Apple juice seems to be a common staple for kids, but have you ever looked at the label...have you ever really read where the juice comes from? Organic and non organic apple juice sold in the US often comes from other countries such as Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Argentina, Chile, Turkey, Brazil, and/or China. Have you ever wondered how long ago that apple juice was made, under what conditions, and how much of it is actually apple juice, rather than water or some form of sugar? On top of all of that, the following article points out that it also contains arsenic:
Your best bet is to get yourself a professional grade blender (Vitamix or Blendtec) and a juicer (Omega, Green Star, Jack Lalanne, Breville, or break the bank with a Norwalk). That way you can purchase the produce yourself (hopefully from local sources) and enjoy it without added water, sugar, preservatives, dyes, etc. Nothing beats a home made cup of juice or smoothie.
Cheers!
