In America, yes. This is exactly why I was surprised about this when I visted America. Americans thought it was strange I had it with dinner.

There's pros and cons to both brushing before and after eating. If you brush before eating, then you remove the plaque before it gets fed with sugars and food that makes it produce acidic waste. There's going to be a decent amount of plaque on your teeth in the morning since it's been growing all night.
Brushing after eating does of course have the pro of removing food stuck in your teeth. But you could always use a toothpick.

Orange juice is just candy with better marketing.
They take all the best parts of the fruit out and concentrate the bad parts until it is basically just flavored sugar water then try to convince you that drinking it is good for you because it has vitamin c.
So does the whole fruit and the fruit has fiber that ameliorates the sugar uptake and keeps you full. Have some strawberries with your orange as well, those have more vitamin C per ounce than oranges.

I know, all it does is eat at your teeth and pump you full of too much sugar.
Just eat the fruit or have it in smoothie form so you get the actual health benefits from the meat, rind, and pulp of very needed fruit. I LOVE fruit juice, but 9/10 it's as good as an uncarbonated soda in terms of "health benefits" :/

I never understood that at all. Anytime i hear people say to brush before eating i tell them "you're defeating the purpose of brushing, and ruining your first meal."
Brush after you eat. Let the fluoride do its job instead of rubbing it off with food.... And then ruining your breath a 2nd time.

The purpose of brushing in the morning is not to clean off your breakfast, it’s to clean off the damage that has happened while you’re sleeping. In fact, you need to wait for half hour or so after eating to brush without causing damage.

My dentist says that's bullshit.
Brushing after breakfast is meant to remove food material from the gums and prevent food from causing bacteria buildup.
Your mouth is perfectly capable of keeping itself clean overnight without external help unless you have some form of disease otherwise.
The half hour after breakfast is to prevent the softened enamel from being brushed off due to sugary foods. A quick rinse and spit can help alleviate this problem so long as you remove as much sugar as possible from your teeth.

Yes. Orange juice is just sugar water. Sure, if you just squeeze actual oranges and drink that (with the pulp!) then it's not bad. But orange juice from a carton at the supermarket, you might as well just crack open a can of Coke for breakfast.

There is a reason for this! Before WW1, the most common beverage to have with breakfast was actually beer. During the war, companies tried to make a powdered beer to put in with rations but it never worked properly. They ended up trying different fruit based drinks instead and the most successful one was orange flavored. So when the soldiers came back, they continued drinking orange juice with breakfast instead of beer and thus was born the trope. The second piece is fresh citrus was expensive unless you lived in an area that grew it so it was a status symbol that you were wealthy enough to have fresh fruit juice with your breakfast.

But your ok with a minty breakfast experience?
How bad is your morning breath that it pollutes the taste of your food that bad?
Could be improper digestion or even constipation resulting in halitosis?
Not being rude mate, just curious.

Ok to be serious, it's a mental thing. In reality, I probably don't notice. But I mind, I feel nasty if I don't brush my teeth right after waking up. How do I deal with the minty taste? Well to me, the minty taste is not as bad as having morning breath, so it's kind of a "lesser of two evils" thing. I also don't mind the taste really, because it doesn't bother. Third, I usually don't eat breakfast, and if I do, it happens hours after I wake up, and the toothpaste taste only lingers for a few minutes at most. Fourth, I drink a ton of water for "breakfast" to rehydrate from the night before, so the toothpaste taste gets washed away regardless.

The reason it makes OJ taste bad is that the foaming agent in toothpaste, SLS, damages your taste buds. It has nothing to do with the mint flavor. So all you have to do is get an SLS-free toothpaste and you can drink OJ right after brushing, no problem.

Good point. I don't usually do either in the mornings, but maybe someone who does could have breakfast then brush their teeth. When I brush after a meal, I feel significantly less food and snacking cravings.

Funny story. For the first 25 years of my life I thought I hated orange marmalade.
Until someone pointed out the only times I'd actually tried it were right after brushing my teeth in the morning. It kind of blew my mind that marmalade in fact doesn't taste like crap.

Pro tip: DO NOT eat or drink right after brushing your teeth. It actually destroys a protective layer around the teeth. Instead, use a copper tongue scrubber and rinse your mouth with water.

Who's having their breakfast AFTER brushing their teeth? Seems a little self-defeating.
I brush my teeth before bed, and again after the first thing I eat the next day. I thought that was normal.

You should brush your teeth after eating breakfast anyway. If you eat breakfast away from home, the minty taste has already gone away by then.

Just a quick search in google indicates that for various reasons (which are mentioned in this thread already) its more beneificial to brush before eating. And if you still insist on brushing afterwards, you should wait 30-60 minutes depending on your breakfast to not harm your teeth.

People were probably drinking orange juice in the morning before toothpaste had that foaming agent in it that messes up your taste buds. The tradition just stuck regardless. I've heard you can damage your teeth when you brush right after an acidic drink as the enamel is softened a little.

">\n\nYup, I can eat / drink near anything right after Sensodyne. Plus less canker sores now!",
">\n\nYeah that chemical is terrible! Love sensodyne!",
">\n\nOnly if you brush before breakfast, and if you're at home, why are you doing that?",
">\n\nI never understood that at all. Anytime i hear people say to brush before eating i tell them \"you're defeating the purpose of brushing, and ruining your first meal.\"\nBrush after you eat.

During the war, companies tried to make a powdered beer to put in with rations but it never worked properly. They ended up trying different fruit based drinks instead and the most successful one was orange flavored.

">\n\nBut your ok with a minty breakfast experience? \nHow bad is your morning breath that it pollutes the taste of your food that bad? \nCould be improper digestion or even constipation resulting in halitosis?\nNot being rude mate, just curious.",
">\n\nOk to be serious, it's a mental thing. In reality, I probably don't notice. But I mind, I feel nasty if I don't brush my teeth right after waking up. How do I deal with the minty taste? Well to me, the minty taste is not as bad as having morning breath, so it's kind of a \"lesser of two evils\" thing. I also don't mind the taste really, because it doesn't bother. Third, I usually don't eat breakfast, and if I do, it happens hours after I wake up, and the toothpaste taste only lingers for a few minutes at most. Fourth, I drink a ton of water for \"breakfast\" to rehydrate from the night before, so the toothpaste taste gets washed away regardless.",

">\n\nA lot of “traditions” in America are probably based off bad info",
">\n\nWhat's compatible with toothpaste besides a tooth brush homie",
">\n\nThe reason it makes OJ taste bad is that the foaming agent in toothpaste, SLS, damages your taste buds. It has nothing to do with the mint flavor. So all you have to do is get an SLS-free toothpaste and you can drink OJ right after brushing, no problem.",
">\n\nthats because yall dumbass are using bottom tier mint flavor toothpaste, cinnamon tothpaste is superior in everyway",
">\n\nGood point. I don't usually do either in the mornings, but maybe someone who does could have breakfast then brush their teeth. When I brush after a meal, I feel significantly less food and snacking cravings.",
">\n\nNo juice is good for breakfast... That'll make you hyperglycemic in a second. \nI never associated juice and breakfast... Only corporations suggest that garbage.",
">\n\nFunny story. For the first 25 years of my life I thought I hated orange marmalade.\nUntil someone pointed out the only times I'd actually tried it were right after brushing my teeth in the morning. It kind of blew my mind that marmalade in fact doesn't taste like crap.",
">\n\nPro tip: DO NOT eat or drink right after brushing your teeth. It actually destroys a protective layer around the teeth. Instead, use a copper tongue scrubber and rinse your mouth with water.",
">\n\nWho's having their breakfast AFTER brushing their teeth? Seems a little self-defeating.\nI brush my teeth before bed, and again after the first thing I eat the next day. I thought that was normal.",
">\n\nBecause it doesn't make sense to brush your teeth before you eat",
">\n\nYou should brush your teeth after eating breakfast anyway. If you eat breakfast away from home, the minty taste has already gone away by then.",
">\n\nMy dad always used to brush his teeth first thing in the morning and then eat breakfast.\nThat man baffled me sometimes.",
">\n\nThat's what dentists have recommended for years.",
">\n\nYou brush your teeth AFTER breakfast, otherwise it doesn't make any sense",
">\n\nJust a quick search in google indicates that for various reasons (which are mentioned in this thread already) its more beneificial to brush before eating. And if you still insist on brushing afterwards, you should wait 30-60 minutes depending on your breakfast to not harm your teeth.",
">\n\nThat's why I chew gum after breakfast instead of brushing...",
">\n\nWhat type of gum do you recommend?",
">\n\nAnything sugar free, I prefer peppermint+whitening",
">\n\nwell, I know of one dentist who would disagree.",
">\n\nIt's always one out of 10 dentists, innit?",
">\n\nStatistically, 1 out of 5. 4 out of 5 would recommend sugar-free gum for their patients who chew gum.",
">\n\nHave beer I’ve always noticed beer tastes good after brushing my teeth",
">\n\nProbably because people were drinking it for breakfast before toothpaste was invented. Also your should brush your teeth after breakfast not before",
">\n\nThe same goes for coffee.\nReally, any acidic drink in the morning is counterproductive when factoring in tooth brushing",
">\n\nPeople were probably drinking orange juice in the morning before toothpaste had that foaming agent in it that messes up your taste buds. The tradition just stuck regardless. I've heard you can damage your teeth when you brush right after an acidic drink as the enamel is softened a little.",
">\n\nIf your toothpaste doesn’t past the orange juice test then you should swap toothpastes.",
">\n\nEspecially since it's acidic and it's generally a bad idea to put acid first thing in your stomach in the morning",
">\n\nI mean, so is coffee. I just brushed my teeth so they are nicr and white, lemme douse them with one of the most teethstaining drinks ever.",
">\n\nBrush first, then drink OJ and you find it is surprisingly sweet.",
">\n\nAre you telling me orange juice after toothpaste is not delicious? Am I the only one who unironically enjoys this taste?",
">\n\nI recently heard that Simply Orange is in some hot water over chemicals in their orange juice. IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE?!",
">\n\nMint flavored toothpaste was created fairy recently, people have been drinking the juice from oranges for..I don’t know when oranges were first around.",
">\n\nThat is one bad flavor that was also a guilty pleasure as a kid"

Orange juice breakfast is not a thing in Asia. I guess they never bothered to market it here.
It's weird. Why would you drink something that acidic and cold in the morning? Drink something warm like coffee or tea.

">\n\nMy dentist says that's bullshit. \nBrushing after breakfast is meant to remove food material from the gums and prevent food from causing bacteria buildup.\nYour mouth is perfectly capable of keeping itself clean overnight without external help unless you have some form of disease otherwise.\nThe half hour after breakfast is to prevent the softened enamel from being brushed off due to sugary foods.

">\n\nWhat came first into our morning routine? Orange juice or toothpase? \nmaybe toothpaste was in the wrong all alone, I stan for orange juice",
">\n\nNo it was definitely toothpaste. Orange juice was pushed on American society by the sugar industry.",
">\n\nSo you're telling me my life was a lie",
">\n\nYes. Orange juice is just sugar water. Sure, if you just squeeze actual oranges and drink that (with the pulp!) then it's not bad. But orange juice from a carton at the supermarket, you might as well just crack open a can of Coke for breakfast.",
">\n\nThere is a reason for this! Before WW1, the most common beverage to have with breakfast was actually beer. During the war, companies tried to make a powdered beer to put in with rations but it never worked properly. They ended up trying different fruit based drinks instead and the most successful one was orange flavored. So when the soldiers came back, they continued drinking orange juice with breakfast instead of beer and thus was born the trope. The second piece is fresh citrus was expensive unless you lived in an area that grew it so it was a status symbol that you were wealthy enough to have fresh fruit juice with your breakfast.",

Well to me, the minty taste is not as bad as having morning breath, so it's kind of a \"lesser of two evils\" thing. I also don't mind the taste really, because it doesn't bother. Third, I usually don't eat breakfast, and if I do, it happens hours after I wake up, and the toothpaste taste only lingers for a few minutes at most.

">\n\nThe purpose of brushing in the morning is not to clean off your breakfast, it’s to clean off the damage that has happened while you’re sleeping. In fact, you need to wait for half hour or so after eating to brush without causing damage.",

">\n\nThere is a reason for this! Before WW1, the most common beverage to have with breakfast was actually beer. During the war, companies tried to make a powdered beer to put in with rations but it never worked properly.

So when the soldiers came back, they continued drinking orange juice with breakfast instead of beer and thus was born the trope.

Third, I usually don't eat breakfast, and if I do, it happens hours after I wake up, and the toothpaste taste only lingers for a few minutes at most.

So, I am allergic to a chemical in most toothpaste called "sodium lauryl sulphate"; which, it turns out, is the chemical that messes with your taste buds and makes orange juice awful. So with the stuff I use now it is just a bad combination of flavours for a couple of sips, rather than the usual jaw-clenching vileness.
So if this happens to you often, look for toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulphate in it :)

">\n\nThere is a reason for this! Before WW1, the most common beverage to have with breakfast was actually beer. During the war, companies tried to make a powdered beer to put in with rations but it never worked properly.

">\n\nI had a friend in HS and every morning his grandma gave him orange juice and Oreos. What a horrible combination",
">\n\nSo, I am allergic to a chemical in most toothpaste called \"sodium lauryl sulphate\"; which, it turns out, is the chemical that messes with your taste buds and makes orange juice awful. So with the stuff I use now it is just a bad combination of flavours for a couple of sips, rather than the usual jaw-clenching vileness. \nSo if this happens to you often, look for toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulphate in it :)"

I learned this year that there are people who LOVE the OJ/toothpaste thing that happens, and will do it intentionally!
This does not negate your point, but damn, there is something for everyone out there

">\n\nYes. Orange juice is just sugar water. Sure, if you just squeeze actual oranges and drink that (with the pulp!) then it's not bad. But orange juice from a carton at the supermarket, you might as well just crack open a can of Coke for breakfast.",
">\n\nThere is a reason for this! Before WW1, the most common beverage to have with breakfast was actually beer. During the war, companies tried to make a powdered beer to put in with rations but it never worked properly. They ended up trying different fruit based drinks instead and the most successful one was orange flavored. So when the soldiers came back, they continued drinking orange juice with breakfast instead of beer and thus was born the trope.

Third, I usually don't eat breakfast, and if I do, it happens hours after I wake up, and the toothpaste taste only lingers for a few minutes at most. Fourth, I drink a ton of water for \"breakfast\" to rehydrate from the night before, so the toothpaste taste gets washed away regardless.",

">\n\nA lot of “traditions” in America are probably based off bad info",

">\n\nFunny story. For the first 25 years of my life I thought I hated orange marmalade.\nUntil someone pointed out the only times I'd actually tried it were right after brushing my teeth in the morning. It kind of blew my mind that marmalade in fact doesn't taste like crap.",
">\n\nPro tip: DO NOT eat or drink right after brushing your teeth. It actually destroys a protective layer around the teeth. Instead, use a copper tongue scrubber and rinse your mouth with water.",

">\n\nWhat type of gum do you recommend?",
">\n\nAnything sugar free, I prefer peppermint+whitening",
">\n\nwell, I know of one dentist who would disagree.",
">\n\nIt's always one out of 10 dentists, innit?",
">\n\nStatistically, 1 out of 5. 4 out of 5 would recommend sugar-free gum for their patients who chew gum.",
">\n\nHave beer I’ve always noticed beer tastes good after brushing my teeth",

Third, I usually don't eat breakfast, and if I do, it happens hours after I wake up, and the toothpaste taste only lingers for a few minutes at most. Fourth, I drink a ton of water for \"breakfast\" to rehydrate from the night before, so the toothpaste taste gets washed away regardless.",
">\n\nShit mate take a breath, I'm kinda tired just reading your points. In all seriousness you do you bud. Was just engaging and innocently wondering. \nHave a class night.",

">\n\nMy tradition with oj is with alcohol or about 4 hours after the mushrooms.",
">\n\nApple Juice is really the star of morning drinks imo. Orange Juice is great for an afternoon snack.",
">\n\nMaybe because you're meant to brush your teeth after you've had breakfast, not before?",
">\n\nIt's incompatible because you weirdos brush your teeth before eating",
">\n\nYou’re supposed to brush your teeth after, not before eating/drinking.",
">\n\nA lot of “traditions” in America are probably based off bad info",
">\n\nWhat's compatible with toothpaste besides a tooth brush homie",
">\n\nThe reason it makes OJ taste bad is that the foaming agent in toothpaste, SLS, damages your taste buds. It has nothing to do with the mint flavor. So all you have to do is get an SLS-free toothpaste and you can drink OJ right after brushing, no problem.",
">\n\nthats because yall dumbass are using bottom tier mint flavor toothpaste, cinnamon tothpaste is superior in everyway",
">\n\nGood point. I don't usually do either in the mornings, but maybe someone who does could have breakfast then brush their teeth. When I brush after a meal, I feel significantly less food and snacking cravings.",
">\n\nNo juice is good for breakfast... That'll make you hyperglycemic in a second. \nI never associated juice and breakfast... Only corporations suggest that garbage.",
">\n\nFunny story. For the first 25 years of my life I thought I hated orange marmalade.\nUntil someone pointed out the only times I'd actually tried it were right after brushing my teeth in the morning. It kind of blew my mind that marmalade in fact doesn't taste like crap.",
">\n\nPro tip: DO NOT eat or drink right after brushing your teeth. It actually destroys a protective layer around the teeth. Instead, use a copper tongue scrubber and rinse your mouth with water.",
">\n\nWho's having their breakfast AFTER brushing their teeth? Seems a little self-defeating.\nI brush my teeth before bed, and again after the first thing I eat the next day. I thought that was normal.",
">\n\nBecause it doesn't make sense to brush your teeth before you eat",
">\n\nYou should brush your teeth after eating breakfast anyway. If you eat breakfast away from home, the minty taste has already gone away by then.",
">\n\nMy dad always used to brush his teeth first thing in the morning and then eat breakfast.\nThat man baffled me sometimes.",
">\n\nThat's what dentists have recommended for years.",
">\n\nYou brush your teeth AFTER breakfast, otherwise it doesn't make any sense",
">\n\nJust a quick search in google indicates that for various reasons (which are mentioned in this thread already) its more beneificial to brush before eating. And if you still insist on brushing afterwards, you should wait 30-60 minutes depending on your breakfast to not harm your teeth.",
">\n\nThat's why I chew gum after breakfast instead of brushing...",
">\n\nWhat type of gum do you recommend?",
">\n\nAnything sugar free, I prefer peppermint+whitening",
">\n\nwell, I know of one dentist who would disagree.",
">\n\nIt's always one out of 10 dentists, innit?",
">\n\nStatistically, 1 out of 5. 4 out of 5 would recommend sugar-free gum for their patients who chew gum.",
">\n\nHave beer I’ve always noticed beer tastes good after brushing my teeth",
">\n\nProbably because people were drinking it for breakfast before toothpaste was invented. Also your should brush your teeth after breakfast not before",
">\n\nThe same goes for coffee.\nReally, any acidic drink in the morning is counterproductive when factoring in tooth brushing",
">\n\nPeople were probably drinking orange juice in the morning before toothpaste had that foaming agent in it that messes up your taste buds. The tradition just stuck regardless. I've heard you can damage your teeth when you brush right after an acidic drink as the enamel is softened a little.",
">\n\nIf your toothpaste doesn’t past the orange juice test then you should swap toothpastes.",
">\n\nEspecially since it's acidic and it's generally a bad idea to put acid first thing in your stomach in the morning",
">\n\nI mean, so is coffee. I just brushed my teeth so they are nicr and white, lemme douse them with one of the most teethstaining drinks ever.",
">\n\nBrush first, then drink OJ and you find it is surprisingly sweet.",
">\n\nAre you telling me orange juice after toothpaste is not delicious? Am I the only one who unironically enjoys this taste?",
">\n\nI recently heard that Simply Orange is in some hot water over chemicals in their orange juice. IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE?!",
">\n\nMint flavored toothpaste was created fairy recently, people have been drinking the juice from oranges for..I don’t know when oranges were first around.",
">\n\nThat is one bad flavor that was also a guilty pleasure as a kid",
">\n\nNo it isn't. Where I am from most of us we drink sauerkraut juice, especially after drinking the day before.",
">\n\nI’m surprised that “Big Orange” hasn’t had this removed! Be careful",
">\n\nOrange juice breakfast is not a thing in Asia. I guess they never bothered to market it here.\nIt's weird. Why would you drink something that acidic and cold in the morning? Drink something warm like coffee or tea.",
">\n\n\nsomething that acidic and cold in the morning \n\nReminds me of my ex wife.",
">\n\nIn the last 20 years, OJ consumption has dropped by more than half.",
">\n\nI had a friend in HS and every morning his grandma gave him orange juice and Oreos. What a horrible combination",
">\n\nSo, I am allergic to a chemical in most toothpaste called \"sodium lauryl sulphate\"; which, it turns out, is the chemical that messes with your taste buds and makes orange juice awful. So with the stuff I use now it is just a bad combination of flavours for a couple of sips, rather than the usual jaw-clenching vileness. \nSo if this happens to you often, look for toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulphate in it :)",
">\n\nOrange juice is traditional in US and popular american movies",
">\n\nI learned this year that there are people who LOVE the OJ/toothpaste thing that happens, and will do it intentionally! \nThis does not negate your point, but damn, there is something for everyone out there",
">\n\nGet SLS-free toothpaste. That ingredient is what causes the bad aftertaste."

YSK that some medication can be essentially neutralized by Citric Acid. I learned this recently about my depression medication recently. I cut out citric acid in the morning and noticed a major difference.

He just enjoys being famous and increasing his wealth.",
">\n\nPretty much everything is incompatible with toothpaste, except maybe leg of lamb or mint chocolate chip ice cream",
">\n\nOr root beer.",
">\n\nYeah — even though it absolutely annihilates everything you were trying to do with the toothpaste — Coke, Pepsi, root beer, just sugary soda in general works pretty well.",
">\n\nWell root beer is also made with sassafras or wintergreen which gives it a mint flavor. Most root beers are a mix of mint and aged vanilla.",
">\n\nHuh…I was not aware of that. I guess that would set it apart from the other sodas I mentioned. I just remember my sister used to have to have a coke after she brushed her teeth bc she absolutely abhorred the taste of toothpaste (idk how — we were a Crest family, so maybe that had something to do w it?). But yeah, root beer would likely go better.",
">\n\nCoke makes sense, too. But the reason most people who hate root beer hate it is because it tastes like mint. I did an experiment with my students one day. I gave them a mint life saver (one in the green bag, NOT blue) and then had them drink a mint and they couldn’t untaste it 😂😂😂\nI ruined root beer for a lot of teens that day.",
">\n\nI’m pretty sure you just ruined it for me. I never ever drank root beer & thought, “mmmm, minty!” However, now that you mention it, there is a STRONG sensory-recall correlation (just coined that scientific phrase)between root beer & wintergreen life savers now that I think of it.",

">\n\nNo, I don't want my morning breath mixing with the flavor of my food 🤢",

">\n\nYeah, you do your thing, I do my thing. We're not forcing each other to adopt the same habits. Besides, I'm able to do this because I usually don't eat breakfast (I just drink water and coffee), and if I do, it happens hours after I wake up.",
">\n\nDrinking coffee after brushing your teeth is like un-brushing your teeth.",
">\n\nI don't care",
">\n\nFair",
">\n\nMight be just where you live. I didn’t even know people drink orange juice on the regular. We have full oranges 🍊 and it’s mostly for desert.",
">\n\nIn America, yes. This is exactly why I was surprised about this when I visted America. Americans thought it was strange I had it with dinner.\nBesides the taste, brushing teeth within 30 mins of some acidic drink is really bad for teeth AFAIK.",
">\n\nBrushing after drinking it for sure. I can't say for the reverse",
">\n\nWho eats breakfast after brushing their teeth?",
">\n\nThere's pros and cons to both brushing before and after eating. If you brush before eating, then you remove the plaque before it gets fed with sugars and food that makes it produce acidic waste. There's going to be a decent amount of plaque on your teeth in the morning since it's been growing all night. \nBrushing after eating does of course have the pro of removing food stuck in your teeth. But you could always use a toothpick.",
">\n\nOrange juice is just candy with better marketing. \nThey take all the best parts of the fruit out and concentrate the bad parts until it is basically just flavored sugar water then try to convince you that drinking it is good for you because it has vitamin c. \nSo does the whole fruit and the fruit has fiber that ameliorates the sugar uptake and keeps you full. Have some strawberries with your orange as well, those have more vitamin C per ounce than oranges.",
">\n\nBut I mean, you’re assuming processed ones right? If you get naturally squeezed OJ, it isn’t liquid candy. It’s fruit in Liquid form.",
">\n\nSure, but all the nutrients is in the fibre of the physical fruit. The juice is mostly sugar.",
">\n\nI press my own oranges that I grow. It has a lot of pulp. I don’t think it’s basically sugar water. Am I wrong?",
">\n\nPulp does have a small bit of fibre but you're still missing out on most of the important fibre in the fruit.\nJust the juice is Bailey just pure sugar.",
">\n\nTell me you're using voice to text without telling me you're using voice to text.",
">\n\nI'm not using voice to text. I'm just typing on a phone keyboard with autocorrect",
">\n\nI still don’t know why people brush their teeth before breakfast instead of after",
">\n\nI know, all it does is eat at your teeth and pump you full of too much sugar. \nJust eat the fruit or have it in smoothie form so you get the actual health benefits from the meat, rind, and pulp of very needed fruit. I LOVE fruit juice, but 9/10 it's as good as an uncarbonated soda in terms of \"health benefits\" :/",
">\n\nFYI \nIt's the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in toothpaste that makes it foam up that reacts with things like OJ. \nSensodyne doesn't use SLS so no bad reactions!",
">\n\nYup, I can eat / drink near anything right after Sensodyne. Plus less canker sores now!",
">\n\nYeah that chemical is terrible! Love sensodyne!",
">\n\nOnly if you brush before breakfast, and if you're at home, why are you doing that?",
">\n\nI never understood that at all. Anytime i hear people say to brush before eating i tell them \"you're defeating the purpose of brushing, and ruining your first meal.\"\nBrush after you eat. Let the fluoride do its job instead of rubbing it off with food.... And then ruining your breath a 2nd time.",
">\n\nThe purpose of brushing in the morning is not to clean off your breakfast, it’s to clean off the damage that has happened while you’re sleeping. In fact, you need to wait for half hour or so after eating to brush without causing damage.",
">\n\nMy dentist says that's bullshit. \nBrushing after breakfast is meant to remove food material from the gums and prevent food from causing bacteria buildup.\nYour mouth is perfectly capable of keeping itself clean overnight without external help unless you have some form of disease otherwise.\nThe half hour after breakfast is to prevent the softened enamel from being brushed off due to sugary foods. A quick rinse and spit can help alleviate this problem so long as you remove as much sugar as possible from your teeth.",
">\n\nThat's because you're means to brush your teeth after breakfast, not before.",
">\n\nWhy are you eating breakfast AFTER you’ve brushed your teeth?",
">\n\nBecause I don't want my morning breath mixing with the flavor of my food.",
">\n\nyour breathe is so bad that you can taste it?",
">\n\nWhat came first into our morning routine? Orange juice or toothpase? \nmaybe toothpaste was in the wrong all alone, I stan for orange juice",
">\n\nNo it was definitely toothpaste. Orange juice was pushed on American society by the sugar industry.",
">\n\nSo you're telling me my life was a lie",
">\n\nYes. Orange juice is just sugar water. Sure, if you just squeeze actual oranges and drink that (with the pulp!) then it's not bad. But orange juice from a carton at the supermarket, you might as well just crack open a can of Coke for breakfast.",
">\n\nThere is a reason for this! Before WW1, the most common beverage to have with breakfast was actually beer. During the war, companies tried to make a powdered beer to put in with rations but it never worked properly. They ended up trying different fruit based drinks instead and the most successful one was orange flavored. So when the soldiers came back, they continued drinking orange juice with breakfast instead of beer and thus was born the trope. The second piece is fresh citrus was expensive unless you lived in an area that grew it so it was a status symbol that you were wealthy enough to have fresh fruit juice with your breakfast.",
">\n\nThat’s why I switched to Diet Coke. Nothing blocks the delicious taste of metal and cancer.",
">\n\nAre people brushing their teeth before breakfast? I always wait until after eating because it's waaaaay better for your teeth",
