Judging the Juices

Pulp polarizes people. They either can't get enough of it or can't stand a single strand. Despite the various levels of pulpiness on the shelves, Real Simple's taste test of commercial and fresh-squeezed orange juices revealed that pulp people and no-pulp people were more swayed by how sweet or tart a glass of juice was (sugar content typically ranges from 22 to 27 grams per serving) than by how much pulp was in it. That makes sense: A perfect glass of orange juice should taste like a perfect orange in a glass. And some people consider the perfect orange sweet; others, tart.
