Dr Oz: The apple juice is toxic.

[soylent]

(possibly - this is me, not Snopes - because most people think of cyanide as a gas - due to executions where it is).

I'm not sure. I think more people may think of cyanide as a solid than a gas. Most people probably have a vague recollection that something called zyklon-B was used in nazi concentration camps to murder people; but do they know the active ingredient was hydrogen cyanide?

In contrast most people should have in relatively fresh memory various spy movies etc. where cyanide was used in pill form to commit suicide(cyanide salts, e.g. potassium cyanide).

p.s. why would an MSDS for prussian blue(iron(III) ferrocyanide) which is famously stable and non-toxic(LD50 rat, 8 g/kg!!!; used to treat cesium and thallium heavy metal poisoning) say this: Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of ingestion. Hazardous in case of eye contact (irritant), of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of
skin contact (irritant)

Moreover, who drinks that much apple juice?

Children, in some homes.

WHO recomendation for drinking water is 10 ppb, precisely for cancer concerns, so ... yes?
I think it's that you drink considerable amounts of water daily, and it will quickly build up in your system.

levels for something consumed in significant quantities every day of your life (.i.e. water) have lower limits.

This is reminiscent of the mercury issue with Consumer Reports a while back. They reported occasional spikes that were higher than the level the FDA established, and it had to be pointed out that the FDA value was for sustained consumption, not the level of outlier cans.

Unless your the very unlucky soul who always ends up picking out the outlier cans...

If it's any consolation, at least your widow will be eligible for the MDC...
