Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal commonly found in industrial workplaces. You all know what lead can do, I'm sure. Did you take a look at all the baby foods that are part of this??? |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3738979 United States09/19/2012 02:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Among the four infant cereals tested, we found varying levels of arsenic, even in the same brand. Gerber SmartNourish Organic Brown Rice cereal had one sample with the highest level of total arsenic in the category at 329 ppb, and another sample had the lowest total level in this category at 97.7 ppb. It had 0.8 to 1.3 micrograms of inorganic arsenic per serving. Earth’s Best Organic Whole Grain Rice cereal had total arsenic levels ranging from 149 ppb to 274 ppb, but higher levels of inorganic arsenic per serving, from 1.7 to 2.7 micrograms.

I don't even buy Canadian rice... I buy it from a cleaner country... not telling who so as not to affect supply :) I will tell you...that it ain't Fukushima'd Japan either!! |

Quoting: Sammi7  ummm you can also just buy non-American rice... stay away from the countries that god Fuku'd and you'll see even that mother jones article listed countries with much cleaner rice. Sorry, but when it comes to pollutants, "Made in America" is not a good thing...even India's rice is cleaner!! |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3199789 Canada09/19/2012 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This will not be popular with the "non-Jesus" people, but have you ever heard of praying over you're food, asking the LORD to cleanse it, and thanking Him for it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6427313 Yeah, you'd best be getting to work praying over those smouldering reactors at Fukushima, they're killing all the birds and butterflies in the whole region, it's probably because the Japanese were too dumb to realize they could fix the whole situation just by praying over it. Who knew the solution to the problem of pollution was so simple! Woohoo we never have to be cautious or cleanly ever again! |

You can either starve to death or take your chances and eat your rice stash. I say keep buying rice for emergency purposes. This deserves to be repeated: US poultry industry has a disturbing habit of feeding arsenic to chickens. Arsenic, it turns out, helps control a common bug that infects chicken meat, and also gives chicken flesh a pink hue, which the industry thinks consumers want. [link to www.motherjones.com] Don't forget that chicken is also pumped full of hormones so that the birds will grow very quickly. All meats has nasty things in them. This is includes not just meat but almost everything on store shelves. Sad, but true. |
