Are you one of those who likes to have a glass of Orange Juice in the breakfast? Most Americans do. In fact that seems to be the ubiquitous drink for most people in the US. People think that it is healthy. But is it?

They found that those who drank just one glass of orange juice increased their risk of developing diabetes by more than 18 percent while who ate three servings of the whole fruit slashed their risk by 24 percent.
