Orange Juice

Orange juice. It's full of vitamin C, potassium, and folic acid. AND a surprise: Canadian research shows good-type HDL cholesterol rose 21% in people drinking up to three glasses of OJ daily for a month. Research at Harvard found that high consumption of citrus juice reduced the risk of a blood-clot stroke by 25%. Orange juice also has anticancer powers. This research says that animals fed orange juice are less likely to develop early colon and breast cancer. Drawbacks: less fiber and a third more calories in 3/4 cup juice (84 calories) than in one whole orange (62 calories).
