I've tried many different brands, and I find "Minute Maid" the best and freshest tasting. It's from concentrates. What bothers me is that they advertise a change in their juices. What change?

I totally feel your pain - I love orange juice! If you're only juicing citrus, a manual citrus juicer might work for you. My folks had one of these when I was growing up, and I remember really enjoying using it. This one's under $20 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Citrus-Juicer-Reamer/dp/B001SH9O4C/ Unfortunately, from what I understand they don’t have to list these additives, because they’re “derived” from oranges/orange oil.

I just checked my OJ for a list of ingredients and all it says is "100% orange juice" and something about the juice coming from the US and Mexico. If it doesn't list any additional chemicals on the back of the jug, should I still be worried? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
