I dunno but I suspect the applesauce I have made has it because I don't core the apples and remove the seeds before I boil them down.

I drank water from the drinking fountain at school. Which probably had arsenic in it back in the 1960's/70's.

There was a wonderful column in our local, weekly paper on this just last week. It wasn't the usual one that most of us over 50 have seen about remember when, but it was similar.
