about the

possible additives that just don't agree with some people.

I read an article about how Tropicana is processed and how the skins get in it

and it is not

organic. This was by Sally Fallon who advocates other diet protocols that

include illegals

for SCD, but Sally is very conscientious about food purity.

I now prefer whole fruit to juice and freshly squeezed O.J. to Tropicana,

BTW: We have had an recall of freshly pressed apple cider here in Ontario and

feel more an

more the importance of as much home made food as possible despite the desire for

convenience. I bought the little six pack of Trolpicana and it didn't taste as

good as home

squeezed so iI use little diluted for swallowing Vitamins every day until the

six pack is

finished.

Most processed juice sales are controlled by Coca-Cola (owners of Minute Maid)

or

PepsiCo (owners of Tropicana). What the consumer is not hearing is the bad news

about

processed orange juice, which often contains heat-resistant fungi and

pressure-resistant E

coli. (International Journal of Food Science Technology, 10/95 ) Mutagenic and

cytotoxic

fractions have also been found in heat- and acid-treated orange juice. (Food

Chemistry,

1989, 31:(4):289-294.)
