Both most popular drinks in the US, orange juice and apple juice, are delicious, low-calorie beverages with many nutrients and no fat. But if you're choosing, go for OJ. It's known as a vitamin C powerhouse and boasts almost twice the potassium of apple juice. It also contains about a quarter of the recommended daily allowance for folic acid, which lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke. Apple juice has a healthful amount of potassium and vitamin C but lacks folic acid.
