[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your wife's an idiot. Tropicana orange juice has zero preservatives or additives. It is, however, pasteurized which means it has been heat treated to kill any microbes. (Unpasteurized juices have led to many disease outbreaks in this country.) While pasteurization may affect the flavor some, it does not affect any health benefits of the juice.

The only benefit of fresh squeezed juice is that it tastes a lot better. But, because it isn't pasteurized it will go bad much more quickly than the pre-packaged juices. It will probably start tasting funky after 3 days or so.[/quote]

Did you know that:

Let’s start with the obvious: oranges only grow in certain seasons, and because orange juice goes bad after a short period of time, orange juice providers had to come up with a way of storing the juice if they weren’t going to go with the old school method of freezing juice in concentrate. What they came up with is a process called “deaeration,” in which the oranges are picked, the oranges are squeezed, the juice is heated to eliminate bacteria, and then the juice is kept in vast, zillion-gallon tanks from which oxygen is eliminated. This allows the juice to not spoil for up to a year. The downside to this process is that the juice loses its taste, so when the juice is ready to be packaged for consumption,[b] flavor packets are added to give it its consistent, “pure,” orangey taste. Fragrance companies responsible for the same formulas used for perfumes come up with the right taste concoctions that you and I know as orange juice[/b][u].

I am pretty sure I do not want to ingest those flavor packets[/quote]
This is interesting. What do the flavor packets contain and why aren't they listed in the ingredients? It's not that I don't believe you, I really want to know. [/quote]

it is not listed because "“The Food and Drug Administration does not require adding flavor packs to the labeling of pasteurized juice".[/quote]
That is incorrect. There is no conspiracy. They simply add orange oil back into the juice to make it smell better. [/quote]
