Breville Juice Fountain Elite Featured in ``The Raw Food Detox Diet;'' Product Receives Top Marks by Author.

NEW YORK -- Beautifully designed for a healthier lifestyle, Breville, a worldwide leader of small appliances, introduced their newly designed, high-powered juicer, the Juice Fountain Elite this year.

In her recently launched book, The Raw Food Detox Diet, Natalia Rose, a certified clinical nutritionist, features the Breville Juice Fountain Elite as a beautiful and highly functional appliance perfect for a healthy lifestyle. Rose says she is impressed with the speed of Breville's juicer as well as the high yield it produces. Additionally she states, "I use the Juice Fountain Elite every day. Its capabilities fit perfectly into my busy and healthy lifestyle and the product is stylish enough for me to leave on my counter for every day use."

Rose has worked with some of the world's most body-conscious men and women, including models, actors, and media personalities. In her new book, Rose provides her simple, proven five-level diet plan to safely make the transition to eating raw foods, and to detoxify and achieve a perfect body no matter how you eat now.

In her book, Rose states that "juicing is a key component of the raw food lifestyle." She continues saying that she "firmly believes that juicing a minimum of 12 ounces of organic green vegetables daily (as in the Green Lemonade recipe in the book) eliminates all need for taking vitamin supplements -- specifically when used in conjunction with a diet of mainly natural foods. Juice fasting is also a very useful tool for triggering deep internal healing in the body. Organic fruit and vegetable juice delivers incomparable amounts of vitamins, minerals and powerful, life-generating and cell-building enzymes. And they're delicious!"

Housed in brushed stainless die-cast steel, the Juice Fountain Elite is a beautiful and functional appliance perfectly designed to fit a healthy lifestyle. According to Scott Brady, vice president, sales and marketing, Breville, "We are pleased to be included in Natalia's new book. The Juice Fountain Elite is capable of juicing an eight-ounce glass of juice in less than five seconds. It is a perfect tool for a raw foods diet or anyone seeking a healthier lifestyle."

The Juice Fountain Elite features an efficient Italian made motor that increases power under yield to maintain filter revolutions. With two speeds for soft and hard fruits and vegetables, the 1,000-watt motor (1.33 horsepower) runs at 13,000 rpm at high speed and 6,500 rpm at low speed. The 3-inch circular stainless steel feed tube allows simple and efficient processing of whole fruits and vegetables minimizing preparation and feeding time. The patented dual-action, diagonal knife blades are encased by a titanium cutting disc which features 115 knives to grind pulp into the tiniest particles. The stainless steel 'micro-mesh' filter features over 40,000 strainer pores ensuring maximum juicing efficiency. The dishwasher-safe parts offer an easy clean-up solution.

A second Breville product perfectly designed for today's healthy lifestyle is the Citrus Press. The Citrus Press is designed for ultimate ease-of-use with maximum juice extraction. The patented Active Arm juicing technology combined with the innovative die cast cone enables swift juicing of any size citrus fruit. The sleek die-cast metal, brushed stainless steel design offers updated sophistication to the traditional citrus juicers. Breville's Citrus Press offers two stainless steel juicing filters that allow variable pulp control. The patented juicing arm with a soft grip handle facilitates effortless juicing. The drip stop juice spout and removable fruit dome ensures no mess and easy clean-up.

The Juice Fountain Elite and the Citrus press are ideal appliances for today's health conscious cook who desires superior design and function in their kitchen. The Juice Fountain Elite and The Citrus Press will be available in specialty and department stores throughout the United States this year and will retail at $399.00 and $199.99 respectively.
