So that is so interesting about your well water having even more arsenic than rice because I tell myself that by rinsing the rice a few times I am removing the arsenic from the rice but actually, I may be adding arsenic if my water is from a well. Or not. City water probably has too much arsenic also. Sorry got off the subject of what great girls these are and what a fantastic job they did. At least they're probably going to continue to think about what they eat and drink in the future.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-37963215734876834462014-02-19T22:20:25.070-05:002014-02-19T22:20:25.070-05:00Well done girls, but how much is safe and how much...Well done girls, but how much is safe and how much is too much? Should I worry? I'll probably forget all about it by tomorrow....<br />in previous centuries, arsenic was used as a beauty treatment, it was taken in minute proportions in food to smooth the skin. Taken over too many years or in too large proportions it did damage the health however.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-13561961753533528012014-02-19T22:20:00.103-05:002014-02-19T22:20:00.103-05:00Well it certainly does sound like these grand kids...Well it certainly does sound like these grand kids are so busy in school working on interesting projects.

Just look at the rise of all those autoimmune diseases correlating with the rise of poisons and chemicals in our food. And don't get me started on GMOs.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.com
