More health news:

     Here is a follow-up to the link I posted earlier this week on why chicken, rice, mushrooms and wine are so contaminated with arsenic.  This link covers the effects of too much arsenic in our food.....not a good thing.

     Cleveland Clinic has issued an e-mail warning that eating meat increases the risk of diabetes. Here is Dr. Joel Kahn's post where he lists 9 major studies confirming this.

     I did some online research on grains other than rice and their arsenic content.
Per Consumer Reports:
The gluten-free grains amaranth, buckwheat, millet, and polenta or grits had negligible levels of inorganic arsenic. Bulgur, barley, and farro, which contain gluten, also have very little arsenic. Quinoa (also gluten-free), had average inorganic arsenic levels comparable to those of other alternative grains. But some samples had quite a bit more. Though they were still much lower than any of the rices, those spikes illustrate the importance of varying the types of grains you eat.

Per NutritionFacts.org  wild rice has comparable levels of arsenic to regular rice.
"Wild rice appears to have levels of arsenic comparable to regular rice, whether sourced from China, sold in the U.S., or specifically from Wisconsin."
