This news article focuses on the arsenic levels in foods that contain brown rice syrup. Before reading this article I didn’t think arsenic was even in foods I thought it was mostly found in old buildings and building materials. I was very surprised to learn that organic foods that contain brown rice syrup, like cereal, cereal bars, and energy drinks, and baby formulas had 20 times higher levels of arsenic than the foods without brown rice syrup. When I first started my researching organic foods I thought all the articles I would find would be about the health benefits, not that there may be traces of arsenic in some organic food.
