If you check the labels, reject any foods that have any ingredients from China which are prepared/mixed and/or heated in vats.

Google is a wonderful tool. Feel free to use it. 2) This very article notes that the Consumer Reports study focused on inorganic arsenic. Reading comprehension. It's a wonderful tool. Try it sometime. 3) What does it matter how apple juice compares with sea food, or that arsenic is a common metal and found in natural sources? The fact that someone might be poisoned by one source doesn't mean that anything and everything goes. Given how poisonous lead and arsenic are, even at extremely low concentrations, means that every source should be scrutinized, within the bounds of cost-benefit. 4) Are you seriously implying that because some 3rd world countries suffer from ground water arsenic poisoning, that makes poisoned juice okay in comparison? I suspect you have some political agenda that has nothing to do with factual truth. Or perhaps you've simply suffered from a lifetime of lead poisoning. john:

What kind (inorganic or organic) of arsenic is it? How does this compare with air and soil natural levels? How does apple juice compare with sea food? Juice vs water amount consumed determines the body's dose. Arsenic is a common metal in the earth, soil, and water from natural sources (see Bengladesh water arsenic levels) Where is the evidence of harm in this very small level?
