Orange juice
Side-Effects & Allergies of Orange Juice. Since orange juice is rich in fructose and is acidic in nature, excessive consumption can be harmful for the body. The excess fiber can lead to digestive problems causing abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Because of its acidic property it can cause severe heartburn as well.
We’re not just talking about the sugar-laden versions you get at the supermarket. Even freshly squeezed orange juice without any added sugar still contains a lot of sugar! And you need several oranges to make a full glass of orange juice. You wouldn’t eat 3 or 4 whole oranges for breakfast, would you? Well, that’s what you’ll be doing if you have a glass of the juice and you can stand to avoid the spike in blood sugar.
The reality of the situation is that yes, a glass of orange juice does indeed contain some vitamin C, but that fact hardly outweighs the fact that orange juice is just loaded with sugar. The cost to your health from the sugar load in a glass of orange juice should justify your decision to opt out.
