I honestly don't understand why america imports apple juice from china...Maybe im ignorant but there are many many apples in america that are likely arsenic free right? Why cant we depend on our own apples instead of ****nut chinese ones?

Apple seeds have got arsenic in them. Peach ones have cyanide.

Yeah, I was gonna say, is that really super surprising? Especially at 55 ppb. That's probably enough to give some very minor arsenicosis symptoms after becoming a Mottaholic, but it doesn't seem like something to get majorly worked up over, given that arsenic is naturally occurring in the fruit that you're juicing.
