Remember growing up on apple juice? I do... and of course still today, kids drink apple juice all the time. In fact, its a very common go-to. But did you know that apple juice has been found to contain arsenic?! Yes, apparently so - we are poisoning our children and don't even know it. I learned this today watching the Doctor Oz Show. I couldn't believe it. He was outraged as well. I wanted to share this important info with you and strongly recommend that you check out his website for all the info.
They did an independent lab test with a diverse assortment of samples across the U.S. and overall, Minute Maid had the lowest average arsenic levels, compared to the others tested. Guess which was the worst? Gerber. Yeah the one that is specifically marketed to children! Unbelievable.
Here is a quick tip sheet, courtesy of Doctor Oz to help you buy the right kind of apple juice:

Some of Oz's info isn't supported by scientific evidence. Best to be skeptical of his show. And look to the science for more reliable answers.
