- dalke 11y agoHow is it "much healthier"? 8 ounces of real orange juice has 21 g of sugar and 110 calories. This is about what Minute Maid orange juice has.

- ars 11y agoCalories is not the only way to measure how healthy something is. It also matters how it affects the body, and in that regards orange juice and soda are not the same. You feel much fuller after orange juice, so clearly the body recognizes it as food, unlike soda.
- dalke 11y agoI asked why "real" orange juice was "much healthier" than Minute Maid orange juice, not juice vs. soda. (Quoting text from hisham_hm; they aren't meant as scare quotes.)
- mbell 11y ago> How about real fruit juice? Much healthier. Most fresh squeezed fruit juices have comparable levels of sugar to soda. They may have some extra vitamins but they are not terribly 'healthy'.
- jrockway 11y agoIndeed. Fruit is "healthy" because it has fiber in it. Fruit juice removes the fiber, making it basically the same thing as soda.
