Thank you, Kat.I need to take liquid tylenol, and embarrassingly, we can usually only find infant tylenol, so that's what I take.  I wondered why we couldn't find any recently, and only just heard about the recall. I've had to take a tylenol for colds, instead. IP: Logged |

That would apply to just about any topic in a slow Forum. As I said, don't make a habit of it. IP: Logged |

By Linda CarrollNext time you pick up an organic cereal bar or buy infant formula, you might want to read the label closely. High levels of arsenic, a chemical linked to cancer, chronic diseases and developmental effects, have been found in foods that list organic brown rice syrup as a primary ingredient, according to a new study from Dartmouth University. Organic brown rice syrup is often used as a substitute for high fructose corn syrup in prepared organic foods. One of the infant formulas tested contained twice the inorganic arsenic allowed in drinking water, according to Environmental Protection Agency standards. One cereal bar contained 12 times the legal limit for drinking water of 10 parts per billion (ppb). High-energy foods tested had 8 to 17 times the limit.

The researchers tested 17 infant formulas, 29 cereal bars and three types of energy shot drinks. Two infant formulas –- one dairy based and the other soy based – listed organic brown rice syrup as their primary ingredient. They both contained arsenic levels 20 times higher than the other formulas made without organic brown rice syrup.
interesting thanks for posting and read the label to see if it contains *brown rice syrup* IP: Logged |
