Many people think they are doing well because they drink a glass of orange juice every day. Not such a good idea.
Orange juice is a good source of vitamin C, but it also contains a lot of sugar. A glass of orange juice contains about 10 grams of sugar, which is equivalent to about 2.5 sugar cubes. If you drink a glass of orange juice every day, you are consuming a lot of sugar.
Too much sugar can lead to several health problems, such as overweight, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and tooth decay.
In addition, orange juice does not contain fiber. Fibers are important for good digestion and a feeling of satiety.
If you drink orange juice every day, it is therefore better to opt for a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice with pulp. This way you still get some fiber.
A nutritionist in the Frankfurter Allgemeine: “Many people still believe that orange juice is healthy and full of vitamins. Orange juice from the supermarket is a heavily processed product that has no benefits for our health. Eating an orange is much healthier. No one would thinking about eating six oranges at once. That’s way too much sugar. Homemade juice is better, but not really healthy. Drinking a little orange juice every now and then won’t hurt, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a regular part of your breakfast .”
