Squeezed: What you don't know about orange juice-video

[Guest guest]

http://www.therealfoodchannel.com/page/36.html"Fresh" and "pure"?

One of the great scams of the industrial food cartel is the so-called "fresh" orange juice sold in supermarkets.

 

This one particularly galls me because for years when I was dirt poor

and had very few food choices, I thought I was doing a healthy thing by

buying "fresh" orange juice from Tropicana.

 

Alissa Hamiliton has written a new book on the subject called "Squeezed: What You Don't Know About Orange Juice."

 

Some reality checks:

 

1. There is more vitamin c in a single orange than in a full glass of industrial orange juice

 

2. Truly fresh orange juice only last a few days. It if last for weeks (or months), it's an industrial product.

 

3. 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.
