A study suggests that drinking fruit juice like orange juice increases the risk of type 2 diabetes more than eating whole fruits, due to high sugar content and lack of fiber, highlighting the need for revised dietary guidelines on liquid sugars.
Taylor Swift reportedly starts her day with a glass of fresh organic orange juice, a superfood rich in vitamin C, which supports skin health, boosts the immune system, and aids in iron absorption. While beneficial, it's advised to consume orange juice in moderation due to its natural sugar content and potential to exacerbate heartburn.
Due to climate change and disease affecting orange crops in Brazil and Florida, orange juice prices have nearly doubled, leading manufacturers to consider using more resilient fruits like mandarins or blending with other juices such as pear, apple, and grape.
A global shortage of oranges, driven by drought, disease, and high demand, has caused prices to skyrocket, prompting orange juice manufacturers to consider alternative fruits like mandarins. The shortage is exacerbated by declining output in Florida and Brazil, with Brazil facing one of its worst orange harvests in over three decades due to citrus greening disease and extreme weather.
