Dr. Oz did extensive tests on apple juice and determined that about 60% of the apple juice found in US shelves comes from China and much of it is contaminated with arsenic.
That China has terrible safety food standards does not surprise me. That good ol’ American apple juice boxes for little kids come from China does, and scares me.
As a general rule, any toy or food product that comes from China concerns me for their lax standards with lead, etc. and I try to avoid my kids from coming in contact with it. But it is hard given how extensive Chinese penetration is across all consumer goods.

A recent health study reiterates the differing health attributes of red meat and processed meat, from alternative proteins such as nuts and how grains. As the study states:
A daily 100-gram serving of unprocessed red meat may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 19%, while just 50 grams of processed red meat – for example one hot dog, a sausage, or two slices of bacon – is associated with a 51% increased risk of diabetes, according to research from the Harvard School of Public Health. The authors, led by An Pan from Harvard, added that replacing red meat with healthier proteins, such as low-fat dairy, nuts, or whole grains, can significantly lower the risk.
The researcher in this study suggests that this data be used to determine guidelines that distinguish red meat from other protiens such as nuts, that promote a healthy lifestyle.
