Foods that have been processed in some way or changed are considered ârefined.â Since one or more of their edible components is removed in the processing, these foods are technically no longer considered ânatural.â. One reason this is troublesome is because nutrients are lost in the processing. For example, when an orange is processed into orange juice, the membrane and pulp are removed. Vitamins, minerals, and fiber are also removed when you do not eat a whole orange. Orange juice is also higher in calories since one cup of orange juice is equivalent to about four oranges.
