>The same applies to grains: cereals such as wheat hybridize in ways that are unusual. There is probably a level of certain chemicals (such as, but not limited to, prolamins, agglutinin, and amylase trypsin inhibitors) that are safe for human consumption, but the hybridization of these grasses for modern commercial production have greatly increased the amount of these chemicals in a given food product.
Is it not possible to buy brown rice thats not polluted with chemicals? I eat brownrice from costco, am I consuming chemicals everyday?
- todd8 9y agoI’be cut back on rice, brown and white, organic or not because of the high arsenic levels. Arsenic causes cancer. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-much-arsenic-is-in-your-rice/index.htm https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-muc...
- dominotw 9y agowow! I had no idea. Thank you. > While most crops don’t readily take up much arsenic from the ground, rice is different because it takes up arsenic from soil and water more readily than other grains. > Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic is associated with higher rates of skin, bladder, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease. The FDA is currently examining these and other long-term effects. https://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/Metals/ucm280202.htm https://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/Metals...
