Is drinking orange juice for breakfast good for your health? Dietitian nutritionist Isabelle Descamps answers in the negative. Orange juice is problematic for two reasons: its sugar content and its liquid form.
By itself, orange juice is almost as sweet as a whole orange; 100 grams of the fruit provides 7.9 grams of sugar, the same quantity of juice provides 9.6 grams. If you absolutely want to enjoy an orange for breakfast, it is better to choose the solid version.
