It’s amazing how wrong you are about fruit juice. and yes I mean 100% pure juice products, such as Tropicana brand not-from-concentrate orange juice. Ounce for ounce Tropicana has more calories than Coke, essentially the same amount of sugar, and contains zero vitamins needed by anyone, ever. The only nutrition they are even allowed to label is Vit c (which basically no one is short of) and a trivial amount of calcium. All other claims fall below the threshold where they can assert it on a nutrition label.

TOJ: 168 cal per 12 oz  
Of which: 34g sugar

Coke: 140 cal per 12 oz  
Of which: 39g sugar

In short your defense of OJ is indefensible, especially compared to a product obviously made of chocolate!!! Marketing for OJ is a thousand times more deceptive. Hmm, is it a good idea to each chocolate for breakfast every single day??? Gee I just cant figure it out on my own… With OJ even you are fooled to the point where you defend them! I used to feel the same way till I wised up and looked at the label.
