Is there any actual evidence that MSG should be "cause for concern"?
Double-blinded studies have debunked the idea of MSG sensitivity. Preparations high in MSG tend to be high in sodium as well, which people are sensitive to.

He should have just said he was questioning the health of those chemicals. That's what I would say.

#14I know this article is trying to "scare me with science," but it actually makes me proud that science allows for orange juice year round. Fresh is always better than not fresh, but this is something we as a society should be proud of, not ashamed.
When that "fresh" OJ has a fraction of the nutritional benefits of the real thing, is it even the same thing?

When consumers buy juice labelled "natural" or "100% juice" they expect juice that hasn't had anything added or taken away from it, especially not something that doesn't actually exist in nature.
The article was written to inform consumers about what they're actually getting and how they're getting deceived.

#16TL;DR: producers store juice in oxygen-less tanks, for up to one year, then add natural/synthetic chemicals, to restore taste, prior to distribution. The author suggests people make their own juice, instead.
I'm really starting to wonder what the point of juice even is.
If you want fruit, eat fruit. If you want a drink, drink some water. Why combine the two?
Fruit juice seems like basically a way to drink soda but with the delusion that it's good for you.

The claim that deoxygenated orange juice has a fraction of the nutritional benefits of hand-squeezed juice is an assertion that needs to be backed up with evidence, not blindly assumed.

Do you have evidence for that? I prefer freshly squeezed juice because it tastes better, but processing like this allows for cheap juice to be available in large quantities year-round, which also has value.
