I drink a lot of orange juice. Just now I looked at the calories on the carton beside me. Calories per serving : 120. Servings per carton : 8. Calories per carton : 960. I just drank one of those... Ye gods! Is it good that the 'calories from fat' are 0? Maybe I should just stick to milk. But orange juice is so goood. Posts: 10645 | Registered: Jul 2004

Well, sugar is the new "evil". Any fruit juice is high in sugar, so if you are worried about insulin resistance, you might want to avoid taking that much in at one time.
Or eat protein when you do. Posts: 7050 | Registered: Feb 2004

Fruit juice is from fruit, which is good for you but sugary. Whole fruit has a lot of fiber that counteracts the sugar. I've found that when I keep my sugar intake equal to my fiber intake, I tend to do well, and you can do that by eating whole fruits.

Oh, moderately well, I think. Check the exam thread for details. I've decided to cut down my orange juice intake right sharply and eat oranges instead. And milk for dinner.

I hate milk. Don't know why -- but I've never, ever been able to just "drink" the stuff straight. When I was in kindergarten, I even used to 'pretend' I was asleep during nap time, so the teacher wouldn't wake me up for the milk break.
There are only two times I will drink milk straight -- with chili; and when eating pancakes (sometimes). Otherwise, yech.
I'm just weird that way. Ivygirl drinks tons of milk. I grew up with raw milk, but still don't like any type.

I used to love milk...I still do, if I can eat chocolate with it. But otherwise it just doesn't taste the same anymore.
Long ago, when in grade school, I had the odd habit of drinking from the chocolate milk and orange juice cartons at once, with straws of course. Somehow I thought it tasted great. I haven't had the chance to try that again lately.

See, I can't drink anything but skim, or occasionally 1/2%, or maybe, on cereal, 1%. Fatty milk tastes like someone dumped oil in my milk. Ick.
When you drink that much OJ, doesn't it just go straight through you? That's what it does to me. Especially the kind with pulp.

Well, yes, but so what? I drink it (drank it, I should say) for the taste. I could care less what happens after it goes down my throat. Well, except for this issue of the VAST number of calories.

KoM, are you in the United States at the moment? Something you said the other day made it seem like you were, but I didn't know. Are you studying here?
