Toxic Apple Juice here in America

Precisly why I only let my kids drink Mountain Dew

Dr Oz is a quack. All processed foods are mostly crap. Obviously, the mainstream more mass produced ones are worse. If you want healthier go for natural/organic products. Just try to stick to fresh food from nature and you're set. Apple juice is super easy to make and when you make it, you know what is in it. Simple as that.

You guys probably aren't aware of this because the Corn syrup has already eaten your brain with its corn syrup parasites, but mountain dew and volt are loaded with corn syrup. What you really should be drinking is Straight black coffee.

Giving your kids straight black coffee is the safest most nutritional all natural liquid they can drink as the caffeine stimulates brain activity and metabolisms. The hype about it stunting your growth is a dumb wives tale Err Old wife one or the other.

Frankly, I DO NOT hold Dr. Oz in any esteem! I have heard him say to many DUMB things, and at BEST UN-KNOWLEDGEABLE about some things. Just because someone is a doctor does NOT mean that they know it all OUTSIDE of their specialty! He gets "briefed" on these topics and if something makes a good show, he rolls with it!

Pick a subject. Any subject. Then google it. You'll find people on both sides of the fence ready to sing the praises or shout the warnings.

Not enough water / Too much water
No carbs / good carbs
Meat is bad for you / Gotta have protien.
How come we don't / How come we do

Take it with a grain of salt. Oh wait...salt is bad for you.

Whatever

Dr. Oz... doesn't he come on after Springer?

I don't have kids.. but if I did I would give them straight everclear. The alcohol will kill any pathogens without the use of those horrible pesticides.

I never let my daughter drink juice. Mostly empty calories and it's really expensive.

^^This^^

Milk and water for my kiddo... I think she got a little watered down apple cider during the holidays last year.

That said... it sounds like more fear mongering to me.

Totally not true, my boyfriend got an email from a coworker who had a cousin who read a news article from their brother about a missing dog and that dog belonged to somebody whose mother in law had a neighbor who totally died from a combination of arsenic in apple juice and a tomahawk to the head.

BUT - NOT DD coffee... I was just told by my SIL that they coat their beans in lard... to make them shiny. Def. go for Starshmucks. Their coffee has LOTS of caffeine in it.

Amen.

Want proof that arsenic is in your apple juice? Look really closely at the palm of your hand. Really close. Right under the that line that's shaped like a 7. Do you see it? Someone wrote GULLIBLE right there. Proof.

yep and Jerry Springer really helps people get their relationships back on track!! Just like Dr. Phil can fix any problem and Maury's lie detector machine is ALL KNOWING.

LOL, love it!!

Makes me want to go out & buy my own seeds
and plant a garden so I KNOW EXACTLY what goes
into my food.
While i'm at it i'd better start saving money for
the cattle ranch, pig farm & chicken coop.

I feel the same way... I even asked someone about raising chickens... sounds a little complicated/messy. I know you can "buy a cow". And have it slaughtered and then you put it all in your freezer. I have wondered if that wouldn't be a bad way to go.

I have chickens. They aren't complicated or too messy as long as you have enough room for them and practice good husbandry.

I cannot drink the natural juice undiluted, home made or not, I just can't. The taste is too strong, too concentrated, so I use 1/3 juice then for the rest of the glass I pour water. This is how I drink my orange juice.

If you got a yard, keep some chickens there. Feed them grass and left over from your meals. Let them free in the yard, and in the night get them a little wood cottage/shelter. They know how to go to sleep alone, you only have to shut the door after them, and open in the morning. From time to time a cleaning in their cottage. Also from time to time vitamins, and if they are sick call the vet.

They will lay fresh eggs everyday. This is how we made in Romania, is so levelly to see them in the yard, and the rooster wakes you every morning with his chant. :-)

Another benefit is that you don;t have to throw so many left overs, chickens got a high appetite for almost everything. Of course they enjoy grains ( organic ones ) and green grass, fruits but they are very happy with left overs too.

what do the chickens chant in Romania? Cause in the USA they Chant stuff like "Hell No We Wont Go" Wait you you said the roosters chant. not chickens

The city I live in has an ordinance against keeping any kind of livestock or barn animal. No chickens, goats, pigs, cows, or etc in the city limits. Not in your yard or in your house. A woman recently got "caught" with a pet pot belly pig in her apartment. They confiscated the pig and gave her a huge fine. So keeping chickens isn't reasonable for everyone.
