Much better dress today, Megyn.

“I’m defending the constitution, he can say what he wants, I’m drinking apple juice!” Eiglarsh sneered.
“LET HIM DIE!”

In true science, one must be able to duplicate the claims of another scientist (using the same conditions) if their to be taken as factual.  Dr Oz is not meeting this standard if others repeat his tests and don’t get high results.  On the other hand, how much arsenic is considered safe?  I understand, some trace ammounts occur in the soil and (I think) the seed naturally.

Get rid of the FDA.

He is obviously drinking piss.

Obviously somebody spiked Oz’s juice…

I think one would have to be out of their mind to eat ANY food imported from China. They probably put arsenic in their apple juice just because they can. Thanks to Johnny Appleseed and our hard cider alcoholic forefathers, there are more than enough orchards in the USA to have safe, fresh, pressed apple juice. 

I notice that this is a wildly popular thread today, James. Megyn looks outstanding, but otherwise, you wonder why they don’t do mandatory drug testing of talking heads.

Dr Oz has become so self-important, he is becoming a joke.  The study Oz cites has not been duplicated by any other lab.

We need to get Jenny McCarthy to determine who is right.

You seem to talk from experience.

You seem to talk from experience.

If they did that, MSNBC would go off the air.

You could be right. I wasn’t talking about Megyn, I meant the red bull guy.

Pretty much everyone agrees that Dr. Oz has done a good job on his research (except companies that produce apple juice).  He’s not even being a radical about it (saying his kids drink apple juice).  Why so much outrage?  Are you scared that big government is going to take your apple juice away?  Grow up ditto heads.

Is it appropriate to make a cheap joke in a televised discussion on critical consumer health and safety issues?

Probably not, but this isn’t one of those discussions. This is just silly.

I understand, some trace amounts occur in the soil and (I think) the seed naturally.

Yup, it’s naturally occurring, and what Oz is finding is trace amounts that pose no health risk.

Fact: If it’s to strong straight add some vodka to tone it down.

First thing to remember here is this is a toxic poison, now you have to
ask your self why the arsenic levels are higher now than they were
previously?????? because until recently in the past they removed the
core area of the apple to KEEP THE ARSENIC FROM THE SEEDS OUT OF THE
JUICE but that didn’t make the new way of maximizing profits and
reducing costs work for the greedy SOB conservative corporate types so
they just started GRINDING up the entire apple, seeds and all, because
it reduced the waste and steps required to express the juice from the
apples for creating the concentrate from which they produce the juice.
So they THE CORPORATIONS sacrificed human health and common sense
science FOR MONEY.  Dr. OZ was right to alert the public to this
dangerous practice by CORPORATIONS who are poisoning the AMERICAN PEOPLE
and most especially CHILDREN and BABIES WHO DRINK MORE OF THE JUICE
than adults. REGULATIONS WOULD PUT AN END TO THIS PRACTICE BUT
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS WILL NOT PUT SAFETY AND HEALTH BEFORE PROFITS.

It is a toxin that accumulates and it is not TRACE AMOUNTS, and arsenic is always a health risk in any amount.

The body retains AND concentrates arsenic.

Or have you forgotten that when BUSH proposed doubling the allowable amount of arsenic in water, it was suggested that this amount be added to the water provided to the White House and all Congressional facilities at the levels he was promoting as safe CONSERVATIVES tried to have the person suggesting it prosecuted for threatening the life of the president and federal officials?

So if you want arsenic you can have it, but children and babies and those with compromised health issues should not be sacrificed at the alter of conservatives corporate greed addiction.

Traditional apple presses do not crush the seeds thus the nominal amounts are greatly reduced.

BTW: For any of you conservatives that want to find out if the arsenic in seeds can harm you???? Chew up a 1/4 cup of seeds all at once in one sitting and I promise to attend your funeral. if you are in the 8 out of 10 who will die immediately, and the other still living 20% will require an expensive extended hospital stay and face commitment to a mental health facility for attempted suicide.

Why use fermented potato juice, just ferment the apple cider

It works for alcoholic moose, it will work for you..

Hey Valerie….I bet you’re just itching to get into that dress, go ahead…admit.  It’s OK to be a little “strange”.  You might get a spot on DWTS.

You mean Big Ed?  Wrong channel.

Mental Health facility?  How long have you been out?

It is hard to believe that a grown adult could make comments this stupid.  Do us all a favor and eat a large helping  of apple seed tonight.  Thanks.

How many people are dying or becoming seriously ill due to naturally occurring arsenic, Thomas? How many people are being sacrificed on the Arsenic Altar?

None, right?

An apple a day, Thomas.

I’ll eat a 1/4 cup of apple seeds if you’ll drink 20 gallons of water, Thomas.

WOW another conservative contributes….. What?

To quote my Aunt Rosemary in New York “Ya aint got nothing”

I’ll avoid water intoxication thank you, I am not suicidal.

Do you miss me and since I am bothering to respond; who made you eat the Cheerios FAUX peed in?

Oh that will fix the problem.

There’s nothing child-like about what he said, you sound a bit slow, I’m sorry :-/

Future Schizophrenic patient.

Your kidding right????? the western states have a real problem with arsenic in water, but you didnt know that did you, its one of the reasons bottled water and water purification system sales are so high there AND hundreds of towns and cities and counties in the west are seeking Federal assistance in filtering the arsenic from their water distribution systems.

go ahead make fun of a serious problem affecting thousands of people in the western states.

He’s right, here in Arizona we have a lot of issues with not only arsenic but other toxic metals in our drinking water. Most people won’t drink the tap water, including me, but that’s just because it tastes like ass.

Also, Dr. Oz’s findings are pretty consistent with other recent studies:

http://www.comingalongside.org/Apple_Juice.html

http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/sciencepublications/ajessp/2009/688-694.pdf

That was a death threat. MODERATORS!!!!!

Here are two recent studies that have found similar results:

http://www.tampabay.com/news/health/article1079395.ece

Please don’t bother doing any research or anything. 

I think it has more to do with Dr. Oz’s socialist associations with Obama. You know, through Oprah? Crap, I need a chalkboard to map this out. Where’s that wackjob Glenn Beck when you need him?

Another death threat. MODS!!!!!

notsofast get a job.

well the state of washington just got effen SCREWED~~~

pABLO, THEY WHINED AND WHINED AND NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION – they wailed and moaned dey gots da bad water and no one will drink it – but neither cited a single case of arsenic poisoning from any tapwater in their terrible region…
Since none of them drink it and none of them are sick – no problem – another economy destroying libtard pollution nightmare of earth destroying proportions –
 no wonder the libtard hate corproations – they are paranoid hypochondriacs and so the second some fear mongering freak show study comes along that taxpayers were forced to pump millions into at one of their left wing fruitcake colleges in any of the 50  states- they start panicking and spending 100′s of dollars to “protect themselves frm the evil corporations and lax government”…
—
Seems to me we should just watch and LAUGH – and if they drain OUR place of essentials like their banning of DDT in Africa after we in the USA got our super massive near cure cutdown from malayria… why then we can just CUT THESE FUCKIN FRUITLOOPS OFF at the fed funding level and deny every god damned study they beg grant money for…
—
Libs- the smartest ? NO – the most played, costly, and causing the most problems ? Y E S

No, the paranoid hypochondriac libtards will still shriek everything kills you, but at least they’ll have to prove it on their own fucking dime.

No, the paranoid hypochondriac libtards will still shriek everything kills you, but at least they’ll have to prove it on their own fucking dime.

That was great- no fear mongering, no god damned pansy left wing the earth is dying everything kills you fucking fruit loop isms.

Thank you once again FoxNews for bitch slapping the hyperventiliating faggot activist whiners we have in the USA.
PS- the poor brainwashed fairies with the poor constitution where freaking apple juice kills them will have to spend their food stamps on some other WIC item…
LMAO !
fuckin apple juice is taking down the libtards !
HAHHAHAHHAHA

I’m hoping this revelation moves Harry and Pelosi to mandate arsenic warnings on McDonald’s apple juice sippy cups to reduce the death toll from happy meals. Also the toys need to be outlawed, they are a temptation toward McDeath.

Oh FUCK.
did you read his comingalongside link below ?
a person has to suck down more than the 100% bloating FDA RDA of liquids which is a crapload of fluid in one day – and it ALL has to be 100% apple juice – for a person to “exceed the recommended daily limit”.
-
Fucksticks man.

Good GAWD – no wonder you libs are always sick:
” umm het do some research before you comment. the seeds of these fruits
acually very good for the body. in fact in 3rd world country known as
Huza a mans wealth is known for the number of apricot seeds he has and
just to let you know not one of these people have ever had cancer not
one. They eat well over 40 seeds just for a snack after lunch. also they
did a study with 2000 people who ate the seeds and consumed vitamin
b-17 and the odds of getting cancer are 1 in 4 as you may or may not
know and not one of these 2000 people had cancer because of eating the
seeds! acually aspirin in 20 times more toxic than what is inside that
seed. to much of anything is not good for you. But some scientist
recomend 7 apricot seeds per day to prevent cancer and anyone who has
done this has never had cancer interesting eh?”

LMAO – the very thing that prevents cancer is the thing the libs shriek will kill you from cyanide poisoning… of course that info came from another one of their government funded studies and some fruitcake quack at some university out to “save humanity”.

In the end, listening to anything these fruit and nut libtards spew WILL KILL YOU.

hmm- and telling the conservatives to chew up a deadly cup o lib danger apple seeds wasn’t ?
 He was like ready to seedboard the conservative while screaming I wish you were Cheney.

Oz probably has another couple hundred million in obamastash cash slipped up his backside in a circular campaign lib pig trough so he’ll be in prison after 2012 – or hell if you libtards apocalypse mayan now tinfoil hattery takes hold and obumbler sets of ww3 full nuke warfare

Umm- critical is the critically lacking sense in any libtards head, so of course they addressed the exact problem 100% appropriately.
 No more free studies grants obamastash for dr strange OZ.

The libtard threatened everyone’s health by bringing up his criminal terrorist how to murder information on the board.
 Maybe you libs shouldn’t be dreaming of murdering people then inviting others to “do it” like yer lib bud did – then whining when the exact same words are passed back to your terrorism murderous info boys way.
 After you libs screamed no one can offer plans on  a nuclear bomb, you should have stopped offering other methods of death with your cultish obsession.
 Thanks – perma threat-
sheesh

PS- It doesn’t matter anyway because every little thing kills a poor victimized lib nowadays.

dude, mr thomas G williams – the lib corporations own you with their fucking JUNK SCIENCE and you have fallen for it !
GET A FUCKING EDUCATION YOU HEALTH DESTROYER.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q51waJJ5D9c&feature=youtube_gdata

Thank you FoxNews for not falling for the libtard drama’s that claim everything kills you as they destroy all our health, cause us to contract cancer, and destroy our children’s health, too !

The FEAR and IDIOCY the lefties spread is amazing – get the real science you idiot libs!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q51waJJ5D9c&feature=youtube_gdata

Well Bobby, perhaps you could take me to the prom.

2 degrees+ training as a nuclear engineer + business owner + navy vet = a more qualified than YOU individual.

Seems you just don’t like well informed and educated people who dont fall into the conservative JOE 6 PACK pork rind eating FAUX watching conservative mold.

Anyone as hate filled as you fits the definition of an enemies domestic and it is a fact that for more than 30 plus years every terrorist act in my state has been committed by a white conservative christian, from a white man beating a colored army veteran woman in a Cracker Barrels lobby -to bombing the Olympics to shooting police to bombing fire fighters and emergency responders to bombing womens health clinics to bombing bars to a sniper shooting magazine owners etc.etc.etc. not to mention the highest number of bank failures owned by criminal white collar whites to having the most corrupt member of congress elected as Governor to having the entire state under total conservative control for more than ten years…..

Yes I am a permanent threat to conservatives and I am a patriot, the real kind of patriot a loyal constitutional supporting American who does not engage the treasonous actions or speech of conservatives.

Bet you think letting poor people vote is a crime.

You seriously need to seek competent mental health treatment, you truly are delusional.

Apple seeds are not Apricot seeds and it is arsenic not cyanide nor is there cyanide in Apricot seeds and BTW aspirin is made from three natural components which is the only truly effective treatment for influenza.

Besides those Apricot seeds did not save Steve McQueen did they?

You really need to read more carefully and in context, are you capable of that CONSERVATARD?

Besides I dont have to wish Cheney any ill, he chose to ruin his own health.

How long were you in jail? did you drop out of school in the 6th or the 5th grade? Did you eat the paint chips instead of throwing them away? did you have a habit of chewing on mercury filled thermometers instead of tooth picks.

Get some help man and come back when they stamp your hospital release forms NOT INSANE.

pABLO, THEY WHINED AND WHINED AND NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION – they
wailed and moaned dey gots da bad water and no one will drink it – but
neither cited a single case of arsenic poisoning from any tapwater in
their terrible region…

Of course they didn’t. But Thomas did manage to point out that people are looking for money to solve the “problem” so it must be for reals…not.

I’ve lived in places where the tap water tastes like ass. Filtration is a wonderful thing.

Wrong. Apricot pits and apple seeds both contain amygdalin, which is a cyanide compound.

The weird thing that everyone seems to be missing is that apple seeds are known for high levels of CYANIDE not arsenic, so crushing the seeds doesn’t mean a thing here. It’s probably from-concentrate juice bottled with a bad batch of water or something.

I, for one, am not a lefty and also watch Fox News (meaning i am not a left-wing liberal). But i don’t think you have to be a libtard to not want to drink elevated levels of Arsenic and exposing yourself to health risks down the road. It’s not about fear and definitely not about idiocy. It’s about being smart and understanding what’s going into your body. ‘Real science” itself says arsenic is poisonous. Usually people on here question the government but what’s with the blindly siding with the government now?

The EPA has become a propaganda tool for the American Hating, Communist democrat party. ” Safe” levels of ANY substance as set by the EPA CANNOT be taken at face value since the EPA is now only a political tool of the Radical Left Marxists who want to destroy Capitalism.

The hype is ridiculous.  Test the stuff, if the concentration is too high, change practices.  If it isn’t, either get a grip or don’t drink it.

There are so many problems in our nation and on the planet, this isn’t critical and easily fixable.  Starting with, stop ingesting things from China, which I never do if I can help it.

This reminds me of the Alar BS from the 80s.

The “arsenic” is in a large MOLECULE and is therefore not poisonous.

You’re an idiot and my IQ is top 1% and MENSA.
Of course that for this topic DOES NOT MATTER.
That’s why, you’re an IDIOT.

Your humorless, scolding, disapproving tone makes this read like an item from Jezebel.

The are getting pretty hard up for NEWS when the pick subjects like this. My mother used to say; if you are picking on me your are letting everyone else alone.I guess there good in almost everything.

Hmm, interesting. Turns out Dr. Oz was right.
