Protocol Ratings

Acid Reflux AMBER

Acid Reflux Protocol

Oranges are acidic (pH 3.7–4.3) but the fibre content partially buffers the citric acid. Small portions are usually tolerated, but the acidity can trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Low Sugar AMBER

Low Sugar Protocol

Oranges contain 9.4g total sugar per 100g, but the 2.4g fibre significantly slows absorption. As a whole fruit, these are intrinsic sugars — unlike orange juice where the sugars become free sugars (WHO/SACN).
