This is the first I've heard of this:

"So now in America, we have a food and drug regulatory agency that says it's okay to eat arsenic, but dangerous to drink elderberry juice or raw milk."

What in the world is this country coming to?

    Not a good thing for sure. Arsenic is found in the air we breath and the water we drink. It's a matter of context and dosage.

    I believe I read somewhere, that there are 2 types of arsenic, the bad kind and the normal kind found everywhere that isn't really absorbed in the body. I read about this when I was looking at Apple Juice.
