Orange juice prevents kidney problem
A study found that orange juice increased levels of citrate in the urine and reduced the crystallization of uric acid and calcium oxalate, the most common components of kidney stones. Lemonade did not increase citrate levels.
Orange juice is a fruit juice obtained by squeezing or pressing the interior of an orange. It is enjoyed as a beverage in many parts of the world and is often commonly associated with breakfast. Under U.S. law, products labeled “orange juice” must contain 100 percent real juice and pulp to be labeled as such. Orange drink may contain orange juice, but often contains added sugar.
An independent study finds that orange juice beats lemonade and other citrus fruit juices in helping to keep kidney stones at bay. Via YahOo!
