Disappointed

Ailz- who has been educating herself on the skulduggery perpetrated by food companies and supermarkets- tells me the "fresh" orange juice I drink for breakfast contains as much sugar as coca-cola and is quite as worthless nutritionally. "Basically, just sugar water," she says.

And I thought I was doing myself so much good...

Even then the fact that you are taking out the fibre makes it sugar water - with a nice flavour - fructose needs the fibre to work healthily. Which is part of the problem for obesity - lots of glucose/fructose and very little fibre.

Yes, I know. And that's why I say that here in Spain, many people juice the oranges and then eat the remaining pulp from those oranges. I peel and eat the oranges from our trees but some people are too fussy about getting their fingers sticky. LOL
