How come orange juice tastes so awful after you brush your teeth?  
I mean, is there a chemical reaction between the two compounds to make
a yucky tasting compound?  Do the enzymes in your mouth get confused?
What's going on? Is it a conspiracy that orange juice is traditionally 
a morning supplement- the very time of day we have been taught to 
brush our teeth!?
