Poison in the Juice Box: What They’re Not Telling You About Your Kid’s Drink: They sit quietly on the shelf, bright labels, happy fruit mascots, bold promises of “all-natural” and “100% vitamin C.” You toss a few in your cart, thinking you’re doing something good. A harmless treat for your kid’s lunchbox. A little sweetness for yourself on a hot day. But here’s the truth nobody wants to talk about: those innocent-looking juice boxes might be loaded with something far more sinister than sugar. In a recent investigation that feels more like a horror story than a health report, dozens of widely sold fruit juices were found to contain heavy metals. Not just traces—measurable amounts of arsenic, lead, and cadmium. You know, the kind of stuff you’d expect to find in toxic waste, not a child’s cup of apple juice.
