Cigarettes or Apple Juice?
after listening to my mother talk about what she "saw on Dr. Oz" about there being arsenic in apple juice I got a little bit alarmed. What was even more alarming was that one of the brand culprits was a very popular baby brand (I am not naming names, lest these people should see my adorable son and want him for their ad and then we can advocate once we have conquered the American hearts with sheer cuteness). Needless to say, I will NOT be giving my son this brand of juice...EVER AGAIN. I will be buying apples and juicing them myself (I cannot actually promise that.). I wonder if the amount of arsenic is comparable to another item we should not be giving infants?
Anyone got any more info on the topic?
I briefly heard about it, but haven't heard about it since... =0/

Thank you for reading Leila! I am excited to have a new follower. I heard that any fruit from Peru, Argentina, New Zealand or China in your fruit juices or foods has the arsenic because that is what those countries use as pesticide. I still can't believe that a company like Gerber (Motts for tots is another big offender) would cut corners on food we feed BABIES! I hope this brings their sales down enough for them to reconsider what they are putting in food for our most precious of citizens. I can't imagine saving a buck is worth hurting your entire reputation, or worse, an innocent child.
