WHen I was looking into my possible allergies I went to an integrative
medicine specialist. He told me that the process by which juice is
extracted for commercial juices, including the "not from concentrate"
ones, involves squeezing the oranges, then letting a mold grow on them,
and squeezing again. Apparently the mold increases yield and is
completely harmless to most people.

This fellow is an MD with a lot of specialized training in allergies and
similar areas. I assume he knows whereof he speaks but do not have any
independent verification.
