The following health tip is taken from Taking Charge of Your Health, a health series created to help you live a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life.
Keeping Vitamin C in Juice Are you really getting all the Vitamin C you need from your daily glass of juice with breakfast? This is your speaker for Taking Charge of Your Health. If you buy orange or grapefruit juices in chilled cartons, make sure the sell-by date is three weeks to four weeks away and try to finish the carton with a week of opening it. Otherwise, there can be a significant loss of vitamin C. While the carton label may claim the juice contains 100% of the daily value for vitamin C, it may have half that amount or less, depending on how long it sits around closed or open. Cartons with a sealable lid retain more vitamin C than cartons that have non-resealable tops. It has something to do with the oxygen which gets to the juice. So keep your juices fresh and sealed.
