Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and vitamin that can help to protect against heart disease and some cancers, and also help to minimize the duration and effects of the common cold. When most people think about vitamin C their minds gravitate to orange juice. While advertised as an important vitamin C source, the sugar content of juice likely works counter to any health goals.
