After our wise older siblings at Consumer Reports published an investigation into apple and grape juice, finding high levels of arsenic and lead levels in a concerning percentage of samples, parents should know what actions to take to keep their children healthy.

Kids drink a lot of juice, a Consumer Reports poll found — a full 35% drink more than pediatricians advise. Consumer Reports sets out some guidelines to help parents limit juice consumption.

• Avoid giving infants under six months any type of juice.
• Children up to six years old should consume no more than four to six ounces per day.
• Older children should drink no more than eight to 12 ounces a day.
• You can dilute juice with water to help kids adjust to the lower amount they’re drinking. However, you should also check the water in your home for arsenic, and use a filter if those levels are high.

The Today show featured Consumer Reports’ investigation this morning, check out a clip below:
