Researchers from Manchester and  CSIR - Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Kolkata has linked the high arsenic in rice and chromosomal  damage. Thus people who plenty of rice are at risk.  There are naturally occurring arsenic and those coming from insecticides and fertilizer and this is the cause for concern.

This findings will help regulators control the arsenic in rice especially in regions of the world where rice is staple food, ie,about 50% of their diet consist of rice.

Did you get arsenic from your chicken and/or rice?

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola archives.

You may have accidentally ingested arsenic from your chicken or rice.  (We do not the extent of the usage of the pharma drug  Roxarsone in the PHL.  But this is used extensively by COFA chicken producer to make the meat pinkier and control growth of parasites in chicken.)  Roxarsone uses organic arsenic which is less potent than inorganic?

The arsenic in the drug find its way into rice, because rice farmers in US use chicken manure for fertilizer.

Arsenic poisoning symptoms include: skin lesions, delirium, headache, diabetes, anemia, low blood pressure, increased incidence of stillbirth, infant mortality, diminished intelligence among children.

Has this pestilence included/reached the PHL? FDA should investigate.
