Dear Cherie,

I have a question for you.  We know that heating fruits or veggies
destroys the delicat vitamins and enzymes...I put fruit in a blender and
them freeze the liquid pulp as ice cubes, later producing smoothies with
apple cider or orange juice.  The question is:  Am I preserving the
vitamins by freezing these fruits?
