8 to 10 oranges per day being healthy or not is largely dependent what else you eat. Biggest issue there is likely teeth decay due to acidity.

No its not. 8-10 Oranges is too much sugar. Too much sugar hurts your insulin reaction and can bring diabetes.
No with the fiber that’s perfectly fine. The slow release of sugar is perfectly fine. Obesity is the main risk for insulin, fast release sugar is bad for insulin via obesity not on its own.
Not really, healthy person can easily handle that amount of sugar. Has plenty of fiber to balance.
I rechecked it and you are right.

Its an issue if you drink orange juice not when you eat it. Eating takes longer and is getting balanced from the fiber.
