Orange Juice has about 120 calories as I recall.  It causes your blood 
sugar to rise very quickly resulting in a large insulin release. 
Insulin and blood sugar are the primary ingredients in causing aging and 
disease and both signal cells in the body to build up stores of sugar 
and trigs.  I personally avoid all juices, sodas, and anything with 
added sugar.  Unsweetened coffee or tea is preferable by far and one can 
sweeten those items with the natural sweetener, Stevia.

I have a cup of raw organic cocoa every morning and sweeten it with 
stevia.  While cocoa is a carb, it is extremely high in fiber and many 
recent studies tout the significant benefits of cocoa which often 
outweigh the negatives of it's added sugar content in process candies. 
I wanted it's benefit it the most available form and without any sugar 
added.  If I was a coffee drinker, I'd look for a raw organic version 
with minimal processing.
