Next on the FDA agenda is to designate the following as Orange Juice:

* Orange Crush

* Orange Fanta

* Sunkist Orange Soda

Seems only right given how great they're doing with the American diet and obesity.

I mean drinking juice isn't going to have a significant calorie difference from soda. Juice or soda should never be a replacement for water.
People do NOT realize the caloric content of various juices, they can EASILY beat soda for calories per ounce.

But I guess it's "good" calories or something.

I have had pediatricians on both US coasts advise against regularly giving kids juice of any kind, as well as the periodic pamphlets the state sends out about childcare.

Should be very common knowledge by now.

Even with pulp?
I can confirm that among parents in our local area, juice is considered MUCH MUCH healthier than soda, magically so. With pulp, Orange Juice becomes perfection itself.
Oh, I was making a joke on parent's username.

In my local area flavored seltzer, e.g., Polar, has become the new soda. I can't speak of juice, though.

Milk from grains has been around since the 1200's. It's not a new thing.
