Way back in the 1990’s I was a physical and health education teacher in Savannah, Georgia. It was quite an experience. In fact, I have a story to share with you.  

I remember watching the news back then and there was a big controversy on Orange Juice.  The company Sysco which delivers orange juice to many regions including the school I was teaching at was among a number companies that were nailed for having Contaminated Orange Juice. When tested in a lab, the juice was found to have sugar, sewer water and bacteria in it. I was upset and let it be known.

I told the students to stay away from the Orange Juice because it was not real juice and could hurt them. Of course I was called into the principal’s office! He told me, keep your mouth shut and don’t make waves. I asked him, don’t you care about the kids, and he said of course I do. I even let my own kids drink the so called bad orange juice. I said you are out of your mind to allow your own children to drink contaminated orange juice. I was angry and knew that if I kept opening my mouth I would be written up and ultimately fired. Being an employee, I was afraid of losing my job and shut my mouth. Like most scandals, the orange juice scandal died out. Wonder which politician was paid off for this to go away?

So Dr. Joe which Orange Juice can we trust?

 I vote none of the above. In fact, to be safe, eat an orange. It is loaded with vitamins, minerals. A glass, well in most cases plastic of Orange Juice has been sitting on self for how long? Has been heated? Watered down? The Nutritional value is minimal at best.

As you watch Tasty Tuesday’s episode #42, ask yourself, what is stopping me from eating real food? Your life is worth it? Or are you happy taking pharmaceutical medicines any eating poorly? While most people say (Liar, Liar) they would rather eat healthy, we know the truth!
