Hi.
I have tried a wide range of orange juices and fruit juices, and I have come to the conclusion that 99.9% of what is sold out there is complete utter garbage. Ray Peat is correct when he is particular about what to look for with these things. Anyway, recently, after stumbling across a random thread on the Peatarian forums, I came across a brand of orange juice that is simply awesome. I am not saying that there is not anything else out there that is better, but this brand of orange juice is one that I can actually enjoy. It's unpasteurized, and not treated with enzymes. A guy in the thread (linked below) spoke about how he had messaged all of the main UK supermarkets, and this brand of orange juice apparantly had these qualities. I ended up trying it, not really expecting anything special. I was blown away by it's taste. It actually tastes like oranges (it advertizes that 16 are squeezed into a quart), and gives me absolutely no digestive troubles. It tastes exactly the same as the orange juice that I have done whilst juicing (which is laborious, time consuming and pain in the ****). Drinking this brand of orange juice, is simply effortless. Hell, if it was made in a different country, I would even go to the lengths of importing it. I feel that lucky that I am able to go to my local supermarket and clear their shelves, twice each week
In the thread, the poster who first mentioned it, also mentioned that it also goes off if left out of the fridge for a few days. To me, that seems like the sort of OJ I want to be drinking. Not this, cheap manufactured, chemically altered orange sugar water (with the alternative brands I have tried - and yes, I've tried at least 10).
Here is the thread: http://peatarian.com/11075/safe-oj-in-the-uk
The brand of orange juice is: pure freshly squeezed valencia orange juice, from Marks & Spencer (A top end UK supermarket).
Yes, it's top end, but the OJ is very afforfadble. It's about £2.70 for one litre, but, you can buy 2 bottles for £4. Which makes it cheaper than a litre of rank manufactured tropicana (one of the worst I've tried).
So, yes. Anyway, just spreading the information for anyone else who is here in the UK. If you haven't tried this brand of OJ, I urge you do so. I am drinking at least 3 quarts of this stuff a day now, and I haven't looked back. I am absolutely certain that it is benefitting my health, along with my intake of milk and ice cream at bed time.
Thanks.
