Orange
Also known as: arancia
GoodExposure route: Ingested
Orange is a whole fruit - a normal, healthy food for almost everyone.
Orange is a common citrus fruit eaten whole, juiced, or used as flavoring. It provides vitamin C, fiber, and water, with essentially no safety concerns at normal eating amounts. The main things to know are citrus allergy in rare cases and acid-related effects on teeth or reflux.
Why it matters
Orange is a fruit, not a manufactured additive. In food it's eaten fresh, juiced, or used as a flavor and source of vitamin C and fiber. In the body it's just food: sugars, fiber, water, vitamins (especially vitamin C) and plant compounds get digested normally. Almost nobody needs to worry about eating oranges as part of a normal diet.
