Here’s a short reminder that the WHO recommends limiting the daily intake of sugars to 10% of your calorie supply (approx. 50g sugar/day for me) for beneficial health effects.
Limiting intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake (2, 7) is part of a healthy diet. A further reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake is suggested for additional health benefits (7).
Orange juice where i live has 10g sugars in 100ml of juice, so if you drink 1 L of it, you already take in 100g of sugars all in one go.
It’s a lot, actually. It has about the same amount of sugar as soda, quite unhealthy and IMO quite obvious while you’re drinking it. I definitely notice when I ingest that much sugar.
If you were to juice the oranges yourself, that would be about 12 oranges, depending on size.
Also, dedicated juice glasses are often way smaller than regular water glasses, nevermind pint glasses.

Implying 1l of orange juice is not a lot, or at least doesn’t feel like a lot?
it’s like, 3 glasses? maybe 2 if they’re tall ones? i don’t think 3 glasses of OJ is that much

Who is drinking a litre of orange juice though?
