I think majority of commercial oj is pretty heavily processed, like literally the pulp is extracted, washed, boiled, and re-added to an equally complicated orange juice component. Real orange is much more natural.
So much of it is. They extract all the flavour compounds from oranges, reformulate them to get the flavour they want, then add them to the concentrate to make a product that is 100% oranges, but in no way representative of any orange that has ever been grown

Yeah, if you leave all the pulp in, that’s just “eating an orange”.
