As parents, we are always concerned with the health and well-being of our children. We are careful to make sure we know the kids they hang out with, the places they visit, and certainly the foods that they eat. In recent months, T.V. personality, Dr. Mehmet Oz, told the nation about the presence of arsenic in common brands of children's apple juice. Dr. Oz reported that after independently testing three dozen varieties of apple juice, it was found that 10 brands had total arsenic levels exceeding 10 parts per billion (ppb). Although there are no federal regulations for juice or most foods, the limit for public and bottled water is 10 ppb. After reporting this, Dr. Oz was attacked on all fronts from the mass media to former colleagues and peers for even suggesting that we may be, potentially and unknowingly, poisoning our children. However, new information may just prove this point. Read the following article to find out more for yourself.
