1. Predominantly sugar water with a large percentage delivered as fructose;
2. Very low in micronutrient content adjusted for sugar content;
3. Little to no fiber;
4. Very high-calorie intake adjusted for satiety;
5. No essential macronutrients (protein and fat).

Waste of calories

i agree if its home made if you just bough it in supermarket its 99.99% sugar and water

[jubjubrsx]

most juices have absolutely no real nutritional value after all of the processing it goes through.

go research orange juice, all the processing that goes into it the manufactures have to actually put artificial orange flavor into it solely for flavor.

Because you can't put it in a little plastic tub and charge $25 for it?

I'd eat some good fruit ice cream instead, much more satisfying

And in my country we have oranges as a high quality famous product, a freshly made orange juice is the goat

FYI: They are basically identical.

When you squeeze the juice out of fruit at home, at work or at a food processing plant, you get sugar, lots and lots of sugar, water and a tiny bit of micronutrients.

Not enough nutritional value to bother with; most of the 'stuff' sold as 'juice' in supermarkets is little more than flavored sugar water. The problem is with the consumers who never put forth the effort to read nutrition labels, and even those few who do probably don't know what they're reading.

Fresh squeezed OJ with all the pulp made at home is pretty tasty

Most store-bought juice is from concentrate. I only know of 3 juices I can buy from Wal-Mart or the local grocery store that is pure juice.

The other reason is, there are far better sources of calories and vitamins out there than juice.

[Mrpb]

The difference in macro and micronutrient content between juice from concentrate and freshly squeezed is marginal. Fresh tastes better though.

This. Grew up in Florida and we had orange and grapefruit trees growing in the back yard. OJ was a given at a breakfast table on weekends.

I'd rather eat candy with a multivitamin.
