First it was fruits and vegetables, now orange juice.  I think it’ safe to say if we commoners were asked what foods are good for us, fruits, vegetables and orange juice would certainly make list.  Well, as I was taking a leisurely drive around the world wide web, I stumbled upon this from Dr. Mercola: “While oranges and freshly squeezed orange juice can be a good source of vitamins and other nutrients, it’s also very high in fructose, Dr. Mercola points out.
