To fortify the body against cold and flu viruses, people usually eat soup or drink orange juice. This may be a nice and effective trick to prevent yourself from catching cold or flu. When people feel threatened, they tend to increase the volume of the orange juice the take. However, orange juice actually can cause you more problems when you take them in a large dose.
The harm which comes from orange juice is the acid it contains. Consuming too much orange juice means letting too much acid goes inside your body, sometimes more than your body can handle. When overdose acid goes inside your body, you will make your stomach pains seriously. The further implication can be as terrible causing cancer.
A study showed that the number of colon cancer patients in Chile increased since wheat and fiber were fortified with folic acid. The conditioned then worsened by when the patients consumed acidic meals such as orange juice.
The good news is, there are medicines which can help you to cope with the problem. Antacids such as Tums and Raids are effective enough to reverse the acidic condition. For an emergency situation, baking soda can be an alternative since it is a base. Just mix it with water and drink it.
