“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.

It may not be a drink, in a literal sense, but if it’s sitting in vats for months on end, the nutritional value is greatly reduced, possibly to nothingness.

Just eat a tomato that’s been sitting in your fridge for the past two months and get back to me as to how confident you are that you’ve chowed down on a some vitamins and minerals.

The Alar scare was created by a company called Fenton Communications... and they are probably involved in this OJ scare too.

The Alar scare was done for the benefit of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Fenton was also responsible for the dairy hormone scare which benefitted Ben & Jerry's. Fenton's junk science advocacy worked on behalf of Environmental Media Services which includes such familiar brands as Whole Foods Markets, Kashi Cereal company, Green Mountain coffee and a magazine publisher who promotes organic gardening.

The top doggie at Fenton Co. is David Fenton, who used to be a photojournalist- if he can be called that- of the Weather Underground terrorist group and Liberation News Service. One of Fenton's consultants was an Al Gore staffer. Fenton was also brought in by John Kerry to slime the Swift Boat vets.
