Arsenic In Apple Juice



If your like me, you were tuned into the Dr. Oz show this afternoon and found out some really alarming news. Some of the apple juices contain higher levels of arsenic than what is allowed in drinking water. That is insane. We think we are doing something good for our children by giving them apple juice and we are poisoning our own children. This goes back to what I have said before, since they started importing a lot of our products from over seas there are too many products that are recalled or not safe for Americans to be consuming. No one seems to care, including the FDA until there is a problem. Then even after there is a problem, they do what they need to correct the problem, then I am sure it is business back to usual until another problem occurs.

When buying apple juice, look for juice that the concentrate was made in the USA, but be careful because the labels can be misleading. The container may say made in Canada. However, the container itself may have been made in Canada, but the juice itself may have been imported from China. Dr. Oz recommends buying organic apple juice, none of the organic juices he had tested came back with high levels of arsenic.

Some of the apple juices Dr. Oz had tested had higher levels of arsenic than allowed in drinking water are as follows.

Gerber- Had the highest level of arsenic.
Apple and Eve Apple Juice
Mott's
Juicy Juice
Minute Maid

Dr. Oz's lab results are listed below.
