Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.

Fruit juice has been falling out of favour for its high sugar content, low fiber and low nutritional value. Now parents have another reason for pulling the plug: heavy metals. According to a study, measurable levels of Cadmium, inorganic arsenic, mercury or lead were found in every single one of the 45 products it tested from major brands. Almost half the juices had metal levels so high they were deemed harmful, with seven of the products posting heavy metal concentrates high enough to harm children who drink as little as half a cup a day. The risks they assessed were all due to persistent daily intake over an extended period of time.

Whether you are an adult or a child, it is a good idea to reduce the amount of non-refrigerated ready to drink juices.

To be fair, it would be impossible to remove all heavy metals from food and drinks, since some can occur naturally. Toxins can enter foods through water, air, soil or in product packaging. In some of the juices tested, the level of a single metal was not concerning, but combined they could have an adverse effect on children’s developing brain and nervous systems.

Organic juice or juice that is marketed for children, is not necessarily any safer. In general, grape juice and juice blends were found to have the highest average metal levels.

The main theme of the passage is:

((a))
parents concern about the fruit juices
((b))
effect of fruit juices on children
((c))
heavy metals in packaged juices
((d))
preparation of packaged juices

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

parents concern about the fruit juices
