HERB - Arsenic question

[Lughnasa]

   ANY plant can contain arsenic.  As is a mineral, thus, it can be drawn
through the soil by the roots.  Plants (animals as well) need miniscule
amounts of As to be healthy.  So, if you're testing and toning your soil,
don't forget ALL the requirements for whatever plants a going into the spot.
  More specifically,  does your friend eat things like apple seeds?  Some
people do, and apple seeds contain relatively high amounts of As.  I know
someone who has been eating them all his life (not alone, only when he eats
apples, he just eats the whole thing) and he seems fine.
