That would be Chinese apple juice concentrate. I wish that the article had mentioned that virtually all of the apple juice concentrate is produced by slaves in China, and that virtually all juices sold in the US are 50% Chinese AJC.

No surprise. But another mountain for Obama administration to climb. Year ago a bunch of (here in Austin) received an action email to help the FDA with more regulators. Kay Bailey wrote me back (standard letter).
She believed we had too many regulators......this was three or four months before the dog food poison.

Bottom line, do your homework on what you buy and eat.

We are an organic milk and water family. There is an over-priced juicer behind me which provides for healthy juicing or organically grown fruits and vegetables. Understand, it is impossible to rid our lives of so many "natural" poisons in the atmosphere, but where we can ... we proactively do in our attempt to live a healthy life. (Longevity is my family's mantra ... average age at death is 99 ... plan to not live a long and suffering life.)

Your organic milk is killing you. I'm betting it's been pastuerized and homogenized. Both processes RUIN the milk and create all manner of dangerous compounds which your body cannot handle. Run from processed dairy!!! http://www.notmilk.com

Yes your apple juice has arsenic. It has seeds, doesn't it? They contain the arsenic and it will not hurt you. The seeds contain vitamin B-17 also and cure cancer. Remember laetraile (sp)? Remember all the excitement about it? Well, yes it did work, contrary to the lies and supression of the evidence. Look it up.

My grandmother lived to 103 even if I emulated her dietary habits today I would be blessed to reach 70. She was born in the latter years of the 1800's last child of 13 in her 50's. Pre-chemical era and a vegan. Between canned goods which I don't trust and ingested and airborne contaminants we are doomed. Everything was organic before they came up with the bright idea to preserve our fruits and vegetables with chemicals.

Anybody buying pre-packaged processed "juices" (or anything else packaged for that matter) is getting a chemical + sugar fix . If you want a fruit juice go buy a bunch of fruit and squeeze it in order to obtain it's juice .

Otherwise anything made in a factory that goes through a double digit number of processes ,get's fructose added to it and then gets bottled in an oil based container has nothing to do with a fruit juice whatsoever .

People who dont wake up to the fact that they are on a chemical trip from birth till death just by living
in a modern society rarely make it to 70 and even if they do they are crippled in some way or other by that age (but they sure do put a permanent smile on the medical/drug industry )

Much of the apple juice in the U.S. is imported from China, and is seriously hurting domestic apple growers. Apple juice is used as a "base" in many different flavored juices, not just the product called apple juice.

There MIGHT be arsenic in your apple juice, but it is almost a CERTAINTY
that there is Sodium Fluoride in you drinking water. Don't think that's a problem?

I know that the John Birch Society thinks it's a problem. But what are they smoking? Hopefully not cigarettes because tobacco contains cadmium. And who put it there? Mother nature.

desertdweller,
I am not sure what your point is but if you read the article
at the link you would know that Sodium Fluoride is ADDED to our
water supply. I have an idea. Call your town's or, better yet, visit your
local water board and ask them what they are adding to the water and
get back to us with any info, OK? By the way, do you know the name of
your avatar and who created the character? Just wondering...

All The Best,
Quinny
