Foods containing arsenic
Arsenic is one of the World Health Organization’s top ten chemicals of ‘major health concern.’ ‘Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic is associated with higher rates of skin, bladder, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease,’ reports the FDA.
The FDA has released statements about the presence of arsenic in rice, apples, and all organic fruits. But unlike the countries of the European Union, the U.S. has no ban on arsenic in our food.
