    Heavy metals were found in nearly every major fruit juice brand tested in the US. Nearly half of the juices contained concerning levels of metals like cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and lead. While some level of heavy metals may occur naturally, seven juices had high enough concentrations to potentially harm children's developing brains if they drank just 4 ounces per day. Removing all heavy metals from food and drink would be impossible, but consumers may want to choose natural or homemade juices instead of brands with high metal levels.
