They do have their place- just that place isn’t “something you can just drink every day without thinking about”

Unpopular opinion: The really bad ones, not talking about orange juice here, should be treated similarly to energy drinks. Banned for under 16 and taxed high.

Orange Juice is not meaningfully better than most sugar heavy drinks.

I have this argument with my wife a lot. She says that because the OJ is natural sugar it’s okay.

But the high-fructose corn syrup used in a cola is also natural sugar in the sense that it was grown on a farm. There even happens to be less of it in your average soda than in juice.

And I’m not really saying that you should drink soda instead of juice because it’s healthier, but somehow fruit juice is one of those things people think is good for them.

I tried for a while to think of their place but there’s nothing I would say is absolutely necessary. What is their place?

They’re a dessert, treat them like you would ice cream or a chocolate bar instead of treating them like water
