The flavor packs crap was obvious Bologna…. Most of us do not have berry patches either. Personally, make my own juice, with a press, mostly organic veg, some fruit. But seriously judging others for the occasional glass of orange juice,when they are trying to to what is best, and suggesting they make an unrealistic substitution is silly.
Which kind of press, if kindly you would let us know? Nutrient-retaining, yet cost-effective options are always good to know about.
Until we actually tackle the real issues of the fucked up FDA and its bullshit low standards towards our foods livestock. The inhumanity and unsanitary conditions that these blessings of creatures we put though — The Gifts of Sacrifice and yet Americans are misinformed and lied too every day from our government and the media. Sick animals.
Equallys sick peoples. And, we discuss stupid emails and ass grabbing. The Real B-real: Thank you for having a spine. Thank you for not being soft, apologetic. Thank you for being mad, assertive, and putting your foot down, unlike others.
That is the attitude we NEED. Thanks much. That is the same reason I buy… bought simply Orange, I thought I was getting something good. The stuff in the freezer is going on Craigslist now.
Yeah, we never touch that stuff. Yeah, it would be nice if the labels were HONEST, not just sticking to the letter of some law written in twisty lawyer language but actually being fully honest and up front about the contents. I just try to stick with whole foods, organic when possible, locally grown when possible, and in general attempting to get nothing but the real thing. NOT easy! If I could afford a juicer or one of those Vitamix thingies that have been mentioned…. The rest of the population watches Survivor, Jerry Springer and Dr.
They have voted for Bush and even worse Obama twice in presidential elections. They think that government spending more than taxing is sustainable, as well as applying that to their own personal lives and living of credit cards. Love the way yahoo recycles 3 year old articles and puts them up in the headlines. Anything in excess can kill you. If you want to live longer.. Well, I stopped drinking juice long ago anyway. But this is something horrible that i never even knew before!
Veronica, Now you know why to stay away from concentrates?? Forget about the orange juice and eat the orange! You not only get a REAL orange favor but you get fiber as well. Does this include organic brands as well? My husband is pretty dead set in his ways. I could set my watch to him.
He has to have his glass of orange juice with breakfast. Angie, I would say this goes for most major label organic brands as well. This is simply the by-product of scaling up and trying to provide a seasonally limited food year round.
Is juice from concentrate de-aerated or simply frozen? Yes, I know they use frozen juice as an excuse to add stuff to it anyway, and juice from concentrate loses flavor anyhow. Apparently people think we need these additives. I was hoping the author would mention the huge and organized ad campaign that went to convince Americans to drink orange juice for breakfast. Everything about our lifestyle was generated by marketing execs in the s.
All orange juices will go terribly rancid in about 4 to 6 hours after making, making it totally unpalatable think of taste of milk gone bad. What is left is a milky-white sugar water which is pumped into million gallon storage tanks, where it sits for up to 1 year, awaiting am order for orange juice. All OJ is garbage. Drink juice without fiber and your blood sugars and insulin jumps just thinking about it. Excess juice consumption leads to obesity and in extreme cases, can cause liver failure.
The fructose in orange juice is a chronic liver toxin see Dr. It tastes awesome most of the time. And it keeps longer than 6 hours. About a week or so. As the years went by, the more I gave, the more he took. At some point you are going to resent them not taking some responsibility for themselves. Thanks for the post. It helps point out the considerable degree to which we humans are enormously gullible and vulnerable. Would it be too paranoid to consider the notion that perhaps the grocery store is not our friend?
I see. We drink no juice either, sometimes treat ourselves to locally pressed fresh apple cider in the fall, but this just blew my mind! Very interesting, I always wondered why the juice in cartons lacked flavor. I no longer buy fruit juice. I add a carrot also just for even more nutrition. It is delicious! You lucky dog! Try not to break a container tho.
I almost had a come apart. LOL Looked on ebay….. Luckily I found mine. Yeah, VitaMix is the way to go! Blend whole fruits and vegetables. I never use my juicer anymore. Elizabeth — I just answered a similar question in the comments on the actual post. Do you know of any that are good and trustworthy? Just checked with them and they say they do not add anything frangrance, flavor packs back into the juice. You can call them at and have them explain it to you. The more I read the more I am glad that we have the option to make our own!
Alot of juice makers put things in it to keep it from separating. I still think that fresh-squeezed juice tastes better. I have at least convinced Mom to buy not from concentrate, all natural, often organic.
So I looked on the back of the bottle. Which I feel is perfectly fine for a juice you might have a glass or two of a day. SO much better than soda anyway. The first ingredient is filtered water, then not from concentrate orange juice.
Once again, we see the power of marketing. People are literally paying a company to water down their orange juice for them. And not paying half price either. Oh, Leah! Leah, they do the same thing in juices marketed to kids, especially toddlers.
If you want to be safe, only buy certified organic. You have to become a smart consumer to avoid the carefully placed wording used by the food industry to trick consumers into thinking they are paying for something they are not getting. Vote with your dollars and support certified organic companies. The more I see articles like this one the happier I am. I have always been health conscious, but I think I have put too much trust in the food labels.
I find I am now reading every line on the label in the store. Natural flavor is another scary chemical additive that is essentially just as bad for you as artificial flavor. They all come from one lab in New Jersey and even though the original flavor is natural, they tweak it with chemicals to get the flavor you want. Make your own choices and speak out! Nowadays, chemicals are found in pretty much all kinds of food. OJ has lots of vitamin C and keeps people from getting ill.
Then I might be listening. Way too many are eating unhealthy today, and that is most certainly not caused by OJ. Read Primal Body Primal Mind. You might want to recheck the sugar content of juice. It is full of it. Vitamin c does not keep you from getting ill, specifically.
That is just a myth. A balanced diet including all required vitamins and nutrients, healthy lifestyle, sleep regularity and consistent exercise is what keeps you from getting buggies.
One of the duties of vitamin C is to bolster iodide symporters. White Blood Cells can equally use thyroxin or iodide both are forms of iodine to phagocytize germs and destroy them. The iodide symporter allows the WBC to concentrate the iodine many times what is found in the blood serum. So while Vitamin C may not keep one from getting ill, it might help keep a person from dying from an infection if the person is getting a proper diet.
I thought similarly when they started selling all those calorie snack packs of various junk foods. So they give you less food, more packaging, and charge you more for it? It is worse than what you are saying. In order to fool you into not noticing they are watered down they sweeten them back up with artificial sweeteners not to mention the flavor packs and fragrance. I remember when they first came out. I was in college on a choir tour doing a home-stay in Tex.
My host family had this half juice on the table for me to drink. I reached for it thinking it was my beloved Trop. I looked at the ingredients and was appalled! I asked my host-mom a nurse!
It has half the sugar and half the calories. Boo, advertising conspiracy. Boo, government non watchdogs. Boo, Boo, Boo. I am very sad. And yes I do both love and hate you for writing this article! Well, that explains why I always feel the need to water down my juice, Thanks for the info. Poisons is a little harsh.
Water is a chemical. Haha, yes, and I think that article on DHMO is about as valid as the pseudo-dangers pointed out on scare-mongering sites like this. Yes Pete, ignorance is bliss. Is the earth flat too? Just insane. Michelle, when God created man, there was no death in the world, so man did not kill and eat animals. Once sin was introduced, death was also, and man changed his diet.
Before Adam sinned, all food was perfect for his body. If we were still perfect like Adam was when he was created, this would not be a problem. All there was… was food. Regular food… meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, dairy, ACTUAL whole grains and if not whole, ground right before using them. Food comes from farms or from the wild, not from factories. The vast majority of junk in grocery stores is NOT food. I think a lot of people would stop eating some packaged products if they knew how much was done to their food.
Everything you eat is processed. What some people fail to realize is that in many cases processing makes them safer for you to eat. And I will agree that diets in this country are terrible considering the amount of excess sugar and salt. Yes, Companies like simply orange mislead with advertising. However, chemistry and chemicals are not always bad as it seems so many on this site have assumed. Pastuerization actually makes milk LESS safe. All milk, once opened, is subject to bacterial contamination.
Listeria and other baddies grows MUCH faster in pastuerized milk than raw milk. It is becoming glaringly obvious anymore that there is absolutely nothing… yes, I said nothing worth spending my money on at the grocery stores! I still find frozen, wild caught seafood at Wally World. I also bought the pints of raw oysters when I could find them. I would imagine all juices would need this type of process described to prevent this from happening on the store shelves.
Wow, I had NO idea about this! And disturbing! Much appreciation! No more juice for me! I am going to join those who drink water with their meals and in between meals. All and only fresh home squeezed here. They may come at you with torches and pitchforks! Are you being sensored?! I actually love the boldness of these articles, please keep it up! Because you could pose this same exact question to all liquids and even foods such as milk, beer, wine, etc..
Having the juice is such large vats that is required for large scale production is also going to yield a much more consistent flavor. Because when you think about it, even WITH adding in the extra chemical flavorings you will still get a slightly different end tasting product depending on the oranges that are used.
And FTR I do notice a difference in cartons from time to time, especially the ones that have added calcium and vit. Just my. Taste just like an orange.
I used to buy juice for my husband when we were first married. Eventually I got out of the habit of buying it at all. Thanks again, kept your post going…. Thanks for the article. It explains a lot. Now I know why.
Do these flavor packets have any qualities known to be detrimental to human health? The bigger question is, do they have anything in them to promote human health, you know, like all the advertisements say they do…. Well if the flavor packs were detrimental to health that would not stop the manufacturers from lying or ignoring the science — and doing it with total acceptance from the federal government. I would be more worried about the high amount of sugar in most juices.
My dad works in the flavor industry and makes these sort of things regularly. Hannah, I appreciate your comment. I think what bugs me the most about the flavor industry is that they manufacture flavor for otherwise flavorless or unpalatable foods. Definitely a valid point, and I fully agree!
Maybe an alternative would be to push for orange juice to only be available in season? Then there would be no need for elaborate storage and re-processing techniques. Good luck with that! Love the post! Your comment about being unable to imagine us EVER going back to seasonal foods barring a major shift in the way our society thinks about food — I can easily imagine us going back to a seasonal, local food supply, and not by choice.
In fact, it may be coming to us sooner than most people think — we went through major supply disruptions this past winter for fruits and fresh produce here in South Dakota.
At 10 calories of fossil fuel for every 1 calorie of food, it gets expensive once fuel prices spiral upwards again — and they will, soon. Additionally, look at the way these premium orange juices are marketed..
A big, fat, legal lie. The FDA allows it to be used on foods with no added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances. This is not the dictionary definition of natural! My concern is more along the lines of deceitful product labeling. Use some common sense people. Is it truly impossible for someone to have a differing opinion from you without being paid by a large corporation?
These juices are the real deal — they have shorter expiry dates than the supermarket brands, and you feel good after drinking a glass. Good point about the high dose of sugars we get from juice though. Probably best in moderation, or diluted with more water. It is a liquid sugar solution, it ought to grow bacteria very well. I could have done without knowing this. Is there a single food sold in the stores today that you can trust to know whats in it???
PS — Juices really are not the best way of consuming fruits. Although it will always be healthier than any soda. Normally we are a no juice family; however, the past few months I have been craving grapefruit juice—so I caved and have been drinking some of that. I too always water it down, but how yuck!
This is interesting to know. I ask for orange juice out of season and this is how they get it to me. Why do you advice against using all orange juice from the store? Yeah, but…Why are you getting upset about these substances? Wow, what a loaded phrase! It sounds like these are substances that have been used as flavorings for years, so there have to have been lots of studies about how safe they are.
I have a very hard time trusting any testing the FDA imposes. They merely say…company 1 do this testing…company 1 produces their own independent results and the FDA files it away. The FDA is relying on the company to be responsible and the company is relying on the FDA to keep them in line…therefore, no one is really keeping the other accountable. And due to the lack of funding and staffing for the FDA this will not change anytime soon.
The average person cannot read a single research study and accurately state what it did or did not prove. This made me curious. Since I was a PhD candidate in biochemistry at the time, I spent a week in the library reading the blood glucose profiles of normal, T1 and T2 diabetics eating carb, protein, fat and various mixtures this was before bG meters were commonly available.
In the case of diabetics, the lid was blown once we got bG meters and could see for ourselves what various foods did to us. The issue is that we live in a country where food is constantly being modified for good or ill without our knowledge. Milk or water for us or homemade iced tea, in the summer. Now I have another reason to do so. Lori Laurel of Leaves — I think J had an honest question.
You do realize that the milk that you buy in the store is also very different than what comes out of the cow, right? More palatable, perhaps. Not all milk is processed. Real, raw milk comes out of the cow and goes into the jug. And my children do drink it. And probably goat milk and other types of milk, too. And so does mine. Unlike most US children, who have no idea that the dead white liquid in the plastic jug actually came from anywhere but the factory where they completely altered the nutritional value and molecular structure of the previously healthy living food.
Besides, many other animals would drink cow milk if they were smart enough to get the cow to stand still long enough. And some do find ways! Where do you get that idea? Raw milk fresh from the grass fed cow and cold chilled is the best tasting thing ever! More kids would drink milk if they had access to good milk and not that store bought crap.
It is like saying Cremora actually tastes better than cream! Or margarine is really yummier than butter! A really awesome researched article! A remeber reading an article on harmful effects of soap and why we really dont need it. All a business cares about is money. They just dont give a damn to the slow poison they are feeding to kids. Not sure when this endless hunger for money is going to end.
I remember reading like 20 articles on why soap is a good thing. What do you think most doctors say? Sure, businesses care about money. And they also absolutely care if their business is killing kids. And nothing at all in this article is saying that this is poison or is killing kids. Those are human trials here in this country. They took diving boards out of public schools for fear of lawsuits. How is THAT good for children?
Ummm… yeah, corporations are perfectly willing to KILL kids for money. Look up the Nestle boycott, where they prefer making money over not killing third world children. On the bright side, Hershey is only willing to enslave children for their profits, not actively kill them. Why am I drinking juice? Because it tastes good, and gives me water and sugar when I feel the need for it. The thing with the flavour packs is weird because of the amount of work that goes into it when compared to just making the juice.
Very interesting but not very surprising. I decided never to give my daughter juice for as long as we could get away with it.
I must admit my reasons were simpler, but now I feel even better about my decision. Weird, I knew about this in bits and pieces but never put it together. I recall asking my grandmother how we could get orange juice year round and she said they either froze it or vacuum packed it.
Vacuum packing is de-aeration. Her job was to skim the rats off the top of the vats of juice that were being reconstituted. I never really considered how the juice was processed that it would need to be reconstituted. Omg… did you say skim the RATS? I might be sick!
Yes, I mean rats. After the orange juice was pasteurized it had to cool, and they did it in open vats. What I find interesting is that everyone is getting all worked up about whether or not the orange juice has added chemicals, and whether or not these chemicals are bad for us. What about the fact that juice is pasteurized?
People drink juice for the antioxidants, but when you pasteurize the juice, you lose the antioxidants. Thank you, some one is finally thinking outside the box… another point is all the enzymes are killed, some minerals too. The list probably goes on, the point is eat them fresh or squeeze them fresh!
But it is really not going to effect mineral content at all. The articled ended basically saying that if your trying to be healthy juice is a bad choice anyways all that liquid sugar your consuming. Is this really going to affect the juice that people buy? Its still the same juice, same nutritional content, same flavor as you are used to but a different process in which you assumed it was made. If we found that this process affected peoples health, then that would be something to be shocked about.
Excellent article. Cook it and eat it fresh. Who cares about the flavor packs or manipulation? So, many people believe, we need research to show that it IS okay. Yes, yes I can believe that. I get that response from much of my family when I point out the dangers of the food they eat.
With all the addictive nonfood ingredients. Also, like a smoker, inhalation of smoke is damaging, depletes of water, inhibits mineral absorption, do they care? Meh, when its convenient. Thanks for the encouragement! I was just saying this today about how there are people who simple do not want to be bothered with the facts.
I feel that we are all beings that must do our part and help one another when we can. But first and foremost I believe we must take care of ourselves and then we can help those that we are able to. So it is my stance that for those who do not care or want to know the facts — fine — but do not block or interfere with the information and messages of people that do want this material. I realized how frustrating it has become in my own life and career in healthcare when people want to debate.
I am here to teach; as I learn I teach. We are ever changing and so is information. We must simply remain conscious that is all. Keep this information alive and flowing because we DO need it. It is infuriating. I have so many major issues with the FDA and what they get away with not disclosing vs the way they handle real food.
The FDA needs to be seriously scaled back and their mission needs to be redefined as they have their noses in a lot of things outside of food and drug safety.
And they are failing us. I tell you, some days I want to give up and just stop eating. BUT they buy everything else at the grocery store and try to make the best decisions they can with what the store carries. Sometimes this friend would walk into the store to buy groceries… and walk out with nothing an hour later in frustration. She had to send her husband to buy their essentials because she was too avid a label reader and too knowledgeable about how food is processed to feel good about ANY of her choices.
I hate that it comes down to that. I am 22 and in college. I hate that our own government is not here to protect us. I feel like we need to start a support group around here. How do we not let trying to provide a healthier lifestyle for ourselves and our families stress us out? My brother-in-law is like that. Forget managing it; cure it like so many others have! Thanks for this thread!
They were verging on violent, as if they wanted to tear the heads off of anyone who chooses to discern ethics from complacency. I was just an observer of comments and chose not to participate, however, I am reminded once again that indeed the only thing we can do is provide the info and set the example.
Keep up the amazing work, even amongst the negatives. But when confronted with truth, often the response is emotionally based. It is so frustrating! Mainly strawberries and bananas…. I am the one that gets laughed at as I try to make changes to our diet from processed to whole, organic. When I bring up things they roll their eyes. I just dont get why you need a study to tell you that drinking perfume is not ok.
Let me get this correct. Taking a couple of whole oranges, putting them in a blender and straining the juice and drinking it is like drinking perfume? My website is StartYourPlanToday. I learned about one of these plants that make flavors and the chemicals used to make them, its really scary stuff! Interesting information, but in reality, most Americans will not benefit from it. We are a family of 6, four kids in college all of them working part-time to help with tuition.
My husband managed to keep his job by accepting a transfer to a city 53 miles away. His salary was trimmed to 39,00 per year; I recently became unemployed. Organic vegetables and fruits, dairy products and meats, not to mention grains, are WAY beyond our budget. We have no suitable space for gardening and livestock is not allowed by local zoning ordinances. Yes, I shop at the evil, evil local grocer and no, I am not ashamed to do so.
Kombucha certainly looks fascinating. Also, since you seem to have put some thought into this and run the numbers, try and see if changing one or two things might be feasible. Can you change only your milk? Or cut down on fizzy drinks? Every small step helps, and a diet with only one or two healthy components is still a couple of steps ahead of one with none at all. Not really sure what you are arguing about.
And no one is saying grocery stores are evil and you should even be ashamed to go to them. We have to eat, we have to survive, we do what we have to do to make that happen. But making a decision to do that the best way possible is what counts. She emphasizes baby steps. You should check it out, it helped me a lot.
Kristen M. Great column. I drink a lot of orange juice and V8 juice. Will have to rethink the fruit juices! Thanks in advance for any insight! So the oxygen is removed to prevent bacterial growth, but also accidentally removes the flavour molecules. Then the flavour is added back by extracting it from oranges.
I fail to see which part of this I should be panicking about. That which you romanticise as nature is still chemistry.
I can see where my language may have been confusing. Long time readers of my site know that I love science, even if I believe that nutrition science is still in its infancy.
Truly, truly disturbing. This article only presents a narrow view of this. There is nothing wrong with drinking water. Grass is not healthy and much to hard for humans to digest.
There is real food. Meat raised on grass or pastured, eggs from hens that eat bugs and weeds, there actual milk straight from a cow, butter made from actual cream, vegetables, fruit, even actual whole unground grains.
Today, I had homemade juice when I woke, then a cup of coffee. For breakfast, I had scrambled eggs and yogurt REAL yogurt, made from milk and cultures and nothing else flavored with honey. Afternoon snack was a cup of homemade chicken broth with coconut cream stirred in. Dinner will be grass-fed pot roast slow-cooked with carrots and onions in real homemade broth, red wine and rosemary I made a BIG batch on Sunday. Back then, there was no industrialized food production system making cheap orange juice year-round; there were oranges at Christmas as a special treat.
Nice post. The problem is that every method that prevents OJ from turning into brown rotten slop also strips it of flavor pasteurization, concentrating, etc. Hence the science project of reproducing the lost flavors using essence and flavoring. Fresh-squeezed is the best way to go, and worth the inconvenience.
I did a blind-tasting for a group of friends between fresh-squeezed and a high-dollar packaged brand and everyone was stunned at how superior the fresh stuff was. Pretty interesting article. Especially the flavor part learning that it is made from an Orange initially. That is not a lie, but the information about the transformation has not been said and well that could influence the end product. Then we should ask ourself… is there information we are missing in our food labelling law?
I guess it all depends of the law. Law are created, law changes over time. Now as the article say: if we only extract a part of the initial food product, then we are missing other parts of it. If we suppose that these food are naturally perfect which I cannot say , then we are breaking a perfect food. It all depends how you define perfect.
Great reply, Kirsten. Please know we appreciate your time and what you give to us — and the time you save US in research! I think you need to check the website you came to. If you read an article about artificial sweetener, msg, etc it all fits together in the end. Just sit back and take the information in. Is it just OJ or all juice?
And what about the organic that comes not refrigerated and in glass bottles? Really useful and helpful article. Thank you! I would have never known or even thought to suspect that this kind of thing was going on. Very interesting information. The fact that it has been processed has no bearing on it, unless you have clear cut evidence of health differences. While I agree with your statement about the increased calories due to the concentration of sugar, the rest of the post is more of a food philosophy position than a reality based one.
Unless you show us data. At the moment it seems that there is no difference actually. You are being fooled by the framing of the article you liked to.
Namely, when you buy organic you avoid ingesting carcinogens, hormone disruptors, neurological toxins, etc. Children are especially susceptible to the harmful effects of pesticide residues due to their lower body mass, rapid development, and higher rates of consumption of affected products.
In children, exposure to certain pesticides from residues in food can cause delayed development; disruptions to the reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems; certain types of cancer; and damage to other organs.
FPrenatal exposure to certain pesticides can affect cognitive development and behavior. Several studies have found that pesticide levels in children dropped to low or undetectable levels when test subjects consumed an organic diet.
It really is that simple. A couple things came to mind. I see that it takes 2. Many alcoholic beverages are mixed to create the desired flavor and make a consistent product. Why should producers of orange juice not do this? All the special work required raises the cost of the final product. I like the sweetness of some brands and I trust the pulp. That strikes me as very much a part of the industrial revolution of food, and not part of traditional cuisine at all.
The parenthetical! MSG is an excitotoxin…sure you want a lot of that in your system? Naturally occurring is one thing, adulterating food with a product to make one think it is tastier than it normally is in its natural state is not natural at all. You can call it what you like; product tampering seems to fit for me. Who cares? You state yourself that it has the real orange concentrate in it, albeit it is flavorless. We like the taste, right?
But why do they need to be if the product is quality and it is proven to be harmless? If you want real juice, make it. If you want convenience and a reliable product, buy orange juice. And yet, you talk about making your own lemonade above. I wonder if I should just go cold turkey on her. Any tips would really help. It tastes like sparkling juice. I suggest adding water to the juice to dilute it, gradually increasing the ratio of water to juice as well as providing alternatives as Ann Marie suggested.
Sometimes we put frozen blueberries into water like ice cubes or other fun things. My 4 year old likes to drink herbal teas. Fruity ones give a lot of color. Also moving to making your own juice is a huge improvement over the store juice. This sort of thing drives me nuts!! I have a child with many severe food allergies. She is very sensitive to lots of things. I will buy orange juice about twice a year on special occasions and mix it with plain seltzer for the kids.
The last time I did this she reacted to it. But she is fine with oranges. If I want to do this in the future I will juice my own. Thanks so much for this post. The issue is informing and educating people. Personally, I think that orange juice advertising and packaging is highly misleading. There are many substances that are not adequately tested, and are only taken off the market when a problem arises.
The toy industry operates in much the same way. So could this actually be an argument FOR concentrated juice? Buy the fruit and squeeze the juice into a glass. Got it. Thank You for the article and insight. That totally makes sense! The part I disagree with is what you said about juicing in general. Juicing is extremely healthy.
In order to eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables each day, one would have to be eating practically all day. I juice every breakfast and dinner, and have never felt better! Wow, be more inaccurate in your article. For one thing, you cite other blogs, bastions of insight into the food industry and completely unbiased, as your sources.
No one in the industry calls them flavor packs. You mention throwing away years of development and advances that protect, feed and nourish you. Oh wait? There are simply too many people to not have this system in place. How do you think we got to the size we are today? Building on top of this, yes, make your own juice. Go ahead. As you said, it takes apples to make one glass of apple juice.
So after buying all that and taking the time to do so, what are you going to with all the pulp and leftover waste? But most everyone else will throw it away. Do you know that the industry puts everything they get from fruit to work? They are simply extracted. Do you even realize that food IS chemicals?
No matter what you eat, it is full of scary sounding chemicals. The way the OJ producers do what they do is a necessity. For a universally homogeneous product, lower costs and to avoid any crop related issues.
Again, you are very uninformed and rely on applying scare tactics e. Oh noes, chemicals! Yet another case of giving people a voice when their voice should not be listened to. Wow, you really believe Americans are healthy? Wake up! Preach on brother. People fear what they do not understand. It describes this exact process. What a shocker!
The entire process is subject to government oversight, which means it is all public information. You might be shocked to find that concentrating juice is actually a GREEN concept as it reduces the amount of energy used to store and transport the juice. When you are talking about millions upon millions of gallons of juice, that turns into a LARGE amount of energy very quickly.
The documents are full of points such as this, but you have to do more that just read a few paragraphs on a blog to fully understand.
She is making a point known that many consumers are unaware of. Any responsible person will search into the matter and not just take every single thing — from you, her, or anyone else — at face value. However, she cites a book published by Yale University Press.
A little bit of both, actually. Thanks for these articles. So interesting to read. It is so easy to leave the blinkers on and not worry. I have three little kids, so i am constantly reading labels and am aware of the traps. I get really angry at what these companies think is ok to feed humans!! But, it comes down to us. We have a choice.
When we buy a product we are saying it is ok that you do what you do. Lets make good choices Look forward to reading more. So what does go into a bottle of Sunny D? And seeing as how peanut allergies can sometimes be incredibly serious, and fatal at times, this is certainly a recall worth bringing to your attention. What Nestle products are part of the food recall The items subject to the The elusive cloudberry fruit is part of the Rosaceae classification, a family of perennial flowering plant species that also includes blackberries, cherries, almonds, ornamental roses, and apples among many others via Encyclopedia.
This small amber-colored fruit is similar in size to a raspberry and shaped like a blackberry with a similar tart taste. They are usually found in arctic regions where Eskimos have been known to collect them in the fall and store them for a food supply in the winter, according to Britannica.
Like Comment Share. The lawsuit, filed in late August by Anita Harris in the U. In my opinion, they are just so much more fun to drink out of. Every sip feels like a step back in time and from an aesthetic perspective, glass bottles are just gorgeous. Put a plastic bottle of root beer or Dr. Pepper or heaven forbid, an aluminum can and a glass bottle side-by-side and tell me which one is more pleasing to the eye. Looks aside, is there a real reason why people love drinking soda out of glass bottles?
Science says yes. We Tasted 75 Drinks from 25 Brands to Find the Best Sparkling Water, Period Over the last decade, the colorful zig-zag pattern of La Croix cans have steadily replaced the familiar gray cans of Diet Coke in home refrigerators, on office desks, and in popular culture including the hands of characters on television shows like Shrill and The L Word.
