Drinking three 8-ounce glasses of orange, apricot, or papaya juice per day is ideal for raising your levels of antioxidants, including the carotenoid cryptoxanthin, and lowering your risk of chronic conditions. Just remember that juice is high in calories, so you may need to adjust your diet overall. In a recent study, researchers discovered that drinking about 8 ounces of ready-to-drink commercial orange juice three times per day for 3 weeks raised participants' blood levels of vitamin C by 59 percent, folate by 46 percent, carotenoids by 22 percent, and flavanones by 800 percent. Eat a variety of red, orange, yellow, green, and purple fruits and vegetables; different colors of produce tend to be high in different health-promoting nutrients.

I wonder what the results would be on slightly lower amounts?
I took the "shot" to me an ounce or ounce and 1/2 like a shot of rum. Not 3 entire 8 oz glasses.
