And e.coli in Canadian meat. Not that worries us, but when I think about all those cows that suffered, just to have their meat thrown out.

I know, it's devastating, the rice info was posted here, but this time it was a Consumer Reports link. My folks actually subscribed us to that magazine so our issue showed up with the headline on the cover :(

"Based on data and scientific literature available now, FDA is not recommending that consumers change their consumption of rice and rice products at this time, but that people eat a balanced diet containing a wide variety of grains."

I'm totally not stopping nor reducing eating rice. I love rice.

Arsenic and Old Rice?

Arsenic and Old Rice?

IMHO, this is more of a public health/large scale food supply safety issue than a reason to change what we eat on an individual level. There is currently no evidence that these levels of arsenic are harmful. There is also not a lot of evidence that arsenic is not present in lots of other foods. It is always a good idea to eat a varied diet, but I don't see any reason to avoid rice at this point.

It concerns me because my baby's food is thickened with rice (she won't take it otherwise). :(

I'm still giving rice cereal to my baby. But also oatmeal cereal. And soon another kind too, just to mix it up.
