supposedly orange juice contains fiber and thus doesn't spike blood sugar as much as other fruit juices. I personally did lots of OJ and fruits for years and I feel as if it was fairly destructive but not without any positives. Its fairly hard to get off processed and heated sugars without turning to fruits or animal fats so that part is positive, but I believe raw fruit sugar can feed issues that even other cooked foods/starches do not. No one really knows these things however. I would just read up on all the arguments (fructose, testimonials etc..) and decide what works for you right now. Odds are since you are young you have time to make a few mistakes if that is the turn out, so the worst thing to do would be to stress about things especially as long as you are avoiding most of the processed crap. are you eating raw meats now?
