If Dr. Oz says it, it must be true. If Dr. Phil says it, you can take it to the bank. If Oprah linked you to anything, don’t question it! Seriously. Set everything aside and pledge allegiance to the greatest slice of wisdom this side of King Solomon walking the earth.
According to Dr. Oz, four of the most popular apple juices contain traces of arsenic, including the popular baby brand, Gerber. The only major juice that was found to be arsenic free would be good old Minute Maid. I wonder if Coca-Cola is a corporate sponsor of Dr. Oz’s show? Or uses the show as yet another advertising platform. They have now!
Every Nervous Nellie who swoons over Doc Oz, and hangs on his every word, has undoubtedly removed apple juice from the premises, and pulled it from the diet of their child or children. What I was curious about, and what Dr. Richard Besser–an ABC medical consultant–addressed was the type of arsenic found within the apple juice. The popular doctor failed to differentiate between organic arsenic and inorganic arsenic.
The worst thing about apple juice is the fact that it’s jacked with almost as much sugar as soda and kool-aid. Yep. There’s organic arsenic found in apple seed extract which certainly makes its way into some juices, but this is the way it has been for years…and years…and years. Drink a few hundred gallons of it, and you might very well become sick and die. As a matter of fact, you would, regardless–your body couldn’t process anything in such capacity.
Dr. Oz is going to do a follow up on apple juice on his September 21st show. Thank goodness. I know I wouldn’t dare enjoy the deliciousness of apple juice without the nod from a celebrity doctor.
In the meantime, these other drinks are also risky: Soda. Orange juice. Beer. Wine. Hard liquor. Bottled water. Tap water. Coffee. Tea.
Everything’ll kill ya–didn’t ya know?
