More than 1 in 4 rice products sold in the U.S. have high levels of arsenic. This is not about obscure brands or specialty imports. Millions of families serve the same white and brown rice each day, unaware of the toxic load it's delivering to their children. Arsenic exposure during infancy and pregnant women poses an immediate threat to brain development. Latino, Asian American, and Hispanic households where rice is a staple have high risks. It's not just arsenic. The damage to the kidneys and bones is compounded by Cadmium, a heavy metal found in rice. More information: http://bit.ly/2l9TfsF...
