She’s right to be concerned.

40 years ago, if you bought juice, it was 100% juice.

Now, unfortunately, if you read the labels, what is called juice can be more accurately called drink, because there really isn’t any real juice that is nutritious.

All in the name of squeezing profits.

“now, unfortunately, if you read the labels, what is called juice can be more accurately called drink, “

Um, No.

They don’t call it juice. They will call it something else, like a drink or a cocktail or punch, but they do not and are not allowed to call it juice. Unless it is indeed juice.

The labels are clear, and the article is just alarmist BS.

It looks to me that someone is trying to manipulate orange juice commodity trading.

Enjoy your orange JUICE. It isn’t going to hurt you. (It IS however made of a lot of chemical compounds, which if listed would make most idiots run away. The TREE makes it that way)

Anybody remember the “Alar” scare that damn near bankrupted the apple growers? That turned out to be BS too.

Food processors are NOT out to kill us. There really wouldn’t be a point in that.

Rush re Two if by Tea "But, look, we still gotta go through the -- there's federal shelf life tests. I mean you wouldn't believe the hoops to jump through to bring it to market."

The FDA might have something to do with it. The gubbmint needs to dip its hand in the till, too.
