That's actually a total myth. If you compare a glass of orange juice to a glass of Coca-Cola, it's the same amount of sugar, about 25 grams. And the sugar in the can of Coke

and the sugar in the glass of orange juice, they're exactly the same. They're glucose and fructose molecules, and your body absorbs them in the exact same way. Your body does not make a difference

between sugar from an orange and sugar from a sugar beet that's now in a can of Coca-Cola. I hope that orange juice disappears from school lunches, from hospital meals. The World Health Organization

recommends 25 grams of sugar per day or less. So with just one glass of orange juice in the morning that you squeeze at home that you think is good for you, you're already at the maximum limit of sugar recommendation.

And most people drink this glass of orange juice thinking it's good for them. Most people with diabetes drink this glass of orange juice thinking it's helping them with their condition.
