To be fair, we stopped buying their frozen juice around 20 years ago when the off-brand juices became just as good and Minute Maid started putting increased amounts of sugar in most of them (and jacking up the prices of the others).
Then probably 5 years later, we just stopped buying juice altogether and went back to eating fruit and making smoothies from frozen fruit.
When I went on my big diet a couple of years ago (I’ve lost 100 lbs so far), I started having a “healthy breakfast” that included some sort of juice, usually orange juice. My diet was working well, and my doctor asked about my method, and I mentioned juice.
She immediately told me to stop drinking juice, saying “Don’t get your calories from juice, it’s mostly sugars, get your calories from real food.” I stopped drinking juice, and while I can’t identify the specific benefit of that, I can understand how a big sweet calorie bomb at the beginning of the day is not a good idea for weight loss.
Yeah I drank OJ like it was going out of style until I realized it was rotting my teeth and making me fat, just soda with fresher taste (and more acid). They don’t give juice to kids anymore. It was a scam. Fruit is awesome tho, I try to eat a couple pieces a day.
It’s amazing how American diets are dictated by marketing agencies from NY. Eggs, bacon, juice, cereal were all marketing campaigns, not organic choices.
People used to eat leftovers and pie for breakfast.
Fr just eat food you like, and stop when youre full. Prioritize whole foods if you can but it really doesnt even matter that much as long as youre maintaining a balance.
Barring an addicition or other ED, this works for most people i know to stay healthy
My old man was drinking like a gallon of OJ (boomer logic of vitamin C, juice is good for you, etc.) a week until the doctor said he was pre-diabetic lol.
