I heard something yesterday on Dr. Oz
Arsenic has been found in Apple Juice! In alarming amounts. Now there is arsenic in our drinking water and they say its an acceptable level but still, when you think about the fact that parents give kids apple juice by the gallons thinking it is so good for them and it is the second most given drink next to milk, well...think about how much arsenic kids are getting!
The worst offender is Gerber with 36 parts parts per billion!!!! Think about it, thats the one that every one feeds their babies first. As pretty much newborns. How awful...brains still developing by leaps and bounds and arsenic is going in to lower IQs. No wonder Cory is the way he is! He couldnt drink formula so he drank juice. Ugh.
Then came Juicy Juice, Apple and Eve, but the best was Minute Maid. If you want to use Apple Juice, use that one. Only 3 parts per billion.
I am just so shocked really...and of course, this is a China and Argentina thing. If you look at the cans or boxes closely, you will see that most things will say that the juice is coming from china. But also apple juice is used to sweeten so many things...cereals, baked goods,etc.
