Apple juice made from apple concentrate is not just popular in juices in America, but it is also used in place of refined sugar and used to sweeten candy, cereals and snack bars, amongst other things.
Most apple juice comes from overseas, namely China where arsenic as proven to be a problem in the popular drink. In fact, Food & Water Watch, state that more than 70% of our apple juice now comes from China.
Dr. Oz recently conducted an independent study on arsenic in popular apple juices and found that brand names such as Minute Maid, Apple & Eve, Mott's, Juicy Juice and Gerber all had traces of arsenic.
The FDA consider 10 ppb, or lower, is still safe for consumption but all of these companies, except Minute Maid, exceeded that level.
Unfortunately this is the result of an uninformed public. Food companies will always get the absolute cheapest product they can, irrespective of any health concerns, so long as the people accept it. Once people begin to demand better produce, then better produce will come but until such time, only more of this can be expected. The food industry is a major for profit business and any time profit is the primary motive, corruption is sure to follow.
Below you can watch the video from Dr. Oz about the high amounts of arsenic in apple juice and the companies response, including his thoughts on it and how organic juice is the only truly safe choice.
