Americans have grown up believing that orange juice is a healthy way to begin the day, so we were surprised to hear that orange juice consumption had dropped 17 percent in the last five years. Orange juice and citrus growers have become unlikely victims of the low- carb diets. Here"s ABC"s Jeffrey Kofman.   In the orange groves of central Florida, they have never seen a crop this bountiful. But even as this shapes up to be the biggest harvest in Florida history, no one here is celebrating.   In the quarter century that he has been growing oranges, Squire Smith says he has never seen prices so low. He has also never had to defend the health value of his oranges, until now. More than ninety percent of Florida"s oranges are used for juice. So, it is not surprising that orange growers are concerned.   For decades, orange juice has been an American breakfast ritual and an ever- expanding market. One reason people like orange juice so much is the natural sugar that makes it so sweet. But that sugar is in the form of carbohydrates, and suddenly carb has become a four-letter word.   And all those low-carb diets take aim at orange juice. "Avoid fruit juices," advises the Atkins Diet. "Fruit juice can be the undoing of any effort to lose weight," says the South Beach Diet.   Growers are so concerned about OJ"s bad reputation that the state is even considering suing some of the diet doctors. This month, big juice companies are launching their own counterattack, introducing a new, low-carb, artificially sweetened OJ.   At the same time, the industry will launch a campaign arguing that not all carbs are alike, that with all its nutrients, pure orange juice should be considered a smart carb.
