Can Chicken Consumption Contribute to Dangerous Levels of Arsenic? Chicken is what's for dinner for millions of Americans, but while it's accepted wisdom that chicken is generally leaner and lower in cholesterol than red meat, chicken may pose a hidden health risk from arsenic, according to a recent study headed by Tamar Lasky of the National Institute of Child Health and Development. Arsenic is an old-fashioned poison that is now a regulated feed additive approved for use in fighting intestinal parasites in chickens. Inorganic arsenic (both organic and inorganic are used in chicken feed) is a carcinogen linked to respiratory, skin, and bladder cancers in people who are exposed to 10-40 micrograms a day over an extended period of time. The average person can ingest 3.6 to 5.2 micrograms of inorganic arsenic from chicken each day. Other sources of arsenic exposure are dust, drinking water, fumes, and diet, but the consumption of chicken is rising. Also alarming is the fact that Americans are increasingly eating chickens with the highest concentrations of arsenic. Young chickens now constitute 99 percent of all the chicken eaten, and young chickens contain 3 to 4 times as much arsenic as other chickens, according to the study's authors. As chicken consumption continues to rise, revisions need to be made in the currently accepted levels of arsenic allowed in drinking water and other environmental and dietary sources. My Comments: One cannot taste the arsenic in chicken, nor smell the mercury vapors coming off dental amalgams, nor feel the arsenic from pressure-treated wood coming into one's feet or hands. One must have a program to move these toxic metals out of the body on a daily basis if optimum health is desired. Both of these metals are proven carcinogens and neurotoxins. Here are my suggestions: Read the most authoritative text ever published on cellular detoxification: Clear Body Clear Mind by L. Ron Hubbard. Do this program. I guarantee you will feel like you’ve gotten a new body when you’re done. Begin Body Detox to keep you cleaned up each day. Eat organic food as much as possible. Eat certified organic free range meats and chicken. Drink purified water. The microcluster waters are best, like Penta water. Get 30-60 minutes of exercise daily. Get some sunshine each day. Take a daily sauna. Look at my testimonial at www.sunlightsaunas.com. I love my infrared sauna. Make sure you have a bowel movement at least once a day. Take a multivitamin/mineral/antioxidant/essential oil supplement daily like Wellness Essentials, or Beyond Chelation.
