The News: Florida tested 46 candies and found arsenic in 28 of them (including Skittles, Snickers, and Sour Patch Kids).

The "Limit": Their benchmarks are surprisingly strict—suggesting as few as 2.5 Snickers per year for kids to stay under their safety threshold.

The Conflict: Candy makers say this is a "scare tactic" because the state tested for total arsenic rather than the specific, toxic type regulated by the FDA.

This makes us wonder
- Do we know enough about this "safe" arsenic to trust eating it?
- Is this a false alarm or are we just ahead of the scientific consensus?
- Could both forms of arsenic actually be detrimental to your health?
- Why is it in our candy and/or food?
