Did you know out of the top ten foods with the highest content of vitamin C, 50% are vegetables. Also, did you know out of that top ten, Oranges and citrus fruits are number 9? Kiwi for example, number 7, delivers 273% DV per cup...that's it, just 1cup of kiwi is nearly 3 times the daily recommended value of vitamin C.Yellow peppers are number 3 with a DV of 569% per pepper.
I feel like majority of the public are very poorly educated when it comes to nutrition which is overall not our fault. We are not properly educated when growing up with the real facts, simply have media ramming down our throats, no pun intended, that we should drink the orange juice, blah blah blah. Quite honestly, a person would probably be healthier not drinking the orange juice even if it was their only source of vitamin c, because they would prevent a whole heap of crap from entering their bodies. High sugar and from concentrate juice is absolutely unnecessary in anyone's diet, and quite frankly does more damage than good.
I buy organic, not from concentrate, EVER, Apple juice for my 10 year old son. He loves it and he has about 1 cup of it a day simply because he enjoys it. I'm not about never indulging in treats which are nearly always bad for us I so me shape or form, but if what you are putting in your mouth is a choice made primarily for health benefits, you better be dammed sure you did your research rather than buying into what the label tells you that it's good for you, which is most likely BS!
