Arsenic in apple juice? Dr. Oz and FDA square off

This is why I hate all these advice shows like Dr Phil or Dr Oz.

I prefer to hate humanity for being gullible enough to believe all those shows without checking information for themselves.

I've known since I was young that apple seeds contain arsenic, and not to eat them. Something like 1 cup will do you harm. If, of course, you are dumb enough to eat a cup full of apple seeds.

Sensational TV hosts are what I hate.

Eating about 5 kg of rhubarb leaves will kill you too.

Eat 5kg of cabbage and about an hour later everyone around you will want to kill you!

Apple seeds contain cyanide (-CN radical, quite common) not arsenic (the As element)

Apple seeds contain cyanide, not arsenic. Which is actually worse.

I remember when I was younger being told to NEVER eat rhubarb leaves as they will kill you. Only later in life did I look it up and saw how much you needed to eat before you died. In reality though, everything will kill you if you consume enough of it, even water.

And here I thought it was the cat piss on it that would kill you.

It wasn't the presence of arsenic or cyanide that we were ever concerned about. It was the load of rock salt old man Bodkey would shoot if he caught us.

old wives tales are funny. I remember the one about not swimming until an hour after eating or you'll drown. That excuse never worked during the times I had to pluck Oscar out of the salt chuck

You would drown? We'd only puke...

Only time i puked is if i swallowed too much seawater. Bled from my eyes, nose and ears a couple times on a diving course though.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Cuz doctors don't deal with dead people. Coroners do.

What a load of shit, I must've ate half the apple output of the Okanogan myself. Bake a pie with Macintoshes, I'll do it again.
The kids drank so much damn apple juice we can't stomach it around the house anymore. Just the smell of apple juice reminds us of pissy diapers.
