Are you talking of industrial orange juice? I've never heard squeezed oranges to be considered unhealthy.

- joshuaheard 7y agoI read the sugar content is too high in orange juice. It was recommended to eat the whole fruit instead so there is less sugar and more fiber.
- jnwatson 7y agoPretty much all sweet fruit juice is not healthy* because of the sugar content. The evidence is piling up that sugar is responsible for a great deal of health issues in the modern world.
- athenot 7y agoIf you take a fresh orange, squeeze it and drink/eat ALL of the result, then that's fairly healthy. You're balancing out the fructose with lots of fiber which are supposed to help slow the absorption of that sugar. Also by consuming it right away, the other nutrients don't have time to oxidate. Orange juice as sold in stores has a lot less pulp (even the "high pulp" has less than what you'd get from an orange. It is also pasteurized, and the taste is harmonized by adding various types of extracts of oranges—though since those extracts came from oranges, they are allowed to call the result 100% orange juice, which I find rather misleading.
