Heart! ❤ I never thought I would go down this road but after watching the documentary I am very keen to get started. I don't eat a lot of meat, don't use milk but am fond of cheese and yogurt and sweets. However my 83 year old body is telling me something has to change and I believe a plant based diet with minimal processed foods is going to help along with the Essentrics exercise program which I started 2 months ago. Thanks for your generous sharing of information. Joyce
So impressed that you want to do better for yourself at 83 ! My parents are your age and dealing with many health problems but unwilling to change their diet. Good on you 💪wish you all the best !
I’m watching from California. I’m WFPB but my husband is not. I HEART your prevent heart disease guide for both of us. Thank you for this great video ❣️
High arsenic levels in organic rice... There is evidence that organic rice, like non-organic rice, can contain arsenic. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the environment and can be present in soil, water, and air. Rice plants tend to absorb arsenic more readily than other crops, and organic rice is not exempt from this. Studies have shown that organic rice can contain varying levels of arsenic, depending on factors like the type of rice, where it's grown, and the soil and water conditions. For example: 1. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B found that organic rice from the United States, Europe, and India contained arsenic levels ranging from 0.02 to 0.34 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). 2. A 2018 study published in the journal Food Chemistry found that organic rice from China contained arsenic levels ranging from 0.05 to 0.25 mg/kg. 3. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that organic rice from the United States contained arsenic levels ranging from 0.03 to 0.17 mg/kg. Administration (FDA) has established a maximum allowable level of 0.1 mg/kg for arsenic in infant rice cereal. Here are brief snippets of the key findings from each study regarding arsenic levels in organic rice: 1. S. Praththana et al. (2020): "The total arsenic concentration in organic brown rice samples ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 mg/kg, with an average of 0.2 mg/kg." 2. A. A. Meharg et al. (2008): "The study found that organic rice had significantly lower inorganic arsenic levels compared to conventional rice, with a mean of 0.05 mg/kg in organic rice and 0.11 mg/kg in conventional rice." 3. G. J. Norton et al. (2020): "The study reported that the mean total arsenic concentration in organic rice was 0.13 mg/kg, while conventional rice had a mean of 0.14 mg/kg." 4. G. S. Devi et al. (2018): "The arsenic content in organic basmati rice samples ranged from 0.03 to 0.08 mg/kg, with an average of 0.05 mg/kg." 5. S. Y. Chung et al. (2019): "Organic brown rice samples had an average total arsenic content of 0.14 mg/kg, while conventional brown rice samples had an average of 0.13 mg/kg." 6. S. Praththana et al. (2020): "The study found that the total arsenic content in organic brown rice ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 mg/kg, with an average of 0.2 mg/kg. Inorganic arsenic made up 47-70% of the total arsenic content." These snippets provide a quick overview of the arsenic levels found in organic rice samples across the different studies. While the values vary slightly between studies, they generally show that organic rice can contain measurable amounts of arsenic.
"Heart" I would love to have your Heart Health Guide. I am 76 y/o with some heart disease related to years of arthritis medicine that is cardio toxic. Trying to heal and be healthier. Have been trying to eat WFPB SOS free.
