Default Pressure treated lumber and raised beds

I was in Home Depot the other day looking at lumber for building raised beds. I asked the salesman if the new pressure treated lumber (ACQ treated) was safe to use now for making vegetable raised beds, and he said a resounding NO.

Googling on line here, all the articles I find suggest the opposite. What can anyone tell me about it. They no longer use the older treatment that had arsenic in it.

If you don't use it, what have you used. I hate the thoughts of 2" thick cedar boards when I want to build them 18" deep. $$$
