A public outcry over all of the dangerous chemicals that exist in everything from our beds to our Tupperware has been going on for decades. Though once a quiet but steady hum, it’s now a loud cacophony demanding attention—we want safe products now!

And while we should be able to trust the stuff we cram last night’s tuna noodle casserole in, shouldn’t we be able to trust the tuna noodle casserole itself?

Case in point: A new study was recently released about the arsenic levels in apple juice.

That’s right—the trusty drink that decays teeth, gives us just enough sweetness to satisfy a craving, and works in a pinch when our kiddos are sick has arsenic in it. And it’s not just a little bit of arsenic, either.

While the FDA mandates that drinking water can have amounts of arsenic from 10 parts per billion (ppb) or less (which, itself, is disturbing—though better than the previous amount at 50 ppb), there’s not a set limit for fruit juice. And more than 25% of companies that do sell apple juice have been selling a product with between 23 and 35 ppb of arsenic, which the FDA considers at a level “for concern.”

Yeah, the FDA doesn’t really bat an eye over a lot of really harmful things, from cancer-causing sweeteners to a huge percentage of imported food not being inspected whatsoever—so when they say something is a “level for concern,” you know it’s probably able to kill you.

And even if it isn’t, it’s still pretty scary. Even organic brands like Apple & Even have this huge amount—as do, as it’s probably no surprise, Mott’s and Wal-Mart’s Great Value apple juice.

Mother Nature Network’s Jenn Savedge reports that several other brands—including Nestle, Tree Top, Target Market Pantry, and Minute Maid—all have between 12 and 24 ppb of arsenic as well, which, though less, is still not something you’d like to put in your child’s mouth. Grape juice, my own personal favorite, turned out to have levels that were just as problematic.

Though we’re repeatedly told that arsenic simply can’t be avoided, we do know that plenty of it comes from the pesticides that orchards use as well—and that arsenic consumed over a long period of time can cause cancer, hormonal imbalances, organ damage, diabetes, and other concerns.

And though the government maintains that it’s still safe to consume apple and grape juice for the time being—because there’s “no evidence” of any damage to a person to be documented yet—avoiding apple juice altogether, or even juicing your own apples (which is very simple to do), is still worth thinking about.
