Cancer av arsenik i ris och risprodukter?

Arsenik i ris och i risprodukter??? Vad i farfar???

Consumer Reports / konsumentverket det oberoende i staterna har efter kontroll upptäckt höga värden av arsenik i det ris som säljs i USA. Och om det säljs där så kan ni nog lugnt räkna med att det säljs här oxå.
　
citerar:

Organic rice baby cereal, rice breakfast cereals, brown rice, white rice—new tests by Consumer Reports have found that those and other types of rice products on grocery shelves contain arsenic, many at worrisome levels.
Arsenic not only is a potent human carcinogen but also can set up children for other health problems in later life.

Detta innebär att vi här ser svart på vitt att organic inte innebär att produkten är giftfritt odlad och säker - den kan alltså innehålla skadliga mängder av arsenik eller andra tungmetaller.

Potatis som är gmo och giftigt ris ... våra möjligheter till en hälsosam kost den krymper för varje dag som går. Ledsamt, ledsamt....
Sedan kommer kommentarer som att det inte finns några vetenskapliga bevis för att arsenik i mat är farligt och detta i en värld där vetenskapen äger sina vetenskapliga experiment likt cola-cola äger sitt recept - "hemligt innehåll".

Det är inte bara läkekonsten som har börjat bli sjuk utan även matkonsten... de har båda ersatts av Orwell´s framtidstänkande med fokus på den egna plånboken.

What our tests found

We tested 223 samples of various rice products that we bought mostly in April and May, many from stores in the New York metropolitan area and online retailers. The samples covered a variety of rice-containing food categories, including infant cereals, hot cereals, ready-to-eat cereals, rice cakes, and rice crackers. We bought products often used by people on gluten-free or other special diets, including rice pasta, rice flour, and rice drinks.
We tested at least three samples of the foods and beverages for total arsenic. We measured specific levels of inorganic arsenic. And we checked for two forms of organic arsenic, called DMA and MMA.

Though inorganic arsenic is considered the most toxic, concerns have been raised about potential health risks posed by those two organic forms, which the International Agency for Research on Cancer has labeled "possibly carcinogenic to humans." We found DMA in the 32 rices we tested, which include choices from the south central states and elsewhere, including California, India, and Thailand
　
In brands for which we tested both a white and a brown rice, the average total and inorganic arsenic levels were higher in the brown rice than in the white rice of the same brand in all cases. Among all tested rice, the highest levels of inorganic arsenic per serving were found in some samples of Martin Long Grain Brown rice, followed by Della Basmati Brown, Carolina Whole Grain Brown, Jazzmen Louisiana Aromatic Brown, and Whole Foods’ 365 Everyday Value Long Grain Brown. But we also found samples of brown rice from Martin and others with inorganic arsenic levels lower than that in some white rice.
　
Cereals cause concern

Worrisome arsenic levels were detected in infant cereals, typically consumed between 4 and 12 months of age.
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.

So what’s a parent to do? To reduce arsenic risks, we recommend that babies eat no more than 1 serving of infant rice cereal per day on average. And their diets should include cereals made of wheat, oatmeal, or corn grits, which contain significantly lower levels of arsenic, according to federal information.

Det behövs nya riktvärden för hur höga halter av arsenik som får lov att förekomma i mat för barn och vuxna. Jag kan väl lugnt tillägga att det även borde finnas med på innehållsförteckningen så att vi konsumenter kan göra de val vi önskar för oss själva och vår familj.
