Researchers tested 60 common beverages and found that five contained levels of toxic metals above federal drinking water standards.

The sampled beverages, which included those commonly found in grocery stores, such as single and mixed-fruit juices, plant-based milks, sodas and teas, were measured for 25 different toxic metals and trace elements. Mixed-fruit juices and plant-based milks (such as oat and almond) contained elevated concentrations of toxic metals more often than other drinks.

Seven of the 25 elements exceeded drinking water standards in some drinks, including nickel, manganese, boron, cadmium, strontium, arsenic and selenium. Lead was detected in more than 93 percent of the 60 samples, but mostly at very low levels, below 1 part per billion.
