Orange juice and boiling hot water mixed together?!
Answers:
Actually, I believe heat kills most of the vitamins. Not sure about the antioxidents.
It also cannot remove any of the sugar. If you mix 8 oz of OJ with 8 oz of water and drink the whole thing, you are still getting the same amount of sugar as if you drank it straight (which is about the equivalent of 2 or 3 oranges).
People put water in juice to dilute it, say 4 oz juice + 4 oz water = one whole 8 oz drink with half the sugar than an 8 oz glass of juice. But the water, hot or cold, can't make the sugar go away. Or the acidity for that matter, again it just dilutes it.
