Ive beeb drinkibg this orange juice thats raw pasteurised and its very delicious.

It comes in a bottle that looks like a milk bottle. Short shelf life but really good tasting.

So it's a throwback to the 1820s, before carbonated water existed.

If you ask for a soda or a seltzer in Europe, you'll get blank looks :-)

It's not rocket science to know that sugar and caffeine are bad for you.

What is surprising is how bad fruit juice is. It has just as much sugar than coca cola. And people think fruit juice is healthy. Argh.

For comparison:
100ml Coca cola: 10.6g sugar
100ml Tropicana Orange juice (not from concentrate) 10.0g sugars

And then people say "Oh it's a healthier type of sugar". Come on...

In due respect, what you're missing out on, is that squezed orange juice is not a plain suggar bomb, it also contains vitamins and no coffein.

True, but vitamins can be got just as easily from other fresh foods that don't have all that sugar.
