re: #129 Bubblehead II

I have never particularly liked Dr. Oz and don’t consider him reliable (another one of the offerings of Oprah). His expertise is in cardiothoracic surgery, not epidemiology.

The arsenic presentation he gave was all about scare tactics, ignoring that toxicity is in the dose, and that there are differences in organic and inorganic arsenic and how that affects biochemistry.

Parents, OTOH, hear arsenic in apple juice and will freak out.

Yeah, that’s responsible public health considerations.
