I heard that a true fruit orange by itself has no vitamin c in it. Is this true. It is said that vitamin c is added in the juice.
Thanks
Tony

Oranges are good sources of vitamin C and they produce it themselves. Perhaps some juice manufacturers add it but I cannot imagine why-- it's just not necessary. On the other hand, calcium is a mineral known to be added to OJ by juice processors.

i heard that if ur having diabetic problem drinking orange juice rises the blood sugar...is it true?
veggieluv  - huh? 2008-06-26 13:32:44
oranges cause cancer?!? i'm finding it hard to believe that someone could actually be dumb enough to ask such a question.

while true that the pesticides and fertilizers used to grow the oranges are toxic and probably cause cancer.. the fruit does not/ can not. it is a natural God-given food. seriously. some people.
Lyz 2009-01-03 04:20:04
Veggieluv it is a valid question. Some people also believe that anything that is "herbal" must be good for you. Hemlock is herbal too, and so is cannabis. And aromatherapy oils, though naturally derived, can be downright dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. To call someone else dumb for asking a perfectly valid question is rude and ignorant in itself.
Ian 2009-06-13 12:39:01
It may be a valid question, but it is one borne of ignorance and fear (no offense). Oranges do not cause cancer. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.
Mark  - Oranges and Cancer 2008-06-04 06:23:03
Agent Orange causes and increased risk for gastric cancer, but Agent Orange is a herbicide used to defoliate in the Vietnam War. It also causes birth defects and other fun problems... no the fruit Oranges do not, to scientific knowledge, cause gastric cancer.
