A member asked:

My girlfriend is pregnant is it ok for her to drink apple juice since it has arsenic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably ok: Since inorganic arsenic crosses the placenta, there is potential for adverse developmental outcomes with high levels. Toxic concentrations of arsenic in drinking water and juices is more of a concern in the developing countries of india and bangladesh than it is in the U.S. Imported juices are banned in the U.S. There is no reference range for arsenic concentration in juices set by the fda.
