Think your gluten-free diet is healthy? You're exposed to twice as much
arsenic and mercury, study finds

Gluten-free diets have increasingly grown in popularity over the past few
years

But scientists claim it could be dangerous for those choosing to eat such
foods

They found high levels of the 2 toxic metals in the urine of gluten-free
dieters

Gluten-free diets have taken off rapidly in the past few years.

But new research suggests those choosing to follow the trend are exposed to
high levels of two toxic metals.

Those going gluten-free have double the amount of arsenic - a known cause of
cancer - in their body, scientists found.

While traces of mercury - another deadly chemical - are almost 70 per cent
greater, expert claim.

Anyone think this is real??

And then they go on to say that the reason for the higher arsenic and
mercury in gluten avoiders is that they eat more rice. I guess, as
long as you buy your own organic rice or non-organic rice that you
soak overnight, it should be ok?

That's a strange answer to the question.

American grown rice has less, and wash it thoroughly. I'm not dead
yet, but I'm planning to be in the future.

"Basmati rice from California is the lowest in arsenic."

"Rices from Texas are among the highest in arsenic."

The article I read said American rice in general was lower in arsenic,
but CR says Texas rice is high? Why am I not surprised.

"White basmati rice from California, India, and Pakistan, and sushi
rice from the U.S. on average has half of the inorganic-arsenic amount
of most other types of rice."

"All types of rice (except sushi and quick cooking) with a label
indicating that it’s from Arkansas, Louisiana, or Texas or just from
the U.S. had the highest levels of inorganic arsenic in our tests. For
instance, white rices from California have 38 percent less inorganic
arsenic than white rices from other parts of the country."

Since they're talking about inorganic -i.e. non natural occurring-
arsenic, it must be something about the farming method that makes the
difference.

Arsenic in rice isn't new. Or do you think that every scientist who
has reported about it over the years, is on the take?

It probably is, and the answer is to change fertilizer formulas. Let
big business earn their keep for a change.

Any one show that the intake of the amount of arsenic in the levels even
from the higher rice level is harmful to humans .
there is a healthy race of humans can not remember which at the moment
whose daily intake of arsenic may kill us,apparently licking rocks
containing arsenic from an early age.

"Regular exposure to small amounts of arsenic can increase the risk of
bladder, lung, and skin cancer, as well as heart disease and type 2
diabetes. Recent studies also suggest that arsenic exposure in utero
may have effects on the baby’s immune system."

Licking rocks, eh?
