Arsenic in rice

[Rahab]

Seems we have another risk. 

 

Rice in this country is dangerously high in arsenic. 

 

Arkansas is the worst and Texas next. California has half the amount. 

 

Seems the soils have a lot of arsenic in them from the old cotton days. Arsenic was used to kill pests. Now those fields  are being spread with chicken leftovers like feathers and bones etc. that are laced with arsenic. Seems chickens are fed arsenic in their last meal before market so they cannot stand up and fight being rounded up for market. It’s easier this way  to go in and scoop them up. They are still alive but just can’t stand up. 

 

So what to do?  Don’t eat chicken of course. And stay away from rice grown in those areas. Seems that Pakistani and rice from India test lowest in arsenic. 

 

You can cut the amount if arsenic in half if you boil it and strain it like you would pasta. 

 

Next turmeric is great for detoxing the body from arsenic. I take 1 tsp turmeric with a dash if cinnamon and a tsp honey in a shaker jar of 8 oz almond milk.   

 

Detoxing the body from metals is so important!!  Then give the body the very best nutrition in order to stay healthy.

Seems in Bangladesh, they were growing turmeric that had a dull brown color. They began adding lead chromate to the turmeric which brightened up the color of the turmeric because ... 

          wait for it ...

                      Americans like pretty colors!

Customs also does not check every shipment of turmeric that enters the country, they sample it from time to time.

Turmeric naturally is orange. Sounds to me like it was some other root they were trying to pass off as turmeric. 
Get the organic then or buy the root yourself as some markets sell it. Dry and put pieces through a coffee grinder to powder it. 
 

if you’re still scared eat a lot of cilantro. It not only detoxes from mercury it also detoxes from other metals and arsenic could be one of them.

It has always made me wonder how babies were getting cancer. Just didn’t make sense so young. 

they've tested the baby formulas and baby food and the rice cereals and rice desserts and rice milks all had high levels of arsenic in them. 

bothers me too how many people are getting pancreatic cancer and brain tumors. This includes sdas too. 
 

Arsenic could be the reason.

Babies get cancers for different reasons than adults. Childhood cancers are often from the more rapid cell division of growing up that allows mistakes to be made in cell division. Cancers in young children are often in tissues that are active in children, but are not active in adults. This is especially true in brain cancers.

One of the problems is that people often want to assign a specific reason for cancer that will fit all cancers. Arsenic can be pointed at as a possible cause of certain cancers but not most cancers. Unfortunately, there will never be a single cure for all cancers.

Pancreatic cancers are highly associated with diabetes and sugars. And high fructose corn syrup seems to get the blame for a greater share of it. HFCS is now in many many food products and is very hard to get away from. Almost all sodas in the supermarket have HFCS. You have to look really hard to find cane sugar sodas. HFCS is one food item I work very hard at reducing if not eliminating from what I eat and drink. Canola oil is another.

It is more from the soils of Bangladesh and their ways of agriculture. One reason cited is a massive flood in Bangladesh in the 1980s, which doesn't explain why it would be a continuing problem. A high proportion of women in Bangladesh have high levels of lead. More than half of the world turmeric comes from Bangladesh. Don't really think they are passing something else off as turmeric.

Tell me more about things you know of canola oil. 
 

I agree with you about the dangers of HFCS.

The following article summarizes what many have concerns about regarding canola oil:

I agree that canola is bad. Been avoiding it in products for over 15 years. 
 

BTW just tested the turmeric I have and it’s pure.
