Answers:
jiuce that thinks a lot

means it's mixed with water

that's the frozen juice that you have to add water to before you drink it.

Frozen concentrated juice is prepared from the unfermented, unsweetened concentrated juice determined by titration with a standard sodium hydroxide.

Means that it's not pure juice. It's actually Mixed with water and added lot of sugar and preservatives to make it taste like juice.

I always buy not from concentrate!

concentrated means water has been evaporated from the juice.

'From concentrate' means water has been evaporated, the product is stored, then water is added again.
Fresh juice will not be from concentrate.

It is frozen juice with water.

Only skysong seems to know what she is talking about. Juice is made by extracting the liquid from fresh fruit. If you heat the juice, then water boils off and this water (steam) is removed via a column attached to a hose that drains it off. This process reduces the volume of liquid by about 50-60% or more and concentrates the sugars and ester flavors (esters are acetate compounds that have fruity flavors) which occur naturally in the fruit. At this step you can add small amounts of concentrated flavor to water and either add sugar or extra esters to enhance flavor and then sell it as "made from concentrate" or if you just add extra esters you can say "no sugar added", or "all natural" if you don't add anything extra. The benefit of this process is only that it sterilizes the juice and it can be bottled for long term storage as opposed to selling fresh juices that would go bad quickly
