Is That Juice Really Healthy [Video]

Many people start their day off with a glass of orange juice, typically thinking the vitamin C and other nutrients it contains are a smart and healthy choice
It may come as a surprise that your carton of 100% pure juice is nowhere near close being natural. Many popular juice brands have to be chemically altered using ethyl butyrate - a compound that’s added to perfume as well as juice - in order to make it taste and smell like fruit!
Lets take orange juice for example. Have you ever wondered how all packaged orange juice tastes exactly the same no matter which season or from which part of the country you buy it. Naturally fruit juice tastes different based on seasonality and location. Sometimes sour, sometimes sweet. This logic can be applied to any fruit juice.
