Any fact to this? Orange Juice has about 120 calories as I recall. It causes your blood sugar to rise very quickly resulting in a large insulin release. Insulin and blood sugar are the primary ingredients in causing aging and disease and both signal cells in the body to build up stores of sugar and trigs. I personally avoid all juices, sodas, and anything with added sugar. Unsweetened coffee or tea is preferable by far and one can sweeten those items with the natural sweetener, Stevia. I have a cup of raw organic cocoa every morning and sweeten it with stevia. While cocoa is a carb, it is extremely high in fiber and many recent studies tout the significant benefits of cocoa which often outweigh the negatives of it's added sugar content in process candies. I wanted it's benefit it the most available form and without any sugar added. If I was a coffee drinker, I'd look for a raw organic version with minimal processing. -- Pramesh Rutaji p297tongue6221(a)newsguy.com - remove tongue to reply

Yes, orange juice contains a lot of sugar, and when people squeezed their own, an ordinary serving size was much smaller than a cup, usually about three or four fluid ounces. Taking it on an empty stomach, even at the beginning of a meal, causes a quick release of insulin and cortisol, which is problematic in a number of ways. Beginning meals with sugar is a good habit to break. -- Marshall Price of Miami Known to Yahoo as d021317c

Processed with added sugar is not the best choice but many elements in freshly squeezed outweigh those few grams of sugar. Having a few grams of sugar in well balanced diet is no harm. 1. Protection against Cardiovascular Disease 2. Long-Acting Liminoids in Citrus Add to Their Ability to Promote Optimal Health 3.Possible Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits 4.Prevent Kidney Stones 5. Help Prevent Ulcers and Reduce Risk for Stomach Cancer 6.Protection Against Rheumatoid Arthritis 7. In recent research studies, the healing properties of oranges have been associated with a wide variety of phytonutrient compounds. and many more so your assumption not to drink because it contains sugar is more than faulty, probably you get more sugar from the rest of diet you do not realize even

I used to run 5+ miles on hills 5*/week even though winter and rain. I squeezed myself 3 oranges, a grape and a lime every time after I ran. I didn't get sick for 3 years in a row, despite most of my coworkers having flu every winter. I live near the Alps. I probably overdid it, but, at that time, I trained real hard and also smoked. Smoking reduces your vitamin C levels, so... It had no side effects on me. Now I have the same amount 2-3 times a week maybe, or when I feel I need it. I am still an active runner though. |
