Fruit Juiced

UK Scientific research has detected high levels of antimony
(a toxic metalloid linked to cancer & lethal in large doses)
found in 16 varieties of fruit juice which millions of children drink daily.
This would pose an extremely high risk to kids with an autoimmune disease.
It was previously found in assorted mineral waters and was believed to have leached from PET bottles.

Just for "shits and giggles"...literally,
a fun factoid:

In the 19th century a pill made from metallic antimony was used to purge and revitalize the bowels.
Dubbed the "Everlasting Pill", it would be swallowed, shat, and stored for reuse.
"A single pill would serve a whole family during their lives,
and might be transmitted as a heirloom to posterity"
