In my opinion, if you are sick with a cold/flu and is only getting OJ in, I wouldn't be worried! You'd need the vitamins from it.. Better than water or tea.. Like Spencerella suggested, try the warm broths to help.

I drink Powerade Zero when I'm sick.  Ocean spray does a diet cranberry (still has about 40 calories a bottle I think)  I'd take a vitamin to get the mega dose of Vitamin C that you are craving.  Tea feels great when I have a cold.

Foods that are good sources of Vitamin C include:

  • Red peppers
  • Papayas
  • Green peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Strawberries  yummy yummy yummy!
  • Brussel Sprouts
  • Citrus fruits (oranges, grape fruit, etc.)
  • Kiwi Fruit
  • Tomato Soup
  • Kellogg's Product 19 cereal
  • General Mill's Whole Grain Total cereal
  • Cantaloupe
  • Mangos
  • Cauliflower
  • Cabbage
