. With their ease of use and simple clean up, Green Star Juice Extractors and Food Processors are award-winning machines of unsurpassed quality and have been around since the early 90’s.

The Green Star uses twin gears to crush the produce and expel the juice. These twin gears are made of Stainless Steel with plastic ends and are patented as they contain magnets and bioceramic materials in them. These magnets and bioceramic materials are said to extract higher levels of minerals out of the produce and also give fresher juice that’s enzymes and vitamins have a longer shelf life. The fact that the twin gears operate at a very low speed (when compared to many other juicers) also helps to considerably slow down the oxidation of nutrients. There is also virtually no or very little heat transfer thus helping in retaining enzyme content. Indeed the technology of the Green Star twin gears enables carrot juice to be stored for up to 2 days in the fridge without significant loss of nutritional value.

Twin Gear Technology

Twin Gears with its powerful triturating action, cuts and juices all fruits and vegetables including carrots, celery, leafy vegetables and wheatgrass. The unique twin gear unit features a pocket-recessed area to more easily accept fibrous vegetables and herbs, 3 separate points that cut strong fibres like celery so the appliance does not get jammed or clogged and the extremely close clearance of the twin gears at 0.1mm (4/1000 of and inch). These features combine to more easily, thoroughly and gently extract more juice, more quickly, leaving the ejected pulp drier.

More On Twin Gears

At only 110 revolutions per minute, minimal heat build up develops in the juice and therefore initial oxidation is delayed allowing more leisurely consumption while getting full nutritional benefits. A recent independent comparative study on how 5 different juicers effect juice stability showed that apples at 59.9oF juiced in a Green Power only increased in temperature a bit over 1/2 of 1 degree to 60.44oF. The other 4 juicers ranged from almost 3 1/2 degrees to over 14oF higher than the original temperature of the fruit (these machines were all of the high-speed variety).

At the core of each rotating gear is a series of in-line magnets that produce a focused magnetic field of 2600 gauss through which the juice flows during the juicing process. As it flows through the focused field, the water molecules in the juice are broken up allowing the atoms to recombine with other minerals such as calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium into new molecular structures. This magnetic process therefore extracts a greater % of mineral nutrients from the produce during juice extraction and is instrumental in keeping those minerals in a suspended colloidal form the body can use for a longer length of time.

Far Infrared is the natural resonant frequency range of water and allergenic substances including man. We call it the life force frequency. Infrared wave length ranges from .7 to 1000 microns, just beyond visible light. Far Infrared is a part of this wave length family we use in Infrared photography, mapping the earth’s surface, and guiding missiles to their target. Our skin radiates 9.36 microns Far Infrared wave which is very close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule - and rightly so since our bodies are about 70 % water. Far Infrared waves are the safest and most beneficial energy source available.

Green Power places a specially formulated bio ceramic material around the in-line magnets at the core of each twin-gear. The Bio-ceramic compound uses the mechanical energy from the turning of the twin-gears to generate Far Infrared waves that penetrate the water within the juice. Since water naturally resonates at this frequency, the water molecules not only receive the Far Infrared energy, but also radiate it, thus further stabilizing the fragile structure of the juice.

The Green Star GS-1000 can also process whole foods, making favourites like almond and date pie crusts, pates from nuts and vegetables, sauces from a vast array of ingredients, baby foods, frozen fruit desserts and more. The choice is yours.

Separating Agricultural Chemicals and Heavy Metals

Did you know that apples have usually been sprayed around 22 times before they reach the shops and commercially grown carrots are often used as a crop to "clean" the soil? The extraction method of Twin Gear Juicers gets rid of about 70 to 80% of toxic agro-chemicals and heavy metals from produce. This is one of the reasons we recommend to choose the Green Star Juice extractors or any of our Twin Gear machines. Otherwise, be sure to buy organic produce for juicing, as you don’t want a concentrated cocktail of chemicals.

The Principle of Dr. Norman Walker

The Twin Gears have the ability to remove a high level of agricultural chemicals and heavy metals through the triturating and squeezing process, according to the founder of the "Living Juice" machine - Dr Norman Walker. The principle is as follows: if leaves, stalks or roots are squashed by using steel plates, stones or wood mortars and squeezed, enveloped by hemp cloth, juice and sap penetrate and only fibre waste remains. The degree of affinity of fibre for agricultural chemicals and heavy metals is so high that they remain together with the fibre waste. This is how the Green Star’s triturating process can obtain pure extracted juice eliminating a high percentage of agricultural chemicals and heavy metals by rotating accurate Twin Gears, crushing vegetables and squeezing pulp through the fine net that acts the same as a hemp cloth.

For those seeking the best possible juicer, Twin Gear juicers are our first recommendation.

Also available as the GS3000 model with the extra attachments for bread stick, rice cakes and pasta.

Also available as the GSGOLD which has all the above attachments.

Green Star won the Gold Award of Excellence in the equipment category at the 2005 Canadian Health Food Association’s (CHFA) trade show. This marks the 2nd year in a row that Green Star has won this prestigious prize. The Alive Awards of Excellence were created twelve years ago to promote and recognize excellence in product innovation and to add credibility to natural health products. Manufacturers and suppliers were invited to enter products into 18 corresponding categories, accompanied by third-party analysis and organic certification. Retail members of the CHFA cast their votes for the best products in each category based on quality, consumer popularity, and consumer appeal. The Alive Award of Excellence is only the most recent in a long history of awards won by Green Star and Green Star Gold.
