Eat the Orange! Ditch the OJ




One small orange is about 45 calories with 2.3 grams of fiber and 9 grams of sugar.  One cup (8oz)
of orange juice is 110 calories with ZERO fiber and 23 grams of sugar.  
Sugar turns to fat in the liver if it is not immediately burned for fuel.  That cup of OJ equals almost 6 teaspoons of sugar where the orange is about 2.25 tsp.  And the fiber in the orange is the most beneficial part.  So when you are needing some OJ… just eat the orange!
