What does drinking orange juice do to your body?

I drink orange juice a LOT, and I know it IS good for me, but in what way?

What does drinking orange juice do to your body?
It gives you loads of calcium and can take the place of fruit (although in the long run, fruit might be a better choice because OJ has a lot of added sugar).





To clear up what the person above me said, OJ will not make you fat. He is seriously mistaken. Yes, drinking tons of it isn't good, but a couple glasses a day is fine.
Reply:Sorry to disappoint your milly but drinking lots of orange juice is not good for you atall.. that's an old myth we have been brought up on. IT is full of sugar and will make you fat and tired ( after the sugar rush ) Switch it for water and drink 2liters a day. You will feel a hell of a lot better.





Pure squeezed orange juice ( that you can buy in the shops) has been pasteurized which means its been heated up. The means that all the goodness has gone from it. And as for concentrated orange juice don't Even bother. In both cases you might as well be spoon feeding yourself sugar.





And again I can see there are others that have answered who have also been brainwashed. No Juice you buy in the super market can be considered 1 of your 5 a day... its a complete CON. For Vitamin C take a supplement





And the person who has commented below me has mis read what you said YOU CLEARLY STATED YOU DRINK LOADS OF IT MEANING THAT YOU ARE PUTTING LOADS OF SUGAR INTO YOUR SYSTEM That will turn to Fat. Read next time as you are misinformed








Hope that Helps
Reply:fresh orange is good for you its really good for vitamin C. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, which is important for the body. It helps you feel less tired, concerntrait more.


I dont think there are any harmful things in it, exept the natural sugars in oranges can cause tooth decay in teeth. So make sure you brush well. Or you could drink it through a straw if your really worried.


Fresh orange can also be high in calories.


But its still the best drink ever, and a 250ml glass counts as one of your 5 a day.
Reply:It gives you a good dose of vitamin C.
Reply:It's A good source of vitamin C
