Misunderstanding Orange Juice as a Health Drink - Adee Braun. Juice is, nutritionally, not much better than soda. How did U.S. consumers come to believe that oranges, in any form, were an important part of a healthy diet? A tall glass of orange juice is the very image of refreshment, packed with vitamins and radiating with sunshine freshness. It’s part of a balanced breakfast, after all. But America’s classic morning drink is in trouble: sales of commercial orange juice are down to their lowest levels in the last 15 seasons, according to the WSJ and the Florida Department of Citrus.

The industry is facing growing competition from exotic fruit and energy drinks while its “all-natural” claims are being called into serious question.

The first experimental use of hydraulic fracturing was in 1947, and the first commercially successful applications were in 1949.

As of 2012, 2.5 million hydraulic fracturing jobs have been performed on oil and gas wells worldwide, more than one million of them in the United States.[4][5] Frac job in progress Geology[edit] Mechanics[edit] Fracturing in rocks at depth tends to be suppressed by the confining pressure, due to the immense load caused by the overlying rock strata and the cementation of the formation. Veins[edit] Dikes[edit] Low-level minor intrusions such as dikes propagate through the crust in the form of fluid-filled cracks, although in this case the fluid is magma. Non-hydraulic fracturing[edit] Fracturing as a method to stimulate shallow, hard rock oil wells dates back to the 1860s. Hydraulic fracturing in oil and gas wells[edit] The relationship between well performance and treatment pressures was studied by Floyd Farris of Stanolind Oil and Gas Corporation.

Uses[edit] Ryvita. Ryvita is a rye-based crispbread which until 2009 was manufactured by The Ryvita Company. The company was founded in Birmingham, England, in 1930 and is today a subsidiary of Associated British Foods. Ryvita crackers are popular with dieters. Ryvita are holders of a royal warrant granted by Queen Elizabeth II as 'Manufacturers of Crispbreads'. History[edit] In 1925, the Ryvita company was established, with a bakery set up in Birmingham two years later, producing one of the first packaged goods in the bakery field.

After the Second World War, Poole on the South Coast of England was selected as a desirable site for production due to its nearby port.
