There is arsenic in rice, and it's generally higher in brown rice than in white rice. Consumer Reports tested 223 samples of rice products in 2012 and found significant levels of arsenic in most of them, including inorganic arsenic (the really toxic kind).As Consumer Reports found, it's not unusual to see arsenic at levels of 200 ppb or more in rice-based baby cereals. Click here for the complete test results.The release of this information freaked out the U.S. rice industry, resulting in enormous pressure being put on the FDA to try to assuage fears that rice products were contaminated with arsenic (which they are).
So the FDA, always working in the interests of food corporations rather than the public, issued a statement saying that yes, there was arsenic in rice, but no, it didn't pose any "short-term" health risks.Well, we already knew that. Otherwise people would be dropping dead from eating rice. But what the FDA totally glossed over was the long-term health risks from chronic exposure to arsenic.

Let's see now, some of the foods we are not supposed to eat..
rice,(arsenic laden)
white potatoes, (nightshade)
corn,(genetically modified)
wheat (overhybridized)
This just about eliminates all starches / carbs from our diet.
This is not a possible diet for poor people in third world countries like USa.
Well JEANNON... that's if you believe all this horseshit.
From what they tell us, i should think all the TSA scanner retards should all have their skin falling off about now.
I think the message here is FEAR EVERYTHING... oh yeah, and starve to death... how about: DO US A FAVOR AND JUST DIE ALREADY !!! OR... SHUT UP.
