Melanie James+FollowToxic Metals Found in Popular Rice!Just found out that a ton of popular rice brands in the US have arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury in them—yikes! A new study tested 145 rice samples and found 100% had arsenic, and over a quarter were above the FDA’s limit for baby cereal. Brown and white rice from the Southeast had the highest levels, while jasmine and basmati were a bit safer (but not totally clean). Homemade baby food with rice? Maybe think twice! #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #ToxicMetals #Health131Share
rmartinFollowingIs Your Rice Hiding Toxic Metals?Just found out that almost every rice brand in the US has traces of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury—yikes! Brown rice (especially from the Southeast or labeled 'grown in the USA') is apparently the worst offender. California, Thai jasmine, and Indian basmati rice are safer bets. The FDA doesn’t even have limits for regular rice, only baby cereal. Pro tip: cook rice in extra water and drain it to cut down on toxins. Who knew rice could be so shady? #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #HealthyEating #Health31Share
Melanie James+FollowRice Brands Under Fire for Heavy MetalsJust found out that over 100 popular rice brands in the US have toxic heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury—yikes! Brown rice from the southeast or labeled 'grown in the USA' had the highest levels, while Thai jasmine, Indian basmati, and California rice were safer bets. The wild part? There’s no federal limit for arsenic in rice for adults, only for baby cereal. Makes you think twice about what’s on your dinner plate! #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #HealthNews #Health10224Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowRice Lovers, You Need to See ThisJust found out that every single rice sample tested in a new study had toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury—yikes! Even big brands like Trader Joe’s and Goya weren’t spared. The wild part? 1 in 4 samples had more arsenic than what’s allowed in baby rice cereal, but there’s no limit for regular rice. If you’re worried, try cooking rice like pasta (with lots of water), swap in grains like quinoa, or stick to California white or jasmine rice. Who knew rice could be so sketchy? #FoodSafety #RiceAlert #HealthyEating #ToxicMetals #DidYouKnow #Health8417Share
