There's a Fungus Among Us

This article was pretty shocking. I had no idea that fungicide was allowed in our orange juice in the first place, let alone the fact that the FDA was even being asked to raise the bar on the "tolerable" level. It said that the EU allows no traces of fungicide to be present in its juice imports. Last time I checked, Americans and Europeans are all human beings with the same susceptibilities to disease and toxins. How can the government justify this? The juice industry wanted the bar raised to give it time to transition to higher standards (less toxins in their juice). ?&@%&^*#@!!!!!! So we are meant to be exposed to a higher degree of toxins through juice, something that many people drink, for the sake of the industry?? It's such a bold move to make on their part given our health is at risk. What worries me most is how many instances the FDA has been asked to raise limits regarding pesticides, fungicides, etc., and said yes.
