Drink up

Keep orange juice in the refrigerator for too long, and it loses its nutritional value. That's the conclusion of a. study in the April 2002 issue of the Journal of t h e American Dietetic Association. Some ready-to-drink varieties lost all of their vitamin C content within a month of being opened, the researchers discovered.

Nutritionists recommend consuming juice within one week of purchase.
