Question 1

is orange juice unhealthy how much would be too much

Accepted Answer

Orange : Orange juice is tricky - we've been told for years how healthy it is, right?  True, it has vitamin c, calcium (if you buy the calcium fortified stuff), and it tastes good, but there are a few other things to keep in mind:

- an 8 oz glass of oj has almost as much sugar as a can of soda
- oj has little to no fiber, so that sugar rush can cause an Insulin spike which eventually leads to high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and weight gain.  Eating the whole fruit is much better for you because the fiber found in the fruit causes the sugars to be digested more slowly which avoids the Insulin spike
- the stuff you buy in the carton has been processed with many chemicals to increase shelf life - even the expensive stuff!  if you must have oj, it's much better to squeeze it yourself.

The 2 best bits of dietary advice i can give pertaining to juice is "everything in moderation" or "bypass the juice and just eat the fruit".  Your body will thank you.

Question 5

Yes: It can promote cavity forming bacteria to live in the mouth. These bad guys live at the base of the bacteria pyramid and are hard to get rid of.

Question 6

can i give my 7  moths baby orange juice?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't : I usually only recommend formula or water prior to one year of age. If you give juice start with diluted apple juice. Make sure all juices are 100% juice. Orange juice might be a bit acidic for the infants tummy.

Accepted Answer

Question 8

when can a baby drink natural orange juice?

Accepted Answer

9 mo, but not needed: I would say about nine months, but in moderation. Juice--even natural juice--has a lot of sugar, and isn't as nutritious as all the hype suggests.  Better than 'juice drinks', yes, but not that much better. I often suggest diluting it. But, juice is not necessary for your child. It has vitamin c, yes, but that is easily obtained from many other sources.

Question 9

would kellogs and orange juice a decent breakfast?

Accepted Answer

No: No, too much carbs and unbalanced. Add protein and a little lean fat.

Question 10

which better drinking natural orange juice or pipse?

Accepted Answer

OJ: Assuming you meant pepsi, orange juice is definitely more healthy for you.  Any soda has no redeeming healthy qualities - water, milk or 100% juice is always recommended over soda.
