Many organic foods and high-energy products are sweetened with brown rice syrup as an alternative to high-fructose corn syrup. Consumers who eat these products may be avoiding high-fructose corn syrup, but they also may be exposed to arsenic that's been absorbed by the rice plants from which the syrup is made. In this podcast, Kathryn Cottingham talks with host Ashley Ahearn about her recent market-basket study of products containing brown rice syrup and other rice-based ingredients. Arsenic was detected in all the products tested, although Cottingham cautions it's too soon to say what this means in terms of potential health effects.
许多有机食品和高能量产品都用糙米糖浆来代替高果糖玉米糖浆进行增甜。食用这些产品的消费者可能是在避免高果糖玉米糖浆，但他们也可能接触到大米从土壤中吸收的砷。在这个播客中，Kathryn Cottingham 与主持人 Ashley Ahearn 讨论了她最近对含有糙米糖浆和其他以大米为基础的成分的产品进行的市场篮子研究。在所测试的所有产品中都检测到了砷，尽管 Cottingham 警告说，现在就说这对潜在的健康影响意味着什么还为时过早。
