Reported arsenic levels in rice prompt concern
Kind of freaky, no? I think I'll be avoiding rice cereal with this baby!

This paragraph is what stood out to me: Arsenic causes lung, skin and bladder cancer, Landrigan said. He added that arsenic is also very harmful to babies' brain development. If a baby is exposed to arsenic in the womb because the mother is eating arsenic or if a baby ingests arsenic in the first months of life in cereal, rice milk or other food, the arsenic could interfere with brain development, reduce the child's intelligence, and cause behavioral problems.
