The FDA is upset with Dr. Oz, they stand behind the 27 parts per million being safe for consumption in apple juice. The thought that scares me is they safe it is safe, but 5 or 10 years from now what will be the long term effects? You are right, most discoveries don't occur until disaster strikes and if that level isn't safe for drinking water, it most likely isn't going to be safe for apple juice either.Concerned American Citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271105596032720148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549573280058300486.post-57921325027288271932011-09-15T12:57:43.465-04:002011-09-15T12:57:43.465-04:00I agree that the FDA can almost rarely prevent pro...I agree that the FDA can almost rarely prevent problems only mitigate them. The only thing is that mosts discoveries of these nature don't occur until disaster strikes. Products are tested when they first come out but even the smallest things can alter their composition. It would be interesting to know what (1) prompted Dr. Oz to test the juices like an anonymous tip for example and (2) how many, if any, tests does the FDA regularly do in products that have been around for ages. Brands like Motts are trusted by Americans so would that play a part in the FDA's actions?<br /><br />Friend from blog hop discovering your blog :)Laurahttp://blog.dialdoctors.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549573280058300486.post-32806240647190855012011-09-15T12:50:19.019-04:002011-09-15T12:50:19.019-04:00This is scary, most products nowadays are just rel...This is scary, most products nowadays are just relabeled.

I have become ...Yeah, I have heard that one before. I have become more aware the last few years about how much of our food and products are imported, all the chemicals they spray our vegatables with, the hormones they inject in animals, and all the chemicals and bugs they allow in our food. The same goes for hot dogs, bologna & so on is full of crap or the beetles that was found in Similac formula. The whole thing is crazy.Concerned American Citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271105596032720148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549573280058300486.post-90129369109846537682011-09-14T20:58:03.421-04:002011-09-14T20:58:03.421-04:00Did you know there is also arsenic all over wooden...Did you know there is also arsenic all over wooden playgrounds? They treat the wood with it. Scary thought. I don't see how there can be a "safe" level of poison in food. It's poison! It's bad enough we have a "safe level" of bugs allowed into our cereal (it took me two years to eat cereal again after learning that), but poison?
