Just when I thought Fruit Juice was “safe”

posted in Frenzied Daddy |

Hey if I’m going to buy fruit juice for the girls for summer drinks, I just need to avoid high fructose corn syrup, right? Wrong! I need to print out that list, because an astonishing 125 out of 146 tested fruit products (juice and snacks) had lead in them!

Living in an older house, I worry about lead. And now to learn that 85% of those kids’ drinks and snacks had lead in them — just terrific. Everything from BeechNut to TreeTop and even Trader Joes had lead in it.

I’m going to have to buy a juicer. How do you make cran-grape out of cranberries and grapes? That’s a lot of juicing.

    Not sure you need too high a cran:grape ratio, so it might not be soooo much juicing.

    Nevertheless it’s BOUND to taste fresher and better than anything from the store.
