What effect does OJ have on you?
-
juice for me:
Pasteurized: Gas, if continued, diarrhea
Commercial squizzed "fresh": bloating and nightmares
If I squiz it myself: bloating sometimes -
Juice from sour, unripe oranges that are commonly used for commercial production, and the enzymes/clarifying agents and flavor packs often added, is nothing like the juice from truly ripe oranges, i.e., sugary sweet with low acidity and no bitterness, that I make at home. For example:
• Commercial, pasteurized OJ causes me intestinal burning, diarrhea, inflamed skin, hives, stuffy sinuses, tinnitus, a sore throat, hair fallout and tooth enamel erosion
• Commercial, raw OJ causes me intestinal burning, diarrhea, inflamed skin, hives, stuffy sinuses, tinnitus, a sore throat, hair fallout and tooth enamel erosion
• Juice from ripe oranges causes me none of the above symptoms, but instead results in mental clarity, joyfulness, boundless energy and soft skin
It’s hard to find juice made from truly ripe fruit in general but when I do, I take advantage of it and can drink upwards of 4 liters of it a day—apple cider is my go-to. With that said, I still find raw milk superior to juice for many reasons.

if its too acidic i add 1 gram of baking soda and some sugar (food grade aluminium free), the bicarb reacts with the acid to clear some (dont need a lot) and gives a little salt to balance the water, but yeh probably not the best if a sweet brand is available or vs eating ripe oranges
