Yes orange juice does cure the a cold. Orange Juice has vitamin C in it which helps your immune system greatly. According to Wikipedia (so its not that credible), Vitamin C is a good antioxidant. To put it simply an Antioxidant stops the cold from spreading through your body and therefore makes it easier to kill the cold faster.

Answer 2

It is said that drinking orange juice or eating oranges can stop colds. This is partially true. The reason people say this is because oranges contain Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a very important nutrient that helps keep the body healthy, including assisting the body in curing colds faster. Drinking orange juice does not necessarily get rid of a cold by the snap of a finger, but it helps your body fight off a cold quicker than it would without the assistance of Vitamin C. Rather than drinking or eating oranges, you can take a Vitamin C pill or drink. The pill or drink will help get rid of the cold just as fast or even faster than oranges would. As some like to say, Vitamin C is the key, not oranges!

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

it is said that Vitamin C is best for fighting viruses, so unless your apple juice is super VitaminC fortified, I'd go with OJ

OJ is good to drink anytime, as it has many vitamins and nutrients your body needs. However, if you have a fever, take an advil and go see a doctor.
