We knew this years ago, but most of us probably thought
something was being done about it.

> Some popular fruit juices may contain heavy metals, according
to a new report out Wednesday morning. Consumer Reports tested
45 packaged fruit juices for heavy metals, like lead, arsenic,
and cadmium and found measurable levels in every product.
Long-term exposure to these metals could cause some serious
health risks, like kidney disease and certain types of cancer.
>
> Heavy metals are substances that make their way into food
because they occur naturally in the air, water and soil. They
can also wind up in food during the manufacturing and packaging
processes, reports CBS News' Anna Werner.
>
> While improvements have been made since Consumer Reports last
tested juice products eight years ago, they now recommend
parents give their children less juice.
>
> Consumer Reports' chief scientific officer James Dickerson and
his team tested 45 different juices for four heavy metal
substances: inorganic arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury. They
found that every single product contained a measurable amount of
at least one heavy metal, except for mercury.
>
> Twenty-one of the samples contained one or a combination of
heavy metals that reached a level Consumer Reports researchers
deemed concerning for daily consumption. They said the metals
found in seven of the 21 samples had the potential to harm
children who drink only a half cup per day.
>
> According to the CDC, long-term exposure to heavy metals may
put people at risk for kidney disease, diabetes, high blood
pressure, damaged ability to learn and certain types of cancer.
>
> Consumer Reports is recommending parents lower the amount of
juice they give their kids.
>
> "So they should be concerned but don't panic … frequent
exposure to these heavy metals through the juice is the
concern," James Dickerson said.
>
> The Juice Products Association, whose board of directors
includes executives from PepsiCo, Welch's and other juice brands
whose products were tested, said they haven't seen the full
study but called the results "unfounded" and told CBS News they
are committed to providing "safe" and "nutritious" products that
meet FDA standards.
>
> They also said that there is "no scientific evidence"
indicating that trace levels of heavy metals have caused any
negative health outcomes.
>
> But Dr. Leo Trasande, director of environmental pediatrics at
New York University School of Medicine, said, "The science is
telling us increasingly that there are particular time points in
life when even a small amount of exposure for example can
disrupt hormones and thereby contribute to disease."
>
> He recommends parents swap the juices for something else.
>
> "My suggestion is they simply eat an apple, preferably
organic, and drink water as a substitute for these juices,"
Trasande said.
>
> In 2013, the FDA proposed limiting inorganic arsenic in apple
juice but no change was ever made. The FDA had no comment.
>
> Consumer Reports said their findings are a "spot check" and
"should not be used to draw definitive conclusions about
specific brands."

Yeah, where is that list? I believe the FDA has been corrupted
by infiltration and bribery.

it has been both the senate of the last 2 years and trump have
removed the basic safety net on inspections where edibles are
from and how they are processed. And the clown wants to remove
more ANyone eating fruit or vegetables that didn't grow
themselves over the last month and a half has been playing
russian roulette because there have been numerous warnings of no
inspections at all of produce that already has been half assed
looked at
