Facts of Orange
Oranges are free of fat, sodium, and cholesterol. They are also high in fiber and vitamin C.
Although many factors affect the development of cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure, eating a diet low in fat and sodium and rich in fruits and vegetables, including oranges, may reduce the risk of these diseases.
Among substances present in oranges are phytochemicals that are thought to reduce the incidence of cancer. These include coumarins, flavonoids, D-limonene, terpenes, and folic acid.
