Get juiced up! Commercial orange juice is not fresh orange juice.

Orange juice is good for you expecially during cold season because it is rich in Vitamin C, so  you grab a bottle of orange juice at the store and you feel immediately better! You grab the most natural, organic bottle of orange juice, the kind that says "100% juice" "Fresh squeezed" "not made from concentrate" and you feel healthy than ever! But have you ever wondered why every glass has exactly the same taste?
According to Mercola.com :
" For industrially-produced orange juice, after the oranges are squeezed, the juice is stored in giant holding tanks and the oxygen is removed from them, which allows the liquid to keep for up to a year without spoiling. It also makes the juice completely flavorless. So the industry uses “flavor packs” to re-flavor the juice."
According to Food Renegade:

“Juice companies therefore hire flavor and fragrance companies ... to engineer flavor packs to add back to the juice to make it taste fresh. Flavor packs aren’t listed as an ingredient on the label because technically they are derived from orange essence and oil. Yet those in the industry will tell you that the flavor packs, whether made for reconstituted or pasteurized orange juice, resemble nothing found in nature"

According to Mrcola.com
It may come as a surprise to learn that what you find in a carton of 100% pure, not from concentrate orange juice is nothing like what you'd get if you squeezed an orange into a glass in your own kitchen. Instead, many popular orange juice brands use a chemical process to create juice that tastes and smells like oranges!

According to online encyclopedia
"A cup serving of raw, fresh orange juice, amounting to 248 g or 8 ounces, has 124 mg of vitamin C ^] It has 20.8 g of sugars and has 112 Calories. It also supplies potassium, thiamin, and folate.

Commercial squeezed orange juice is pasteurized and filtered before being evaporated under vacuum and heat. After removal of most of the water, this concentrated juice, about 65% sugar by weight, is then stored at about 10 °F (−12 °C). Essences, Vitamin C, and oils extracted during the vacuum concentration process may be added back to restore flavor."

So next time you have to the store grab a pack of oranges and an orange squeezer if you don't have one !!!!
