Dr. Lowe How to Prepare Patient-to-Patient Fibromyalgia Research Foundation
The Metabolic Treatment |
The Journal of the American Dietetic Association (April 2002) recently reported that the vitamin C content of ready-to-drink orange juice products is lower than formerly believed. Four weeks after a container is open, practically all the vitamin C is gone. Compared to frozen juices, ready-to-drink juices have a lower vitamin C content to start with. Ready-to-drink products are put through pasteurization, which destroys some of the vitamin C. When reconstituted, frozen orange juice contains about 86 mg of vitamin C. When a carton of pasteurized juice is opened, it contains only about 45 mg. I hope, however, that you don't depend on juices for your daily allotment of vitamin C. Optimal health is possible only with amounts of vitamin C that far exceed what juices provide.
