Are you feeding your kids arsenic? A shocking source of concern...


If your children drink a lot of juice - that could be a problem...
A recent analysis of grape juice and apple juice found that 10% of the samples contained levels of arsenic that exceeded federal standards. A common source of arsenic is pesticides. Although these poisons have been banned, traces of them can remain in the soil that those fruits are grown in. 

While the arsenic levels in the test samples of juice were low, it’s important to remember that young children have small bodies and lower tolerance to pollutants. Parents should consider limiting the amount of fruit juice they drink or water it down.
