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
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
suarezpatricia+FollowRice Drama: What’s Really in Your Bowl?Just found out that every single rice sample tested in a new report had arsenic—yep, 100%! And a quarter of them had more than what’s allowed in baby cereal. The wild part? There’s no limit for regular rice, even though we all eat it. Some types (like California white, Thai jasmine, and Indian basmati) are safer bets, but brown rice and risotto? Not so much. Maybe time to switch up your grains or try new cooking tricks! #FoodSafety #RiceFacts #HealthAlert #WhatWeEat #ToxicMetals #Health01Share
William Vasquez+FollowIs There Arsenic in Your Rice?!Just found out that every single rice sample tested in a new report had arsenic—yep, 100%! Some even went way over the limit set for baby food. The wild part? There’s no federal limit for regular rice, even though we all eat it. If you want to cut down on the nasties, try cooking rice like pasta (lots of water, then drain), swap in quinoa or couscous, or stick to Calrose, sushi, or jasmine rice. Brown rice and risotto? Maybe not tonight. #FoodSafety #Rice #HealthNews #ToxicMetals #WhatWeEat #Health30Share
xwest+FollowRice Lovers, You Need to See ThisTurns out, a ton of store-bought rice in the US has way more arsenic and cadmium than you’d expect—like, way above what’s safe for babies. Some rice types and where they’re grown make a big difference (California sushi rice is the safest bet). Swapping rice for ancient grains or cooking it like pasta (lots of water, then drain) can cut your exposure big time. Labels don’t always help, so check where your rice comes from! #FoodSafety #RiceFacts #HealthAlert #ParentingTips #ToxicMetals #Health184Share
