Concern Over Chemicals in Apple Juice
 A study by the Empire State Consumer Project, a partner to the Food and Water Watch Organization, has shown an alarming high level of arsenic and heavy metals in apple juice, especially apple juice imported from China. The tests commissioned by the project revealed levels of arsenic contamination in one sample that was five times higher than what the Environmental Protection Agency allows in drinking water.
The Food and Drug Administration does not have standards for arsenic levels in juices. Consumer groups have called on the FDA to hold fruit juices to the same standards as drinking water and to more closely monitor imports from countries like China that have had serious safety issues.

"I’ve been hooked on Syfos for years. It’s SO much better than other seltzers or expensive sparkling waters. We get it at our local Publix in Florida. When we first started buying it many years ago, they kept running out. We asked them if they could increase their stock, and they did! So if you don’t see it in your local store, just ask."
