Please read/watch if you give your child ANY kind of juice

Really scary...I feel like there have been WAY too many of these types of reports recently...

Re: Please read/watch if you give your child ANY kind of juice

I'm pregnant and this really stinks, all I drink is juice. I hate water when pregnant, it makes me want to get sick, so instead of sodas and stuff I thought that buying 100% juices and watering them down would be better for me. I don't like apple so I don't keep it in the house but I drank grape juice like it was going out of style and that was named in the "apple scandal" as well and now with the orange juice!? And I just gave DS a few sips of mine last night. I NEVER give him juice, he's had a few sips here and there, I don't want him to be a juice junkie like me lol so I push the water. Ugh, why are these companies so shady for the money? I hope all the people who know about the bad stuff that they are giving us, telling us it's good for us, then mega profiting from it rot in hell because that's disgusting.

I'm 36, I've been drinking apple and orange juice my entire life and I'm still here to tell the tale.

I don't know, I don't sweat this stuff because the fact of the matter is, NO matter what you eat or drink at some point there will be some report somewhere that will tell you how bad it is for you, how dangerous it is, and why you should no longer eat/drink it. I just can't freak out about these things. And unless you're drinking gallons and gallons of juice a week it's probably not that big of a deal in the overall picture of your health. KWIM?

I just feel like every day it's something else, it's just ridiculous at this point. First the J&J shampoo/soap, then the apple juice, now OJ. It's just insane. Guess I am living on the edge because my DD still uses J&J bath soap and we all have an occasional glass of juice.

Edit - spelling
