Polysaccharides (ie glucose, fructose) by itself is not a problem. But these tend to be more destructive when one eats too much of any sugars. An overwhelming majority of us do. Many foods are routinely 'improved' to increase sales - even bread. A body with too many sugars is then (recent research suggests) much more susceptible to damage by those polysaccharides.
Many food labels simply use multiple names for sugars so that sugar does not appear as the #1 ingredient.
Generally, it takes maybe three days just to reduce those sugar levels in places such as the liver (yes, this is a ballpark number based in how much sugar was being consumed and the diet in those three days). An example of why low sugar diets have so little effect until at least day three.
We also know that excessive sugar is one reason for less memory retention.
So should one not consume Orange juice? Of course not. If any food has no nutritional value (even sugar free diet foods), then it only creates more or future problems. Foods that contain sugars must also have required nutritional benefits. Orange juice does (if not consumed in excess). No sodas (pop) do - not even diet drinks.
