I can't even begin to describe how much crap the tap water has. Cyanide and arsenic are in the tap water. Don't be discouraged if you thoughts led you to believes that there isn't. Remember it's in small increments but, why? Why does it have to be there in the first place? How can things like this just go by unnoticed?

The problem is it's not just in drinks, it's in food and even things that shouldn't even have arsenic.
In which foods and beverages can arsenic be detected? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which provides guidance for food processors in the U.S., has been tracking arsenic in foods and beverages for decades in its Total Diet Study. Through its toxic elements program FDA does additional surveillance on heavy metals such as lead and arsenic and will include increased sampling for products like juice and juice concentrate as needed.
Arsenic in drinking water may also compromise immune function
How does arsenic get into my drinking water?
The major sources of arsenic in drinking water are erosion of natural deposits; runoff from orchards; and runoff from glass & electronics production wastes. A federal law called the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) requires facilities in certain industries, which manufacture, process, or use significant amounts of toxic chemicals, to report annually on their releases of these chemicals.
Arsenic Occurrence Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the Earth’s crust. Most arsenic in drinking water comes from natural rock formations, especially those of volcanic origin. Arsenic is primarily a groundwater issue. There are no known surface water systems in the state that exceed the new arsenic MCL. The Puget Sound regional geology includes glacial and sedimentary deposits of volcanic material. Water that flows through these deposits tends to have greater concentrations of arsenic than other sources of water. As a result, sources in the Puget Sound region are more likely to exceed the new arsenic MCL than those in other parts of the state (Figure 1). Arsenic has also been deposited in the environment from copper smelting and pre-1950 pesticide applications. However, this arsenic binds strongly to soil and typically remains within the top few feet of the surface. There is no evidence that man-made sources of arsenic have affected drinking water sources in the state.

Because its naturally occuring, which means anything growing in the wild can absorb the stuff.
Apple Juice in the US is required by the FDA to be pasteurized, which kills almost all contaminants. Apple Juice that is not pasteurized is required to have a label stating it.
Also, as said above in some other posts, the way the test was conducted is flawed and is not representative of what actually is there.
Pasteurization is a process of heating a food, usually liquid, to a specific temperature for a definite length of time, and then cooling it immediately. This process slows microbial growth in food.

dr oz tested organic apple juices, he said the levels were fine in them on his show today
Organic foods are foods that are produced using methods that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, do not contain genetically modified organisms, and are not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives.

I wouldnt be suprised to see some amounts of Arsenic in organic apple juice.
But to be clear,.. the FDA is Only covering their buts here..
and why would we trust them,. Sodium Phosphates damage your Kidneys
and this is in many products.. But they allow that in YOUR diet.
The FDA is not interested in your health.. if they were they would shut down Monsanto.

You do know that the 25 vaccines that are being injected within children from the age of 2 and up, also compromise the immune function? Sound familiar?
It seems like weakening the immune system is now a fad.

Be warned , there are tons of false advertisements out there.
Many people put "Organic" on their produce as a lie, despite the reality that they still use many pesticides on plants or pump their livestock with hormones or what-have-you, I have seen proof that this occurs more than once.
Due to the fact we have tons of 'organic' produce being mislabeled , it becomes nearly impossible to judge what is safe or not without chemical analysis machines to test it with.
However, I would suggest that perhaps at least half of produce labeled "organic" is actually what it claims to be. There are a lot of people who cut corners though so stay vigilant.
