Toxic Juice?
Consumer Reports recently tested 88 juice samples- mostly apple- of popular brands and found that 10 percent of the samples contained high levels of arsenic, and one-quarter contained high levels of lead.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is collecting additional data, and has said it will consider setting a standard for how much arsenic should be permitted in apple juice.
Doctors and pediatricians warn against drinking too much juice, as it is high in sugar and has been linked to obesity, gout, gastrointestinal problems and other health concerns.
