Easily the worst thing you can drink on a regular basis. I use to think OJ was healthily and drank it a lot. I stopped completely at some point a year or so back and over about 6 months lost over 20 pounds of weight I could never lose, even though I play hockey 2-3 days a week and workout pretty much every day. I went from 205, my college hockey weight, to 180 now. There is a reason they use to give you a tiny juice…

Edit: And then you doubled down?

Might want to be a little more professional when you have your professional website in your profile, Rick.
Notice the subtle bait and switch here.
Citrus exists due to climate change in the Himalayas millions of years ago
Oranges exist due to climate change in the Himalayas millions of years ago
Orange juice exists due to climate change in the Himalayas millions of years ago
You want to click on the last one because your curious why they are so specific in the title, even though the article is about the general case and mentions the specific only in passing, almost as an excuse.
The article mentions that the himalayas grow by about 1cm per year, and that it has been growing for millions of years. Wikipedia says it is more like 5mm/year. So I'm assuming a growth rate of 5km/My, while Everest is only about 9km. I understand what has been limiting height: gravity, rock strength, erosion, sinking into the mantle... But since there is growth now, obviously these processes are not in short term eq…
Why are you assuming a linear growth model for it in the first place?

You read the title, saw it had OJ in it, and rushed to the comments to rant about it? Edit: And then you doubled down? > hahahahaha keep knocking down glasses of OJ fatties ! Might want to be a little more professional when you have your professional website in your profile, Rick.
It seems to be a strange quirk of HN lately. You see this often with facebook posts. "I quit facebook and it cured my cancer". There was a post about tea being good for you and someone chimes with something like, "I quit tea cold turkey and it helped me get a raise!".
Seems a lot of people on HN attribute their successes and failures to arbitrary things and something in a headline clicks and they have to evangelize.
This is a particularly clever form of clickbait. The article describes how citrus, generally migrated from the Himalayas due to climate change. The title says orange juice.

Yes it works, but every time you trick someone it ekes away at their trust and happiness using your platform. But this occurs over many such interactions so it won't show up in your metrics until much later, and then only in general stats so it's nearly impossible to measure the effect with the time scales that we actually record and test. Heck, the users themselves probably won't even notice anything specific but just have a slowly growing distaste for interacting with your platform.
Anecdotally, I've noticed this happening to me and people I know on many news and social sites. (Though, my sensitivity to this is turned up really high.) But this effect can help explain the cyclic nature of social networks, and perhaps Facebook's recent decline in the US.
Do your users come away from your site feeling good about their engagement? Assuming more is better may be hurting you in the long run.

User-engagement optimizing "tricks" used by social networks and news sites will stop working eventually, and leave users with a bad taste of your company. Using data mining and A/B testing we are basically enrolling all users in a constant social science experiment so they can help us better hack their own brain. But following it blindly is incredibly short-sighted. Yes it works, but every time you trick someone it e…
After getting curation & comments from hn, reddit, etc., my mobile browsers reader mode strips the design.
I had to look up the source after reading your comments. Therefore I'm not sure reputation will solve clickbait eventually.

OJ has lots of vitamin C and sugar. If you need vitamin C and sugar this is good. If sugar causes you to store fat, maybe not.
nutrition is a systemic thing, not a prescriptive one..
