Apple juice definitely sounds healthy, doesn't it? It's a popular choice for many parents who serve it up as a healthy alternative to sugary drinks and sodas.
In 2006, the federal government lowers the limit for arsenic in drinking water from 50 ppb to 10 ppb. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established no such border for fruit juices, but has told companies that it views 23 ppb as a "level of concern."
Arsenic is a naturally occurring substance, and experts say it can't be completely avoided in the food and water supply. It is also found in pesticides that will apply to apple orchards. Arsenic has been linked to cancer when consumed at high dose in drinking water over a lifetime, and has been linked at lower dosages to diabetes, organ injure and hormone system changes.
