Eee Gads, I buy a big container of this every week, prefer it to OJ because it isn't so sweet. DP announced that Diane Sawyer was on national news outside Ocean Spray due to the arsenic posioning and reporting how many people have become sick from it.

I didn't see the news release myself, but thought you'd be interested in case you didn't see the news, especially since we don't need another "arsnic" ... already have our gluten rat poisin. :ph34r:

Is it only a certain batch or flavor or the sparkling? I have 4 different flavors at home plus the sparkling.

Subject to earlier news:

The subject of the article was naturally occurring arsenic in apple juice. Some brands tested higher than others. (I don't have the primary data). It was suggested that children under the age of seven, have the apple juice watered down. But, the alarm bell was not ringing.

It's a fluid story so let's wait for the facts. I have a two year old grand daughter who's drink of choice is toddlers apple juice. I can assure you, I will stay on top of this. :D

I was not aware of the story of Ocean Spray Sparkling . Humph, just bought it for the girls this weekend.It was consumed. Wonder if Vodka dilutes the arsenic.? :huh:

If your great-grandma didn't serve it to HER childern why would you serve to yours?!? Too easy peasy to make your own. You won't feed your kid gluten but you would pour sugar down their throats? If you made your own juice you might know what goes into it.....

I don't know about for everyone else, but in our case my children get maybe half a cup a day of juice and the rest of what they drink is water. And it may not be difficult to make juice, but with taking care of 2 young children who I am homeschooling it is too time consuming considering that we have to make almost all our food from scratch also. So in our case, it would come down to having time to make them juice or something else like schooling suffering. Sometimes things just have to be bought when you have young children.

I do make my own juice, and while it is easy, it is very time consuming. It's not for everyone.

You've got your facts all wrong. Ocean Spray wasn't even one of the brands named in the study and nobody has been arsenic poisoned. The low levels of arsenic were in apple and grape juice. Most of the apple juice concentrate comes from China, so it's partly another big Chinese food safety issue. (surprise, surprise) There is also natural arsenic in the groundwater and soil in some parts of the US that gets into trees.

Ocean Spray has a big voluntary recall of craisins because of the possibility of metal shavings in them. Perhaps you got the two mixed up.

Thank you for the info Skylark, I wasn't able to find anything about the Ocean Spray thing when I tried searching online.

I have a friend with a 22-month old who is working hard to find apple juice for her son that only uses US apples because of this article. She's buying Tree Top brand. That's how I happened to know about it.

Hmmm I wonder if Simply Apple would be made with US apples, I know the apples are the only ingredient.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
