The FDA criticized Dr. Oz in September after he stated that his testing of apple juice showed there are dangerous levels of arsenic contained in the juice. It stated that Dr. Oz was "irresponsible" and his report was "misleading". The FDA believed that Oz had tested for a combination of organic and inorganic arsenic, while only inorganic is dangerous. Dr. Oz had distinguised between organic and inorganic. Apparently the FDA has never set standards for apple juice, whereas other drinks such as water have limits of inorganic arsenic at 23 ppm. Dr. Oz found higher concentrations of inorganic arsenic in apple juice.
What levels are truly dangerous? Also although 22 ppm is considered safe, how about if you drink much more than the average person? How about if you drink a variety of different drinks and canned foods containing arsenic? These are some very good questions to consider while being concerned about so many other dangers that we face in our lives.
My lesson is to do as much as i possibly can to reduce the toxins in my life, but understand that I can't eliminate them all. From the air we breathe to the carpeting we walk on to the funiture we sit on, to the clothes we wear and the food we eat, we can try to be perfect, but we just can't eliminate every possible toxin out there. It is sad, but there are things out of our control. The more we do, the healthier we will be and the greater chance of maintaining our health.
