orange juice
Is drinking too much orange juice bad? I have about 2/3 glasses of concentrated orange juice a day because I used to think it was good for you, but then heard it has a whole lot of sugar in it. Should i lay off drinking so much ? Or is it natural sugars in it, which aren't really bad ?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You need to think whether the sugar (natural product) is any better/worse for you than artificial sweeteners (chemically derived with dangerous side effects if you believe this http://www.starbuilders.org/health/asp2.html )
If it 2 or 3 glasses rather than 23 I don't see a problem anyway. Maybe dilute it to normal strength.
You laugh at 23 glasses a day.....One of my friends, when we were teenagers, used to drink two to three litres of pure OJ a day. He had done this for years, but the doctor advised him to cut down on this massive consumption. He also advised him to cut down slowly - the body was used to the massive Vitamin C doses it was getting, and if he had suddenly reduced his consumption to one or two glasses a day it could have resulted in Vit C deficiency or scurvy. Strange but true!
