Reality Check - The Facts:
- There is more vitamin c in a single orange than in a full glass of industrial orange juice.
- Truly fresh orange juice only last a few days. It if last for weeks (or months), it's an industrial product.
- Until the Florida orange growers launched a campaign in the early 20th century to deal with their surplus crop, the only people who drank orange juice were Floridians who had a tree in their backyard. There is nothing particularly healthy or natural about drinking orange juice - and the industrial product is a total waste of money.

Just more highly processed sugar to fuel your road trip to diabetes.
Drink up America!

Does this apply to USDA Certified Organic juices too?

Correction – she said that she did NOT say that sugar is added!!!
I was disappointed that they did not talk about frozen orange juice.

This just reinforces a key to healthy living – eating food as close to the natural source as possible (raw, steamed, minimally process) – is your best source for highest nutrition, immunity system strengthing, and total wellness.

All sounds great to me! So, they process the orange juice in order for it to keep longer – which means we can drink it all year long instead of for a couple months a year. But then, uh oh! they replace some of the stuff that was lost in processing with… stuff extracted from actual oranges! the horror!
and what’s up with those facts, #3 is just dumb, but the other two are irrelevant health-wise.

I wish I could say I’m shocked, or even surprised. But sadly, I’m not… just disappointed in the food and beverage industry, again.
