Consumer Reports: Choosing The Right Orange Juice

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Picking out an orange juice used to be so simple. Now supermarket shelves are stocked full of choices.

To help consumer choose, Consumer Reports pitted Tropicana Original Pure Premium against other Tropicanas with extras: Calcium plus Vitamin D, Antioxidant Advantage, Healthy Kids and Healthy Heart with Omega-3S. All were "no-pulp."

All give you the same amount of calories, sugars, potassium and at least 100 percent of your daily Vitamin C per serving.

All of these Tropicana juices cost about the same, too. The ones with calcium have as much as a glass of skim milk, and as much Vitamin D.

"Well, as far as the added vitamins - you're probably better off getting those from the foods you eat than from a fortified product," Erin Gudeux said.

Consumer Reports also took a look at Trop 50 with 50 percent less sugar.

"Well, the testers said that it had a thinner consistency and a less intense orange juice flavor. And it also costs more," Gudeux said.

If you want to cut calories and sugar just add seltzer or water to your regular orange juice and save your money.
