Disappointed

[poliphilo]

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...

But surely if one has a glass of juice with breakfast, the fibres will be provided by the rest of the meal anyway - or at least they ought to be. I think you're right that we all need to pay a bit of attention to what we eat - some more than others, of course, but generally all of us. And at least here in Denmark the advice is that juice can only replace one of the recommended 6 portions of fruit and veg per day.

And in terms of preservation, preserving juice for a full year is simpler than preserving entire fruits. (Though I do like to freeze at least some of my apple bounty or using them as a base for marmalades.)
