Arsenic anyone?

They have found very high levels of arsenic in the normal juice we drink eveyday the same kind we give our children. The levels in some apple and grape juices is much higher than the standard set for drinking water, (which is 10 parts per billion) it exceeds this amount by more than 10%. Study's have shown that higher levels of arsenic in a persons body can make them more at risk for cancer and other chronic disieses. The study done by Dr. Mehmet Oz is based on organic and inorganic arsenic meaning they didn't take in to account that maybe the organic arsenic may not have bad effects on humans. It however did show bad results in chickens when they ate the feed that had organic arsenic in it.
I don't know about anyone else but I have been drinking the same juice for years and I have been doing a lot of things that they say may one day give me cancer or take away my body's ability to fight a chronic desies. I am not going to stop drinking juice just to take away some minute chance that in a decade I might get cancer. Who is to say if I did that I still wouldn't get cancer? There are too many health benfits to drinking the juice than for not drinking the juice. I will not stop doing something every time someone tells me its bad. Before you know it you won't be able to eat anything at all if we listened to these tests.
