Juicing "Mastication Style" separates the chemicals/pesticides from the juice??

Hello Sara, on your webpage "to pulp or not to pulp" you state:
"
I don't normally buy organic fruits/vegetables as the juicer is able to separate the chemicals/pesticides from the juice. Therefore, the pulp left behind would have chemicals and pesticides. A centrifugal juicer cannot do this."
Please tell me how this seperation is accomplished. I really am interested in the process.
Thanks,
Gery
From Sara:Gery, there is nothing so mysterious about how the gear juicer separates the chemical/pesticides from the juice. The key is in the METHOD of extraction.
When extracting juices using a gear juicer, the method of extraction by mastication crushes and grinds to squeeze out the juice. This action releases the deep-seated nutrients and enzymes. At the same time it leaves the embedded chemicals untouched as they are intertwined with the fiber. The chemicals that had become resistant to breakdown are being expelled together with the pulp which we dispose.
I explained in more detail here, how a gear juicer is able to minimize chemicals/pesticides from your juice.
