Food safety: What’s lurking in rice? (Marketplace)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 фев 2019
- Marketplace commissioned lab tests on popular brands of rice cereals and snacks to test for levels of arsenic, a chemical that can be especially harmful for babies and children. We investigate which brands and varieties of rice are more likely to contain arsenic.

At first I thought it was going to be about toenail clippings found in rice.
Lol... What happened to the Toe Nails !!!? Are they in the Rice ?
Some rice sure dang tastes so.
oh ma gosh sameee
Ohh godd
Lol same , also im on my grandmas google acc
Same. Much trickery.
In Asia, both adult and babies eat the same rice. The only difference is the cooking method. It’s called “porridge/congee”...no need for any fancy packaged rice cereals.
where the fuck do you think these fancy packaged rice cereals are sourcing their rice from?
Alexandra ahaha I love congee even now! Especially when I’m sick.. always hits the spot
Facts bruh in South Asia it’s the same thing all homemade just a diff name... no need for that crap
@Alexandra - Don't get too self-satisfied and complacent about this. In much of Asia some (many???) farmers use substantially more pesticides on their crops than do even farmers in the USA's industrial agriculture system. No government agency in the couple of Asian countries where I've lived seems to be monitoring and enforcing pesticide use regulations. Admittedly, my statement is based on anecdotal evidence from media stories about agricultural chemical sales practices in Asia. Some pesticide manufacturers are responsible in educating farmers about the proper levels of pesticide use. Unfortunately, others are not. Instead, the distributors will push uninformed local farmers into buying and using more pesticides and hazardous chemicals on their crops, including rice. Then, those over treated crops get mixed in with everything else after being harvested and combined in coops and market consolidators.
Although many of the chemicals allowed in US industrial food chains are banned in other western countries, particularly Europe, few Asian countries have such standards and those that do have standards controlling the presence of harmful chemicals don't seem to do much to enforce the standards.
We ate rice since we remember. Banana mash with soft rice is a standard babyfood here since ancient.
I live in USA. But -- I love CBC Marketplace!!!
Wow 😮
@M I don't know much about CBC in general. I just like the CBC Marketplace segment investigations.
A sizable portion of Canadian conservatives really dislike CBC. Personally I'd gladly pay double in whatever comes out of my taxes to fund CBC. There needs to be news agencies that aren't beholden to their advertisers. Yes CBC is biased to whichever government agencies support their funding, but you need something to balance out Fox, Bartbreit, Rebel News which are biased towards industry/private enterprise. Both are needed. Fox, Bartbreit & Rebel News are needed to hold government agencies feet to the fire.
@Cody AndersonI think CTV have a version of this....called W5 or something similar ...not too sure
I just watch Marketplace also. The testing and data they gather is real and the research is in depth. These clips we see are just the basics for us viewers. The rest are for medical journals and such. If not for these undercover or investigative jobs we'd all be in the dark.
She didn't answer the question of why there aren't regulatory limits already. It sounds worse when she says that they've been studying it for 10yrs, and have done nothing.
"Eat brown rice, it's less processed and better for you."
"DON'T EAT BROWN RICE IT'S POISON."
*curls up in the fetal position*
I get sick whenever I eat
Also, most of the brown rice sold is rancid: if it smells sharp and sour, it's rancid. Most grocery stores don't have the faintest idea about this. They'll say, oh, that's the way brown rice smells. Nope. That's the way rancid brown rice smells. It's rancid because brown rice has oil that oxidizes if it's not kept in the fridge.
European countries are light years ahead of us as far as food safety regulations go. Why can't we follow the same guidelines? I feel the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is such a joke. Shameful...
I ask the same thing since I came to Canada from the “third world” Eastern Europe.
Because is corruption here on high level. No one cares about citizens. Just like everywhere.
Europe suffered the scars of industry in the eighteenth century. Two world wars pressed the reset button on how things were made and provided the opportunity to reinvent. The American, including Canada simply exported the manufacturing to Asia, now being scarred. The Asians do understand the consequences. . China's conversion to electric cars is a huge step though the use of rare lithium and various rare earth metals may simply turn out to be a new chapter in the planet's demise. Ken Bowd
There’s over regulation in Europe. That’s one of the many reasons why Brexit is happening. Over regulation makes things more expensive and may be considered too much government intervention for a free market. There’s more regulation in Canada compared to the US, where most stuff are imported from.
You kidding me right? HAHAHAHAHAA
As Asian who eats rice everyday I don’t know how to feel about this
quinoa is a good alternative
patrick05020 until it's not
it's very simple: rice from India and Thailand is low in arsenic, rice from the southern United States (,the cotton belt) is high in arsenic because they used arsenic based pesticides on the cotton crop that used to be planted there, now rice is grown on that land, that's why USA grown rice is high in arsenic.
Rice is cheap food
@@repealsection230forbigtech4 oh dear. I have been buying Californian rice
You really should not be feeding your child processed foods
Yeah, they should be feeding their child a hay! Lol
now that's sound advice to over-stressed overworked parents who just have spend 1hour30 in a trafic jam, still have to make sure they can deliver the paper their boss has demanded to be on his desk tomorrow at 9, who almost forgot to get the oldest todler at grandma's place, who still have to answer 47 e-mails, 296 sms's, pay for 14 things they bought online etc etc....
the main problem is that processed food has now become the more convenient and cheap option. We really need to take back control and make the more nutritious and healthy food more readily available.
If I understand this correctly we have high levels of arsenic in our rice because we (Canada Food Standards) don't have legal acceptable limits set or posted as standards. If I was a rice grower somewhere in the world and had a crop with higher levels than the EU or US would accept I would send it all to Canada. The fact that we don't have limits is unfathomable, if the UK tested and set their limit at 100 I would immediately do the same - I can always tweak it later if necessary. If you have no limit you end up with the situation we are in now ... how could we expect any different??
Well said
Most people don't realized that it hard to keep control the level of toxic in Rice. One batch may higher level of arsenic while the other may not be as much. I don't eat much rice since I very fuzzy of how it cook. Just like everything in life you consume in moderation.
So Canada has this socialist whimp leader and all is well so far..
Why stop at only testing for Arsenic? There's a whole range of other heavy metals that are usually tested when it comes to processed foods.
I'm wondering why is there so much arsenic, is it because of the growing region? Some rivers could have industrial areas upstream and all the agricultural areas downstream.
What are the arsenic levels for rice imported from different areas of the world?
Wow Im Asian and I eat rice breakfast lunch and dinner and Im not even exagerating...Most Asians really do.
Devil works hard but cbc work harder 🤯
Kace Purnomo Yeah but CBC’s credibility is now in question because they’ve been paid off by dairy to make a video promoting cows milk to discourage plant milk sales.
What's with the music? I'm trying to learn, not floss and dab my way across the kitchen.
200 iq rick and morty fan dab
Haha!
Right
200 iq rick and morty fan Laughed my face off! 😂 👏
Does that mean I’m old if I don’t know what floss and dab is? 😆 I know floss but...dab?? I dunno 🤷🏼♀️ 😂
I live in Denmark, here for quite some time recomendation is to limit rice in baby nutrition because of arsenic, so I'm a bit surprised it is presented as a new thing.
Being an old man, I have listened to this sort of show for most of my life - proving nothing changed to stop such reckless behavior. Actually I remember, or at least think I remember the CBC doing a ground breaking investigation on the quality of the air people breath. It was when TVs were blank and white, the city was, again, I think New York. Some will say "why didn't you google it?".
The answer is simple-we did not really care then, easily verified by the fact the whole planet is now in the same boat, Science can find man made chemicals anywhere on the planet Arctic to Antarctic.
Still we do not control the dumping of persistent chemicals.
ODDLY, if I have misnamed the black and white TV show or credited it to the wrong network, hundreds will speak out, commenting to correct me.
If only we could correct our behaviour so easy.
It was noteworthy how the parents reacted to the nail samples, told the truth about personal levels of arsenic, most fell deep into thought.
Thankyou CBC, still delivering quaulity after a lifetime.
Ken Bowd
15 liker on your comment on 17 may!!!!!
Thanks for your story, old timer.
What you said about people being up and arms about something irrelevant like the brand of tv but not about their health or what we’re paying to consume
Is so true
The Canadian government gets paid to protect people. It is known that they don't do their jobs as they should! What are choices for people to force government to do their job?
I am always thinking bring up fact without the context is just as, if not more misleading than a lie or misinformation.
1. Arsenic does exist naturally in human body at a very low concentration.
2. Although rice also contains trace amount of arsenic, the quantity requires to consume that can lead to increase the arsenic level in human body will be unrealistic high. As baby has lower body volume. The higher concentration can be understood which should not be alarmed right the way.
I hope CBC at least present these information to the parents before they conducted and reported those test results. May be not...who knows.
Most Asian do groceries in Asian market and most of the time they buy import rice... Maybe that's why its doesn't affect them that much?
False. It didn't affect the kids either results where normal. The reality is it's a fear-mongering piece.
What about in countries like Japan and Korea? Do they have the same issue with arsenic in their rice?
Arsenic is in all rice,its just the levels. Usually in Asia the rice is grown in water fields that never get drained so it would be the same if not more.
Idk about Japan and Korea, but in Indonesia the rice paddy isn't flooded all the time. And even now, the scientists already introduced method to plant the paddy on just wet field, without flooding it.
@@Gochew thank you
@@Apryll. rice cannot grow in flooded field, it is only flooded in the seedling period. you are very uneducated.
@@Francois_Dupont I would bet there are many many well educated astrophysicists who wouldn't know specific details about the farming practices for growing rice such as flooding occurs only during the seedling period.
Asians don’t give a **** we feed our babies rice 3x a day and still poppin.
The best rice without the arsenic problems comes from Asia If you read the label you'll see best brands are sold from Asian Markets. You could find it at your supermarket in the international food aises as well. They really have tough regulations on the rice exporting, can't afford to be shut down.
that's coz you live in a part of asia that's poorly educated and hangs on to the belief of an imaginary friend in the sky that'll fix all your problems.
Most people don't realized that it hard to keep control the level of toxic in Rice. One batch may higher level of arsenic while the other may not be as much. I don't eat much rice since I very fuzzy of how it cook. Just like everything in life you consume in moderation.
Why would feed babies rice every meal? Not every Asians feed babies with rice all the time since it a different cook process for adult and baby.
@@ellamone9998 i doubt it, you seen india's farms? And i cant imagine china is much better.
India uses tons of antibiotics in their animals, and its getti g back into their water system creating super bugs.
And both countries have way less regulations on pesticides and shit.
@@ellamone9998 you should trying looking up thia documentary on indias farms/super bugs.
I recently discovered marketplace, I subbed. Love this show. In 1982, I was told the same thing by my daughter's pediatrician, rice as the first solid food, easy on the stomach.
The vets also say rice is good for dogs with tummy trouble. Many dog foods contain rice same as for babies. I like the ending of this clip showing how to soak the rice overnight. I use Basmati from India and Jasmine from Thiland already lol, so tasty. Oh and that Arborio from Italy, have it 1 or 2 times a wk.
I was told the same thing in the 90's when my kids were born. Scary
In India we do a ritual called 'Annaprasanna' which means first rice feed. It's generally done after 8-12 months, according to the development of the baby. Home made kheer (rice and milk porridge flavoured with cardamom and some dry fruit paste) is fed.
When my cat wouldn't eat, the vet said to give her chicken and rice
Ella Mone and are you dead yet?
Asians been eating rice from day 1 and we’re the healthiest and the ones who usually reach the age of 100 the most.
I guess it depends on how much the rice fields are polluted...
yep and there was never a "disease" called itai-itai caused by runoff due to mining in the industrial age
Ya'll tend to wash the rice until water runs clear right? That takes some out.
@@maryh5748 i mean the water is never clear but usually just once is good enough
It depends where it grown. Some areas of the world have naturally high levels of arsenic in the soil, like areas of the United States.
Seriously, why do people buy commercial rice product for babies? Isn't cooking your own congee way better?
Why don't they just make congee? Whybdo they buy all that extra packaging and fancy instructions? Also WASH YOUR RICE IT HELPS
The Dr. at the end was very disappointing. She drank the Koolaid, I can't listen to her!
Thank you Marketplace for tackling this very real problem.
Toxic toenails are worrysome
I know! I should alert the guy who does my pedicures.
Rice is usually recommended because it's generally not going to cause too much stomach distress (after all, it's also recommended for people who are sick with a stomach bug) and because rice allergies are fairly uncommon.
Of course, I've also known people to start off with fruit and veggies instead of grains. My friend's kids all had avocado as their first food.
I made my own food for my babies ,why buy processed junk food like this for babies , oh , and my doctor told me stop nursing and get on with cows milk... ( you kidding right ?!), I am going to take new Canada food guide to his office ..smh
I am literally eating white rice while watching this. I eat it daily...
lol I was eating rice while watching this 😂
If you wash rice before cooking does it remove some of the arsenic?
It is in the plant, in the rice. If you wash your face, will it remove calcium from your bones? No.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO ON SOAKING AND POURING OUT EXCESS COOKING WATER ETC!!!
Much of the nutrition is being thrown out with the excess water!
But so is the arsenic. @@franceseskridge3475
@@franceseskridge3475 There is no nutrition left in white rice. White rice is totaly stripped of any beneficial components including fibre.
This is how Asians have always prepared rice. Not only does it make for better tasting rice and rice dishes, it can help reduce the number of harmful contaminants.
I always wash my white rice at least 5 times before putting into rice cooker.
Worse yet the levels of glyphosate aka Roundup...
Glyphosphate is pretty safe though
saani maula really?
@@shinchanthebest if you look into studies on Google scholar (paid or not I have paid access) you will find that across various studies and one meta analysis I have read there is no interaction between glyphosate and humans. It has some interactions with bees in which it indirectly affects their heart rate and some concerning interaction, however in humans there is no concrete substantial evidence. Now it might be that many studies are biased or have financial conflicts of interest of course but when you ask people who are in biochemistry they are more likely to tell you that there is no *evident* or obvious interactions
saani ok i mean i don't know if it is bad or not i just asked ;) but i i replied you in 1 hour WHAT A ACHIEVEMENT!!!!!!! *dab*
Saani Maula ah yes, the UNIVERSITY OF GOOGLE
FYI Safer 🍚 options:
Basmati 🍚 CA grown
Sushi 🍚 US grown
Thai 🍚 plus 2013 report Thai has banned GMO 🍚
Wild 🍚 good option!
Other grains like amaranth, millet, quinoa!
Minute blend brown, red & wild Rice & Quinoa is US & Thai plus unfortunately Bolivia. Latin America has high levels of
inorganic arsenic in ground water. So looking for another blend.
DONT BE TALKING ABOUT FOOD SAFETY WHEN ROUND UP IS ON AND IN EVERYTHING WE EAT AND DRINK
After I watched a few marketplace shows, I stop drinking bottled water, won’t eat Subway sandwich and shrimps from India. Now rice which I love ? What can I eat? 😂
Heavy metal testing and disclosure needs to be MANDATORY on all grocery products.
I grew up in Asia where we eat rice 3 times a day, everything is organic coz we live in the high mountains, no machinery and chemicals. But i never fed my daughter rice cereal mostly fruits, vegetables and fish i even gave her peanuts against what other people say when she was young.thats probably why she doesnt care much for rice and now i dont mind not eating either, sometimes weeks.
When the government official stated that parents shouldn’t be worried and that the levels were safe, there didn’t seem to be any push back from the journalist to counter those statements and that’s one of the reasons for government inaction.
One thing I know: Arsenic is bad when you've taken it and die from poisoning in a short period of time. That's the bad amount of arsenic.
The heck, I'm Asian. I'm 97% white rice, and I'll probably die first of eating a lot of grilled pork belly before arsenic gets me at... 95 years old? I love The Marketplace. but this looks like way too much like a straw man, an unnecessary scare. The experts you called in didn't say exact symptoms of arsenic poisoning in children, they're only saying "less arsenic, good". Sounds like hippie science to me.
bacteria on raw rice its called lactobacili ,very pro biotic. but those colorfully packaged baby food cereals has more chemicals in them than natural organic rice
They must be testing the levels before shipping out to be packaged so must be aware of readings either low or high
found the rice farmer
I'm glad I came across this video , Thank you !
I hope they do one of these shows for the UK. This is a great source of information, things you wouldn't even think twice about. Great show.
They need to stop with the damn music. Smh🤦🏻♂️ why do we need it?
Oscar M I also felt the intense crunk beat and cloud-rap trap instrumental were a little much. Especially in the scenes of the babies waddling around. Doesn’t fit at all. Sounds ridiculous played over this type of content. 😂
I’m glad I fully nursed my kids the first year of life. No rice cereal at all 🙅🏾♀️
You do realize some of the arsenic in your food end up in your breastmilk right?
Saani Maula and the babies had more arsenic than the mothers, what’s ya point!
damn😷 STOP FEEDING YOUR pets food that contains brown rice, i noticed it's in a lot of dog and cat foods
Hey, the thing about rice is overblown. I am Omani and rice is a stable dish that we eat literally every day. I'm 21 years as of now and I have been eating rice for my life-time. I have no issue with my development or cognitive ability 🤷🏻♂️
It depends on location as well. Apparently Thai and US rice is best
Have u had urself tested? If not, you don't know the effect!
i'd be more worried of that other shiet from that part of the world.
@banana aya playa Honestly I didn't. Thanks for the comment.
First off, being 21 is hardly any indicator at all. Tell me how you are at 60.
Second off, the Middle East doesn't have this problem (as badly) because their climate is so shit, they never attracted the weavils that caused us to use so much arsenic.
I can’t eat food without rice I eat food with rice since I was born
@Mr Glass If you said that in my presence, it would take everything in me not to punch you in the face!
I eat rice everyday too and sometimes 3 times a day!
I've been eating rice since a youth... wtf Scary
Arsenic comes from pollution not from rice. Well, instead of looking into the problem of pollution of course it is easier to pick a scapegoat - rice. On the other hand, one may wonder the true intention of the video - business or money and media is a tool to help business to make money.
@@scorpioedc7979 putting on tin foil hat, interested on what secret organization is funding this anti-rice campaign. please do tell.
I love rice, and have been eating it since childhood. In 2021, I found out about the deadly heavy metals lurking in it, and I haven't touched rice ever since. It's really upsetting because rice is my favourite food.
I’m happy to say that I saw that health canada is paying attention to this issue
My son's 1st food outside of breast milk was green peas at 6 months old. He very quickly, within a few weeks, went to meat. He had his 1st steak at just over 1 year. He has never had baby food. If the baby is old enough to be eating these foods then why not just feed them regular food? Baby formula is the same thing. It was originally made for mothers who can't produce milk but now so many mothers use formula.
But the EU and American/Canadian lifestyle and food consumption is different. Different bodies absorb different levels of nutrients.
Also infants bodies don’t finish developing until a certain age, so it would be obvious that the babies have higher levels of arsenic.
Thanks so much for this video. I saved it to my playlist “Important Info” since I love Rice. Never liked brown rice and now I know why. I even shared this video on my fb page since I have someone one there who is a mother and may be feeding her 2 babies rice products. I love watching your show
I love the work you're doing CBC!
How much arsenic is in rice anyways? And are we in danger..
More than other grains.
Probably not in immediate danger, but all things in moderation.
According to FDA documents, inorganic Arsenic compounds are at around 100 bbp depending on the type of rice.
I wouldn't really worry since there's many times more than that in seafood (up to 20,000 bbp in lobster and shrimp).
Also, we Asians eat more rice in a month than majority of Westerners eat in a lifetime, and we haven't turned into mentally retarded walking lumps of tumors.
As much as in normal wheat. Since rice has to farm in water surface. there are chance it got containment.
@@pawala7 lol....there's a few out there that could be mentally 'not right'
lol Jamaicans recommend porridge (cornmeal, oats, cremy wheat), and fruits.
Corn is worse because it is GMO now and has been linked to organ failure. Oats are often contaminated with mold and have been linked to allergies.
That’s because Jamaica imports these items from the USA cheap or free because of US government subsidies.
I've been eating rice regularly for my entire life.. I'm still alive
same here
Zee would So would you still feed your kids food laced with arsenic, mercury or other toxic substances when you have the choice and knowledge not to? Because you’re after all still breathing... you did just HEAR the test results came in with the babies having more arsenic in their tissues than the adults. You’re an adult so you’ll probably be fine, but what about your kids in the long-long term?
@@cl2nden1st89 if it's me i'll still feed my baby rice, not cereal form; but first congee, then well done rice, then normal rice just as my mother feed me when i was a baby
This episode is confusing and hard to catch on. I think you cut the intro, please add the intro
It a news segment on TV. It is there for run time.
What ever happened Mashed Vegetables as babies first solids? Why all the rice products, is it because it is cheap but can be sold at a massive profit???
This is ridiculous. Why health Canada don’t change the way would check ,what Canadians have on the food shelf’s. Especially for infants.
Thank you guys
Explain to me how we can find this out when you are shopping for all ages .
Is it on the back of the package and how do we know what is safe as most of us can't even pronounce many of the ingredients that is in them .
WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR .???
do you think this arsenic could be linked to SIDS as they wouldn't test for it unless you were specifically testing for it as it doesn't show up in blood tests
Why exactly was an American lab used when there are plenty of Canadian ones?
How do u explain the longevity in Japan where they practically eat rice everyday.
I guess theres a problem with rice made in the Americas.
wow you're dumb, it's genetics
@@AJ-hn8qw it's not genetics, American eat a ridicules amount of meat cheese and eggs. That's why their fat. Asians eat a lot of rice and vegetables, that's why their more healthy. Simple
There are many versions of rice and rice is a stable food for majority of the world. It’s all about washing them and letting them soak.
None of these answers. Arsenic can be safe in small amounts. The big issue is we don't know what amounts are acceptable. The video isn't the best but CBC marketplace does this a lot, you have to use these as starting points but never listen to their conclusions. They are often misleading.
@@emmaaxenchuk3882 you also have the stomach pH of all carnivore animals on the planet , 1.5-3.5 pH vs herbivores/omnivore animal that have 4-6 pH. You are telling me we should eat greens xD lmfao you are delusional to the biology of the human body
What about par-boiled rice?
Par-Boiled is short for Partially Boiled. Aka partially cooked rice. You buy and than finish the cooking process.
@@usswat66 par boiled rice is soaking and steaming to remove the husk, the rice is not partially cooked.
@@usswat66 "buy and -than- then finish the cooking process." "Than" is for comparison; "then" is for sequence of events.
@@usswat66
I was just inquiring about the arsenic in it, turns out, it's very high.
Btw, love your films.
@@Lawliet734 aw come on. It's obviously a typo. You ought to see through the context of what the statement is about.
If anyone's wondering, "inorganic" in chemistry means a molecule that doesn't contain carbon, it has nothing to do with pesticides/gmo/whatever.
Yup I had to look it up myself because they didn't do a good job of explaining that.
I like rice
WHY IS EVERYTHING BAD!!!!
I feel like knowing that all of this makes me sick.
what do ya recommend as substitutes for eating rice? just fruits?
Thank you so much! Awesome info
Well, I’m chinese and I eat rice everyday and I’m wondering if they can do a marketplace study on rice brands(not affiliated with baby food).
What were the babies nail clippings test results ? Did anyone catch that I must’ve missed it ...
So, an effective way of removing arsenic from rice is by leaching it out through an overnight soak. It seems to be a lot like how you'd get tannins out of acorns.
My fiance is filipino and they eat so much rice so this is good to know for when we have kids.
Why are they reminding me 30 minutes before idkw
Rice is not the first food babies should have grain wise. "Cornmeal" is the go to grain, it is soothing for the stomach and intestinal track as a whole! All carribean parents knows that, it is even good for adults, especially those with Gastrointestinal symptoms etc... what in the hell is going on, why is the health department allowing all this madness knowingly😷💯😷😞
My youngest one didn't like rice cereal much(I've only fed my kids Gerber baby cereal). We switched to regular oatmeal at 7 months and he preferred it. I think it was the texture.
I really wish Canada would adopt other countries law about certain things...
Thanks for covering such an issue, it’s unsettling to think baby products contain such harmful chemicals. Companies need to give a damn about our future.
You are a disgusting human being because you obviously don't do your research and give a damn. Otherwise you'd know that CBC does like being completely truthful.
Okay. I'm soaking the heck out of my rice now and will use a lot of extra water and drain that when cooking. I use parboiled (converted) rice like Uncle Ben's. Is there anything special about the way that has been processed that already reduces potential arsenic in it before we even use that rice?
we asian have been eating rice for generations and most of the time 60-70% of the whole plate everyday. 10KG of rice can last about less than a weak! . but my family never have any cancer or heart disease problem
Ms. Don't-Worry-Parents shows when she's lying or evading by lifting her voice at the end of the lying sentence. People seldom have such obvious "tells."
My babies hated rice cereal. They probably could sense the poison
I swear marketplace is going to make me become germaphobic and avoid ALOT of food
So I didn't understand the final statement: so jasmine rice from thailand has more or less arsenic? that's the kind i buy
Right now we have covid-19 going on and after watching one lady run her hands over loose romaine lettuce I decided it would be safer to buy the bagged romaine lettuce.
Why is any amount of ARSeNIK approved ? What ?
Because arsenic is a naturally occurring trace element that exists in soils and ends up in crops that we grow. Some plants are more prone to absorb that arsenic than others.
Great great video. Thanks for shedding light on those dark areas..
So sad Australia's GP's recommend the same thing, Rice cereals and rice cakes for babies and rice brands and varieties in forms of finger foods flood the shelves
Many are not necessarily safe as we might think; arsenic levels are not mentioned at all on the finish product. Basically it's 90%
rice ... so they should've been transparent.. but few to none people know about that... arsenic; the nutritionist well we Would never see them in any routine appointment. And why are these Big international brands push those as being safest brands for babies out there.. who people would think Employ Nutritionist; safety FDA rules, follow strict and contingent sourcing of ingredients free of toxic and harmful chemicals.... ! That's why they charge AUD$4, for a small packet of 70g of Organic rice cake. While 1kg if Rice would cost approximately the same price? Ridiculous right? People would think they are buying The safest healthiest product. Very disappointing and stealing. What a total world of deception we are living in..!
You do realize that India, China, Japan and the rest of the Asian countries where people live long and healthy lives all eat rice almost 2-3 times a day, right?
Love this program... my question is ...since when this had been discovered? I am mother of 3 young adults ....I have been feeding my kids on Nestum rice cereal ... how much level of arsenic it has or had ...since 1984....
Luckily I always give my kids whole foods, and never processed baby food, they don't like them
Is MILUPA baby cereal not available anymore? It's what I fed my daughter in the early '90s. Rice to begin with, since it's supposed to be easiest to digest. It was also what every baby book/magazine I ever read said....not to mention what my generation was fed first as a baby.
Wow, talk about fitting a stereotype. Oh...and we cut way back on rice consumption on rice long ago when I read about it in Consumer Reports.
I love your videos! Greetings from Greece
I feel for these women who are following a doctors instructions, but I do have an issue with parents just blindly subjecting their babies to harm because they don't want to do their own research. The reality is cereal for babies is not a good idea for many reasons, it's main use is a filler not a meal. The fact is, if you child's digestive system is ready to handle solid foods, you should be giving them real foods, not processed crap. And stop listening to general practitioners and people who got their medical training before the 90s.
Why is this all of a sudden news when we've known this for years
So, Why is does organic have more arsenic? just curious
The most rice (brown) consumers in india is "kerala" atleast 2 full meals a day..
Betrayed by Canadian Health Organisation!! Shameful
