Thankyou for posting these facts, Chimp. I knew some of them, but did'nt know there's this many!

Just checked the OJ at Walmart and they have Tropicana OJ 50&less sugar, and is using Purevia (Stevia) but there still is 10 g. of sugar in a 8 oz. glass!!

Guess I'll have to squeeze my oj oranges for fresh and no sugar added!
