Easily the worst thing you can drink on a regular basis. I use to think OJ was healthily and drank it a lot. I stopped completely at some point a year or so back and over about 6 months lost over 20 pounds of weight I could never lose, even though I play hockey 2-3 days a week and workout pretty much every day. I went from 205, my college hockey weight, to 180 now.

There is a reason they use to give you a tiny juice glass for OJ, and I'd bet even that is pretty terrible for you daily.

You read the title, saw it had OJ in it, and rushed to the comments to rant about it?

Edit: And then you doubled down?

> hahahahaha keep knocking down glasses of OJ fatties !

Might want to be a little more professional when you have your professional website in your profile, Rick.

It seems to be a strange quirk of HN lately. You see this often with facebook posts. "I quit facebook and it cured my cancer". There was a post about tea being good for you and someone chimes with something like, "I quit tea cold turkey and it helped me get a raise!".

Seems a lot of people on HN attribute their successes and failures to arbitrary things and something in a headline clicks and they have to evangelize.

OJ has lots of vitamin C and sugar. If you need vitamin C and sugar this is good. If sugar causes you to store fat, maybe not.

nutrition is a systemic thing, not a prescriptive one..
