Just In - Bad News for Preppers - FDA Tests Find Arsenic in Rice

I'm sure there's some radioactivity in the rice too, I heard it took about 15 years for it to fall to background levels in most European food after Chernobyl.

But those are separate issues.

Ah damn, is there anything at all left to eat that wont eventually kill you?

so off to never never land for me...

By now everyone should know that everything that is wrong with our world (like arsenic uptake in foods) draws its origins to those who are now the most wealthy. They have shat on the world for their riches, and sit upon their throwns in defensive arrogance.

They'll lie cheat and steal before they ever THINK about doing the right thing.

Cook it in a 6 to 1 ratio of water to rice? WTF? That would be nothing but rice floating around in water. You can't cook rice like that, unless you want rice soup. The ratio to make rice, (white) is 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water.

Blech.


Why all of a sudden now is rice bad? Has it always been this way? Or is this something new that just happened to rice?

It is inorganic arsenic. Manmade but they'll try to sell you on how its a combo between natural and manmade.

Minute Rice wasn't on the list

5 Stars! Thank you for posting this. One would think that it would be the other way around and foreign grown rice would contain more arsenic. After reading this article and putting 2 + 2 together it can be figured out that this is because the places with the highest arsenic levels in the rice also have the highest amount of ranching and other types of animal production industries. The manure is being reused to grow the rice and is how the arsenic is getting into the rice. India and Thailand are predominately vegetarian countries and they eat very little meat. They don't have the high cancer and heart attack rates we do over here because they're not consuming animal flesh. Watch the documentary titled Foods That Kill. It's from 1993 and not a very high quality production but the doctor making the presentation is absolutely spot on and makes the best case for going vegetarian or vegan that I have ever seen made. Since watching it I have scaled down my meat consumption drastically. Rice is a big part of my diet. I need to be more careful. Thanks again for the heads up!

...And eat more fukushima 3-eyed fish!

Drain it when the rice is cooked. We have the technology.

Well, if I have to do this, I might as well throw away my rice cooker. LOL

And this surprises you?
Thought it was common sense that it would also be tainted by TPTB.I bought rice and other food to keep from starving to death when SHTF.I'm going to eventually die..most likely from a bullet to the head or guillotine blade for not going along with the NWO.But it's far better way to die than the agonizing process of starvation or dehydrating.No ones gonna live long enough to die from cancer once all hell breaks loose.

yes and there is ice in the arctic....

The very one that approved aspartame?

It's just more pure bullshit being put out by the Powers That Suck, trying to slow you down in any way possible, while they lay in the final groundwork for your future enslavement, or extermination.

Well crap, after Fukushima ( I'm in Tx) I bought a huge and costly galvanized round troph for growing my own rice.
Rice requires it's first few weeks under several inches of water. :(

Now we have the damn, West nile mosquitoes.

Was just discussing with hubby to turn the rice troph into a container to grow melons or gourds now to keep mosquitoes out of the wet rice bed.

Decisions decisions.... Grow wet rice and keep the mosquito threat that come with it or eat arsenic laden store bought rice.

Fu*k!

Can you put a good quality mosquito netting over your troth, or bring it indoors?

Your homegrown rice would be the healthiest rice by far, but West Nile is no joke either.

If you have to buy US rice, at least buy from California, because around your area seems to be particularly high in arsenic. But for other stuff, more local would probably be better, since Texas got less Fuku'd than Cali.

By the way, I read that the West Nile is abating. I don't know whether the threat is really over in your area yet though.

RRrrr... Is it safe to bite my fingernails whilst reading all this cheery ass shit? Ya know, everyone jokes on here about 'woo! Doom on!' and stuff, but I think we all know what's up for year's end. Man made fuck-all for everyone. They've cornered themselves into it even if they didn't want it at this point.

You better believe that's exactly what I do!!!!!!!!

news to scare soccer moms away from prepping

they found it in parts per billion

micrograms. I doubt it would kill you, unless you were eating nothing but rice for weeks

Quinoa BITCHEZZ!!!

I guess you would need to find out what rice is poisoned and where it comes from and read the label when purchasing rice in the supermarket. Damn FDA.

Read it close, this is all BS in the name of raising your water prices and importing and taxing your rice.



Snip: It is almost impossible to say how dangerous these levels are without a benchmark from the federal government. Consumer Reports uses New Jersey's drinking water standard - a maximum of 5 micrograms in a liter of water - as comparison because it is one of the strictest in the country. But it is unclear how accurate it is to compare arsenic levels in water and arsenic levels in rice - most people consume more water than rice, so drinking water standards may need to be tougher.

This is timely propaganda. We have known for over 30 years that the average grain of rice grown in the U.S. runs at 260 parts per billion. But in China their rice contains less than 150 PPB. They are going to force us to stop growing rice and import it, follow the money on this story.

At the same time they will demand we remove ALL the arsenic form water and that will not be cheap so they can further raise rates and hurt the farmers. Currently water has to have less than 10 PPB or 5 PBB if it is bottled water.

Again they are trying to kill an industry and export it to china.

Next they will demand people close their wells and get municipal drinking water because 20% of wells in the country are over the 10PPB limit.

The FDA has less credibility than the Iraqi Information Minister anymore.

love this statement! i might have to borrow it from time to time.

lol thanks. Feel free. I can't believe that anyone thinks they work for the people. They are obviously working for pharma and biotech.

when the shtf I'm gonna eat it anyway
