Yes very slightly. That's why we shouldn't eat more than one apple a day.
But it isn't new news. I learnt that at school!
Apple seeds have trace amounts of arsenic, and given the concentration, you'd have to eat thousands in a very small time window in order to have any noticeable effect from the arsenic, if other effects don't present themselves sooner. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that eating more than one apple a day is unhealthy because of the trace arsenic. If you honestly learned this in school, then I fear the worst.
We did. Well all the schools did. Its public knowledge.
Source?
Mr Butler...
Case in point.
Fruit seeds contain trace amounts of arsenic or other acids such as cyanide.
Yeah. Apple seeds have small quantities of arsenic. So? It's not nearly enough to do anything to you. The dose makes the poison.
Why anonymous?
And I don't believe any of it really...
Shit, I love Apple juice.. I just had a glass of it too. :p
If its dangerous, why would the FDA deny it? Not that I care as I don't drink juice anyways.
I usually do more research on it, but I try and stay away from toxic things like processed foods and white flour.
If you knew how many toxic impurities are in the air you'd stop breathing. (6)
true...but if you let the reality of all the toxic thing enter your life worry you to the point of not breathing that can be just as toxic (obviously an exaggeration, but ya know)
A lot of products in stores have trace elements and traces of bad stuff. Anything consumed in large quantities can be harmful.
That's fine, I've never heard of gerber, this must be an American thing.
I think it's a brand name owned by Nestle.
never heard of nestle either, but either way we by asda apple juice.
gerber is an American thing. its actually a HUGE baby brand of fruits, veggies, and juices. that's why everyone is going crazy over this. because everyone has all been giving their babies arsenic.
Oh, that's bad I understand now.
That is some tasttyyyyy arsenic.
Hahaha this!
It's the seeds not the juice
I will now drink to my death...
dr. oz is a moron.
