Alaska Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Just saw this today. I think I may be staying away from rice for awhile?? http://www.ktuu.com/news/la-fi-mo-rice-arsenic-consumer-reports-20120919,0,3458602.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hmmmmm, that might explain what happened when I was high in arsenic. We thought it might had been because of well water. But, I was only using rice as my only grain at the time. You can eliminate arsenic with lots of clinatro and sodium alginate. I did it on my own and got my levels down in a few months.Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaC Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Did they measure urinary arsenic? How many times a day were you eating arsenic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 It was a blood draw. LOL! I wasn't eating arsenic - but, was having rice a couple times a week and the area I lived in was known to have aresenic in the water - and the air.Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hmm, did you notice any difference before/after the arsenic levels dropped? Certainly enjoy a number of dishes served with rice - though many of them are Indian and are also served with Cilantro! Seems like the cultures that rely on rice already use some of these natural aids with their foods - sodium alginate comes from seaweed, and in Japan while they eat a lot of rice, they use a lot of seaweed, too. Pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 It really came as a shock. I wanted my cadmium levels checked - as it seemed there may be issues with that and my water. I really can't say it made that much difference - that I remember. It's one of those things that you check out with chronic illness ---heavy metals.I was doing rice bread and rice and trying to be totally glutten free. Soooooooo, sometimes we think we are helping ourselves.Hey, I'll still eat rice - just not as much and mix it with cilantro some of the time.Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
