For some reason "arsenic" gets attention but pesticides/herbicides are poisons and yes especially worrisome for children. I don't know, I sometimes think the more you know the more concerning and any more biochem I would probably be scared to eat.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713676282787688389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-68654930404515904432011-12-16T22:22:22.667-08:002011-12-16T22:22:22.667-08:00There is arsenic in juice, and also chicken, and r...There is arsenic in juice, and also chicken, and rice, and cotton, and... so that's a little here, and there, and there too. In a child's body, it all adds up and who knows what are - or will be - the consequences.... Very scary. <br />I also question the relevance of distinguishing organic versus inorganic arsenic. If it's like mercury, whatever amount left in the human body is converted from organic (methylmercury) to inorganic after a few months. I wish I had taken more biochemical classes.NatalieInCAhttp://twitter.com/#!/NatalieInCAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-59499950234221673362011-12-16T16:45:44.264-08:002011-12-16T16:45:44.264-08:00I'm not a big fan of apple juice and to be hon...I'm not a big fan of apple juice and to be honest not too trust worthy of the FDA until they can at least separate the food and the drug and truly regulate.

Here are a couple of questions (not sure if covered in the reports): Are the arsenic and lead coming from the apples themselves, or from any water that may be added to the juice? Also, were organic juices also tested, and if so, did they have any ansenic and/or lead too? Thanks! P.S. Love walnut butter too!EA-The Spicy RDhttp://www.eastewart.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-88074545345681872512011-12-16T06:13:29.534-08:002011-12-16T06:13:29.534-08:00Where do you buy this walnut butter?

I am no longer surprised to find out that mass-produced food-things are bad for us or that they are harboring toxic chemicals.
