The apple juice drama




Blog EntrySep 15, '11 6:26 PM
for everyone
I could not believe the response to Dr. Oz's opinion about  the safety of apple juice.  I completely understood what he was saying. evidently the majority of reporters and  mothers that are so upset did not understand anything he said. He was trying to get people to understand that China a major importer of apple juice concentrate to our country DOES use the non organic arsenic in  their pesticide sprays. If I remember right, back in 1958 in chemistry class we were taught that arsenic intake was accumulative and over time could cause death.Women back in the day used it as makeup and ended up in big trouble.
So if parents are that easily frightened about apple juice, maybe they should look up  hormones in dairy and meat in this country. Then check out how tomatoes are kept in open silos to make ketchup. or pickles.  Another  fact is that most of our cucumbers for  pickles come from China. another source of possible arsenic contamination. Maybe the  media should start doing what DR Oz did and actually check it out instead of relying on the FDA, because  I would not trust the FDA to tell me the time of day.
