“This fear-mongering, it reminds me of yelling fire in a movie theater.”

—DR. RICHARD BESSER, ABC News health and medical editor, in criticism of Dr. Mehmet Oz, TV host and TIME contributor, over claims he made on his show Wednesday about the dangers of trace amounts of arsenic in apple juice. A laboratory hired by The Dr. Oz Show found higher levels of total arsenic in apple juice than the FDA allows in bottled water — a threat to the public's health, Oz said. But in a letter to the show, the FDA called Oz's claims "irresponsible and misleading" because the show's testing did not distinguish between organic and inorganic arsenic, a key point, the agency said, since only inorganic arsenic is toxic. Bottled water contains more inorganic arsenic, while the organic form is what's found in foods, including juices. The FDA says apple juice is safe to drink. [via ABC News]
