Snap, Crackle, Pop. Start your day with high levels of arsenic.  Rice products from Britain contained high levels of arsenic.  How much arsenic do you eat and drink?

58% of the products tested in the UK exceeded the recommended European Union limits for children. While arsenic in water is restricted arsenic levels in food are not.

Who eats cereal?  Children do.  Arsenic is linked to asthma, heart disease, gastrointestinal issues, skin, lung and gastrointestinal cancers.  Some of these organic and non-organic cereals were found to be 168% above the recommended levels for babies and children.  

I had an arsenic poisoning case due to a patient eating rice products. She presented with severe gastrointestinal symptoms of bloating, gas, loose stool, insomnia, difficulty breathing, distended abdomen and low energy.  Her blood serum levels were high as well as her bioaccumulative tissue storage levels.

This might be another reason to go grain-free.  

We do heavy metal testing and treatment.  What's your total body burden?  Find out.
