Has anyone tried using steaming orange juice to battle a sore throat? J.J. left a comment on a previous spudart.org post suggesting this remedy. I am highly suspicious that boiling orange juice will result in some sort of Godzilla monster (colored orange) that will take over my apartment.
Steaming orange juice to battle a sore throat
Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31
LOL near your Godzilla comment. I don’t really see the benefit of drinking “hot acid”. I wonder if the heat would kill the vitamin C, the real benefit in orange juice.
Tom, you are brilliant! I was wondering the same thing about the vitamin C. WE are brilliant! 😀 I was chatting with peeps at work about this, and they were like, “why don’t you just drink the orange juice while putting your face in steam? ha! One of these days I’m gonna boil me some OJ.
Well, don’t knock it ’til ya try it, guys. Don’t boil it, just nuke it in the microwave for a bit. But be forewarned: it smells kinda funky…and it tastes even worse. But I’m still alive & kickin’….with only a wee hint of Godzilla breath.
It smells funny and tastes even worse … plus it gives you Godzilla breath … nevermind that nuking the OJ potentially kills the Vitamin C (though the jury is still out on that one) What’s the benefit again, J.J.? I’ll take my OJ nice and cold. While you’re at it, throw in a shot of vodka :o) OK, I’m sorry … I didn’t mean to use “OJ” and “jury” here.
WebMD has confirmed it: Light and heat both kill Vitamins, including C. Don’t nuke your OJ
webMD also confirmed that I may be suffering an acute thromboaric brain tumor too, but i’m thinking i’ll pull through
