Fruit juices are not the health panacea that people believe, but instead just a concentration of sugar with flavor. When you eat a fruit, you obtain the benefit of the fiber which helps to release the sugars slowly. also, It takes numerous pieces of fruit to produce one serving of fruit juice, and in general, you would not eat that many pieces of fruit.

They are concentrated, evaporated, adulterated, and recomposed many times, so every bottle of a given brand tastes, looks, and feels exactly the same (oh, and is chilled-stable for like a month). All using _components_ of oranges, of course, but it’s only “orange juice” in the sense that Frankenstein’s monster was “human.”
