You realize your children will probably have unprotected sex and do beer bongs from a communal hose one day, right?

If apple juice is where you draw the line I hope to GOD you don't get pocket dialed at 1am when you kid is in college. It could be the end of your perfect world.

Now this is a funny post.

You know, given the choice between apple juice and my DS preferred snack, boogers, I will take the apple juice every time.

I was raised in a home where I never ate sugar or drank soda, my mom used to brag the same way about how great my eating habits were. How healthy I was from all the "nature" food I ate (damn hippies) - as a teenager I had horrible binge eating disorder and obsession with sugar.

To this day, my eating habits are horrific. Tonight, I had sugar cereal and diet coke for dinner.

Moderation people. And for your freaks out there who strictly limit your childrens intake of food....let mine be cautionary tale.

this.

ditto here.

Is that you OP?

And your point?

Did you notice the part where the arsenic levels in apple juice did not surpass the FDA regulations of 23 PPB? In fact, none were close to this level. The report is a scare tactic. The levels of arsenic in apple juice is no where near levels that can be considered dangerous.

Also, did you notice the juice article was mostly focused on childhood obesity? A child with no weight problem can safely consume 1-2 glasses of juice a day. Although juice does have a lot of sugars, they have some nutritional value.

Personally, I know my child gets one glass of juice at school. He drinks juice at home probably every other day, and I usually water it down. But comparing it to soda for a normally healthy child? Not accurate at all.

Agreed. Fruit juices have some nutritional value -- they have some antioxidents and other phytonutrients in them -- stuff not listed on the labels. Definitely not as good as a whole, unprocessed fruit, but also not 100% crap like soda.
