You'd more than notice if your water was bad enough to develop enough harmful microorganisms to be bad for you (this goes for drinking water, not random wilderness water of course. always filter and boil that)

"not random wilderness water of course. always filter and boil that" To be honest, maybe I was lucky, but I drank plenty of wilderness water unfiltered and except for mild stomach problems, I never had any issues.

"except for mild stomach problems" and "I've never had any issues" are contradictory.

People below you in this thread are saying that fresh squeezed orange juice is little better than Mountain Dew. Something about nutrition makes people lose their minds.

By squeezing juice out of an orange you’re separating the unhealthy stuff from the healthy stuff. Healthy stuff then gets thrown away. Some juice every now and then won’t hurt anyone but it’s not healthy to drink it every day.

Many years ago, during my lunch at work, I peeled an orange and was eating it. My office mate, who was from Puerto Rico, said I was eating my orange the way his grandmother did. People his age would cut off the end of an orange and just squeeze the juice into their mouth.

With the exception of your comment, I enjoyed this day.

> By squeezing juice out of an orange you’re separating the unhealthy stuff from the healthy stuff You’re separating liquids from solids. They each have their merits. The problem is industrial fruit produces a juice that is unlike anything in nature vis-à-vis sugar content.

Pray tell, how is a pasteurized orange juice that removes 99% of the juice from a orange, different from a squeezed oranged juice that removes 75% of the juice from an orange. Please explain how the two sugar waters are different.

I said industrialised fruit to refer to the orange. They’re much sweeter now than even in the 60s. There isn’t a practical difference between store-bought and fresh-squeezed juice (that I know of) other than, in some cases, preservatives, and the fact that with fresh-squeezed juice you have a tactile measure of the fruit going into the squeeze and so don’t tend to have e.g. a kid pouring themselves a tall glass of orange juice representing the juice of ten oranges.
