If I put a whole apple with its skin or raspberry with its seed, or orange in a mixer-grinder, how or when exactly do I lose the skin, seeds or membranes during the process of making juice?

I think they are talking about the more common process of leaving out the pulp and only serving the liquid.

Wouldn't that be a smoothie? I'm curious about the difference with just eating the fruit.

I've heard some claims that blending would break up the fruit in too small many pieces leading to sugars that absorb more quickly - but I've never seen anything to back these claims.

One difference is of course that when you eat the fruit, you chew it. This takes time and this may give some "food coming, hunger over" signal to the brain. Smoothies are so easy to drink that you might be getting way more fruits than you would normally eat.

What is the problem with rapid metabolism? Isn't that a good thing, so long as you have the varied nutrients to ensure the long tail of metabolism? E.g. A mixture of fructose, glucose, and more complex carbohydrates.

How does this compare to the lady in the very first part of the article who drank freshly squeezed juice?

What you're doing is not "freshly squeezed".

Why what I am doing is not freshly squeezed? What is it then?

Not a native English speaker, so trying to understand the difference​.
