I just came across an interesting study. Drinking orange juice when eating a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal buffers the pro-inflammatory effects of such a meal. "Orange juice intake with the HFHC meal prevented meal-induced oxidative and inflammatory stress, including the increase in endotoxin and TLR expression" "This potent effect of orange juice is probably attributable to its flavonoids, naringenin, and hesperidin". Something to keep in mind for your next cheat meal.

Orange juice neutralizes the proinflammatory effect of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate meal and prevents endotoxin increase and Toll-like receptor expression1 - PMC
Background: The intake of glucose or a high-fat, high-carbohydrate (HFHC) meal, but not orange juice, induces an increase in inflammation and oxidative stress in circulating mononuclear cells (MNCs) of normal-weight subjects. Objective: We ...
