A small cup of orange juice is glycemically equivalent to soda. Pasteurization destroys vitamin C in commercial orange juice, eliminating its primary nutritional benefit. Orange juice causes a blood glucose spike followed by a crash approximately 90 minutes later, triggering renewed cravings for sweet food. The fructose in orange juice is processed by the liver and contributes to hepatic fat accumulation.
