I did a hair analysis on my 15 year old son, it showed a significant amount of arsenic. He has been drinking rice milk for 10 years. He switched to coconut. Going to do another test in a couple months.
It's good to get this information as an avid rice eater so I can consider changes. Thanks for not steering away from important topics. Let's not be afraid of sacred cows
What a great video! Very well made and easy to follow! Thank you Doctor. I love soy milk and so do my kids. We'll start making sure the rice we eat is brown rice imported from India too! These videos are so helpful and important... thank you so much.
Most of these plants milks are a total rips off when it comes to cost. Just blend some of your favorite base(almonds/rice/soy) with some water and add a sweetener. (I just use water cos I'm lazy...)
Just recently found out that I'm allergic to almonds and soy. I had been drinking coconut milk until Dr. Greger's video on its effects on cholesterol (and I'm trying to lower mine). Also had been drinking rice milk from Trader Joe's until this video. Guess I'm on the hunt for oat and/or hemp milk. Anyone have any suggestions?!
After watching the frequent segments here on arsenic it came to my attention the extremely high levels of arsenic in US produced wine. In fact there was a class action suit in California that was eventually thrown out over labeling requirements but it appears the concerns over arsenic were and are real where wine is concerned . The issue doesn't just end there as beer too is a harbinger of excessive levels of arsenic. Considering the amount of arsenic in the diet and its known link to cancer how is this issue remaining under the radar when it comes to linking cancer with a cause.
We aren't talking "sulfates". We are talking arsenic which is a heavy toxic metal. Rice is heavy on arsenic because of it being grown in soil once used for cotton years ago which was attacked by the Boll Weevil of which the farmers used tremendous amounts of pesticides with arsenic to combat the pest. The arsenic in wine could be from pesticides and could be from something else but one thing for certain it has been determined the arsenic is not organic and therefore man made. Independent researchers of whom are yet to be identified are now claiming you have nothing to worry about but again the credentials of the independents have yet to be revealed. The original lab tests done by the EPA with no dog in the fight found high levels of the metal. You could have easily done your homework before responding. ------- The U.S. government has not established a limit for arsenic in wine --or any other food or beverage, except drinking water -- because there is no body of evidence to support the claim that the trace amounts of arsenic found in wine pose a risk. ------------ Duh! The bottom line is that if arsenic is dangerous in water then it is dangerous wherever it is found. We know for a fact that arsenic causes cancer and NO safe limit has been determined.
Awesome video. Thank you again for all your research and hard work. We may just stick to soy. We rotate out milks (coconut, rice , and soy). And my boys arent drinking a ton of it. However in the mainstream mommy community, there is a lot of anxiety about soy. I always find myself doubting.....I appreciate all you're videos about soy. It helps me relax a bit! Ha ha!
Thank you for all your videos. I've been making progress as far healthy eating. I still eat meat and dairy on a rare occasion, but most of my calories come from whole foods like rice beans sweet potatoes and veggies.
can you talk about brown rice bran and germ? that stuff is delicious, but I imagine it has high arsenic content since it's removal is what lowers the amount in white rice.
What about Rice Bran Oil? Is their a lot of arsenic in that? I'm thinking perhaps not, bc it seems as if arsenic is water soluble, but then irs made from the bran, where arsenic is concentrated....
Wow, scary stuff! People have been telling me for years to ditch the pasta and eat more rice. My problem is that I love pasta and rice not so much, so I've been eating a lot of whole grain organic pasta and not much rice. Always felt bad about that, until now. I live in Europe and we have a lot of rice coming from India here and when I do buy rice I tend to buy organic Basmati, because I like the taste and smell of it. People have often told me it's silly to buy organic rice that costs twice as much as regular rice, but I guess if you want arsenic-free food, it might be worth the extra money (duh!). Also, as a vegan with knee problems for 25+ years from an old injury, I've often been told that I'm being risky, that I should drink milk for the calcium, etc. I drink a lot of oat milk and almond milk, so I think I'll just keep doing that too haha. Awesome news; the next smart ass that comes at me about calcium is being sent a link to this video! :D
Hi Dr Gregor, just wondering if you can touch upon why Adrenal Fatigue is not considered a valid condition in the medical community? what are your views on it and how can we treat fatigue?
saintⓋearth I know! I'm irritated now because I never really ate rice until all these holistic nutritionists made me fear gluten and I started to eat rice pasta, rice crackers, rice cereal and rice cakes.
cmon 1% of the population has celiac disease, meaning they have to care about gluten. 99% don't have to care, but "gluten free" sticker producers want these 99% to care! Cmon, don't be fooled, you have to be smarter than that...
We drank a lot of rice milk and have changed to almond and soy because of this information. After watching this video I'll switch entirely to soy milk. Also am buying expensive but very delicious red rice from Bhutan now. I wonder what the symptoms of low level arsenic poisoning are.....40 years of rice consumption.....yikes.
Soul in the Raw depends where your tempeh is made from. Here, it's mostly imported from Asia. Asian rice contains way less arsenic ;). I guess it's mostly America that's fucked. Sorry..
What if we were tested for soy, dairy and gluten from a integrative doctor and i can't have all three? My doctor never explained why i can't have soy but she said it will help my auto immune flares and my debilitating inflammation. . But I'm at high risk for celiac disease so i cut out all three.
William Read patatoes, Sweet patatoes, quinoa, amaranth, oats (oats don't contain the protein gluten), beans (both starchy foods and protein foods) and lots of other foods to choose. All vegetables and fruits, nuts etc etc
I am so glad I don't consume rice milk. It's hard bc I cannot consume gluten though. I was so happy to buy rice products (rice crackers, rice pasta, rice wraps, etc) as an alternative but I need to seek another choice. I made some Banza (chickpea based pasta) today instead and it was delicious.
What healthy and easy to cook carbohydrates are left now? I was always under the impression that rice was the best but now rice is a bit toxic, wheat doesnt have nutrients, other stuff has pesticides and the more exotic ones are really expensive or take 45min+ to cook.
The problem, Dr. Gregor is that the studies didn't state where the rice that produced the high levels of arsenic were grown. Rice grown in fields that previously had cotton fields or have recieved their water derived from other fields that had chemical fertilizers that then fed back into the common streams and rivers are what has caused that rice to contain high levels of arsenic and there are ignorant companies possibly still selling that rice and other companies source the rice for their rice milks and rice syrup from that same rice. But please don't paint all rice producers from the same brush. Lundberg Family Farms has grown rice in untainted fields of soil and using water derived from no chemical fertilized fields for generations and those arsenic also in a chemical foound naturally in very minute amounts in rice and other foods the rice grown by Lundberg has been independently analysed and found to contain very safe levels of the chemical.
Hello Dr. Gregor. Could you please made a video based on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mantoux test? It's on the rise in Malaysia over here... P.S. I'm kinda 'trapped' in these condition... hopefully they won't force to take so much of allopathic drugs...
Can't wait to hear how my potatoes, oats, beans, lentils, and wheat are killing me, too. Went vegan for health and ethics... ended up poisoning myself. Fun times.
Adam well... You are avoiding lots of other bioaccumulated crap by being vegan so it's ok. The point of this video is to make you aware, not scare you. Just buy asian rice, patatoes, quinoa, amaranth, sweet patatoes, beans etc etc. In today's world, avoiding all poisonous shit in food is impossible. You do the best you can.
I'm so confounded as to why the literature hasn't revealed that soy actually must somehow create hormonal abnormalities in men in large quantities. It's said that only one older man was found to have ED but when I was drinking lots of soy milk and lots of soy protein powder it was the first and only time I ever experienced ED in my life. When I quit the ED disappeared. A friend as well grew man boobs drinking too much soy. We're only two anecdotal cases but I just have a strong sense that there is a link despite the literature. My guess is that there is something hormonally disrupting in soy protein isolates and not whole soy though the research refutes it. Maybe It's only our unique biochemistries that didn't do well with it. Personally I'll stick with almond, oat or cashew milk regardless.
Well, I guess I can expect cancer soon since I consume about 1 tbsp of brown rice syrup daily. Oh well. When I find that I have only a few months to live I can go into a supermarket and pick out all of those things I've been avoiding to live healthy and dig in.
gdcat777 the vegan diet is proven to aid the immune system to combat new cancer cells and impair cancer growth. So I think where fine. Just don't consume more than your body can fight lmao
Honestly, this is all really disheartening. Rice has been a staple for me since transitioning to a WFPBD, and rice milk has been our go to substitute for the few things we need a milk substitute for. It doesn't have the weird aftertaste of other plant based milks. Also, people have severe allergies to soy. In addition, such exotic things a potato milk are not widely available. I'm lucky we have an alternative to soy milk here. This whole arsenic series has really taken the wind out of my sails. 😔
I've noticed the you reference Consumer Reports these days. In years past, the magazine left health matters to their "expert" panel (a group of dumb MD's), and I frequently chided them for the practice. Recently, though, they have found other sources for information, and seem to be providing better guidance.
Hello Dr. Gregor. Could you please make a video based on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) and Mantoux test (Tuberculosis Sensitivity Treatment, TST)? Any chance that 1st Mantoux test provoke the 2nd Mantoux test to be false positive? Let's say all the so-called conventional treatment (allopathic medication) has been done and to be believed that all the MTb die, will I get the 3rd Mantoux positive again? Tuberculosis is on the rise in Malaysia... P.S. I'm kinda stuck in this bullshit condition...
Mhm... maybe better switch from my favorite rice milk to a tasty brand of soy milk or maybe even almond milk... can afford it now after all. I can live without the rice milk.
Hello, I also stumbled onto another guy who also talks about Fasting, Nutrition and other stuff... Check out -->> Scott The Truck Driver Fasting on TH-cam. A warning, Scott swears throughout his videos but he does get his point across of what he's talking about on Fasting and Nutrition. He is down to earth and funny though... I like your TH-cam Channel. Thank you... Chris
While there may be a risk in concentrated foods like rice syrup, in general, rice in population studies doesn't measure up to the scare: As shown in Table 2, long-term total rice intake was not associated with risk of overall cancer incidence. Specifically, participants who ate at least 5 servings of total rice per week had a relative risk of 0.97 (95% CI 0.85-1.07; P for trend 0.37). Similarly, neither white rice intake (Table 3) nor brown rice intake (Table 4) was associated with overall cancer risk. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4919813/ So yeah, eat whole foods, the rest of the arsenic scare doesn't measure up to long term population studies.
Just get rice from arsenic-unpolluted areas (India, California, etc) as he said, and you're fine. It's harder to know or control where the rice is from with pre-made rice-crispies or rice crispies treats, rice milk etc.
Yeah, I've heard and seen more than enough now, it was already clear after the first few videos. It just keeps going on and on. Just avoid rice when we can, until arsenic-free rice becomes available. C'est tout.
This video is all over the place. I love your videos but this one was not thought out the best. Only feeding an infant ANY kind of milk that isn't breast milk will end up in deficiencies.
C'mon Micheal what are you doing making these kinds of videos? Arsenic in rice is no where near as dangerous as saturated fat and cholesterol in animal products.
This is such a strawman argument. Did he say that saturated fat and cholesterol in animal products are not bad now suddenly? No. He has made a plethora of videos on that subject as well. He's simply providing us with facts. I'm vegan as well, but I won't close my eyes for the fact that not all plant products are good for you, whether they are naturally not good for us (like poisonous plants, or coconut milk for that matter) or whether they have become toxic through human intervention (like the arsenic in rice). I feel like you are subtly insinuating that we should refrain from making any videos criticizing anything that is vegan, and that is a very counterproductive stance to have. It will only push people away from veganism by making them feel like vegans are all idiots looking to confirm what they want to hear - Which is unnecessary because veganism is an incredibly rational choice. There isn't anything to hide. Besides, there's plenty of equally inexpensive alternatives to rice. What's the problem here?
Maybe because that topic has been covered to death, and people who heed his advice and adopt a whole foods plant based diet would be likely to increase their rice consumption. The channel is Nutrition Facts. He covers all kinds of nutrition topics. Do you really want video after video bashing animal products and nothing else?
Hmm, this is getting to manipulative for me - so rice milk is not nutritious……… because of one case study. But then you give no comparison with another case - only soy milk, only cashew milk diet etc. How is this accurate? Where is the context? There is similar cherry picking to calorie restriction vegan diet from which people have severe health problems and claim veganism to be bad, but the real cause was calorie restriction whatever on traditional, vegan or other diets - you will always getting problems. And you say rice milk have not so many calories, but in the table you showed soy milk had less or equal calories to rice, in fact oat milk the same, hemp - less. wtf? We are not blind or dumb! If this is for vegan activism - it has a poor design which throw a negative shadow to all "pro vegan" science findings, if this is for science - it is manipulative and not correct.
I was going to share this, but you promoting GMO soy milk is just as bad. Also, men should be be drinking any soy. Soy does not prevent cancer, but causes it.
I did a hair analysis on my 15 year old son, it showed a significant amount of arsenic. He has been drinking rice milk for 10 years. He switched to coconut. Going to do another test in a couple months.
What happened?
@@johnnyroe8053 the arsenic decreased significantly.

What a great video! Very well made and easy to follow! Thank you Doctor.
I love soy milk and so do my kids.
We'll start making sure the rice we eat is brown rice imported from India too!
These videos are so helpful and important... thank you so much.
POTATO MILK?! Why has nobody told me about that before?!!
Phil Adams it's the first time I hear about too lol 😅
Growing Vegan thank you for the info! good to know(to not try it 😜)😁
Phil Adams because barf 🤢
Most of these plants milks are a total rips off when it comes to cost. Just blend some of your favorite base(almonds/rice/soy) with some water and add a sweetener. (I just use water cos I'm lazy...)
Maybe don't use rice since that is what this video warns about?
Just recently found out that I'm allergic to almonds and soy. I had been drinking coconut milk until Dr. Greger's video on its effects on cholesterol (and I'm trying to lower mine).

So which milk is the most optimal and beneficial?
Very informative. What about arsenic in Asian rice noodles?
Oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, all delicious
Thank you for all your videos. I've been making progress as far healthy eating. I still eat meat and dairy on a rare occasion, but most of my calories come from whole foods like rice beans sweet potatoes and veggies.
What about brown rice protein?
....greaaaatt the only milk i've liked since getting off dairy and its still bad for me.....
Sushi made with millet isn't as bad as I thought! :D To be honest it's pretty good is as cheap as brown rice and hopefully less toxic! :D
can you talk about brown rice bran and germ? that stuff is delicious, but I imagine it has high arsenic content since it's removal is what lowers the amount in white rice.

Hi Dr Gregor, just wondering if you can touch upon why Adrenal Fatigue is not considered a valid condition in the medical community? what are your views on it and how can we treat fatigue?
The gluten free people are screwed.
saintⓋearth I know! I'm irritated now because I never really ate rice until all these holistic nutritionists made me fear gluten and I started to eat rice pasta, rice crackers, rice cereal and rice cakes.
muh blood-brain barrier
Gluten is healthy!
patty 8873 You should check out Dr. Greger's stuff on gluten. Unless you have Celiac's there no reason to avoid it!
cmon 1% of the population has celiac disease, meaning they have to care about gluten. 99% don't have to care, but "gluten free" sticker producers want these 99% to care! Cmon, don't be fooled, you have to be smarter than that...

Hemp milk looks like a good option now
What about tempeh that has brown rice in the ingredients (I use LightLife brand)
Soul in the Raw depends where your tempeh is made from. Here, it's mostly imported from Asia. Asian rice contains way less arsenic ;).
I guess it's mostly America that's fucked. Sorry..
N. E I gotta check! Thanks

Potatoes????
Btw its really unhealthy to be so restricted food vice. Not just physically but also mentally. Its a obsession.
Certified Rice Milk addict! 🤙🏻
Brown or white rice
Coconut milk all day.
What healthy and easy to cook carbohydrates are left now? I was always under the impression that rice was the best but now rice is a bit toxic, wheat doesnt have nutrients, other stuff has pesticides and the more exotic ones are really expensive or take 45min+ to cook.
What about rice starch?
The problem, Dr. Gregor is that the studies didn't state where the rice that produced the high levels of arsenic were grown.

I'm pregnant and just finished drinking rice milk I TH-camd rice milk to see how its made and this comes out 😶😐
Hello Dr. Gregor. Could you please made a video based on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mantoux test? It's on the rise in Malaysia over here... P.S. I'm kinda 'trapped' in these condition... hopefully they won't force to take so much of allopathic drugs...
you have to ask on his website or on a Q&A
Nine vids in a row on arsenic
What about cashew milk? That's the one I use.
What about Dream Oganic rice milk?
Have there been any cases of people dying or becoming ill from arsenic poisoning (from dietary reasons, of course) recently?
What about all the gluten free breads, pizza and snacks that use brown rice flour as their ingredient?
Can't wait to hear how my potatoes, oats, beans, lentils, and wheat are killing me, too. Went vegan for health and ethics... ended up poisoning myself. Fun times.
Lol would you rather not know about these things? moron
Adam well... You are avoiding lots of other bioaccumulated crap by being vegan so it's ok.
The point of this video is to make you aware, not scare you. Just buy asian rice, patatoes, quinoa, amaranth, sweet patatoes, beans etc etc. In today's world, avoiding all poisonous shit in food is impossible. You do the best you can.
rice got the arsenic from chicken fyi, so you'd be even worse off eating animals. plants in general reverse disease while animal food causes disease.
How to make healthy baby food, is the question. Make sweet potato formula?
I'm so confounded as to why the literature hasn't revealed that soy actually must somehow create hormonal abnormalities in men in large quantities. It's said that only one older man was found to have ED but when I was drinking lots of soy milk and lots of soy protein powder it was the first and only time I ever experienced ED in my life. When I quit the ED disappeared. A friend as well grew man boobs drinking too much soy. We're only two anecdotal cases but I just have a strong sense that there is a link despite the literature. My guess is that there is something hormonally disrupting in soy protein isolates and not whole soy though the research refutes it. Maybe It's only our unique biochemistries that didn't do well with it. Personally I'll stick with almond, oat or cashew milk regardless.
That is very frightening about brown rice syrup
Ikr? I just bought more of it too.
I know! I was mentally trying to recall how much of the jar I have in the pantry was left to decide if I shouldn't just wash it down the drain, LOL!
Ok -- we get it. Rice has arsenic. Anything made with rice has arsenic.
Well, I guess I can expect cancer soon since I consume about 1 tbsp of brown rice syrup daily. Oh well. When I find that I have only a few months to live I can go into a supermarket and pick out all of those things I've been avoiding to live healthy and dig in.
gdcat777 the vegan diet is proven to aid the immune system to combat new cancer cells and impair cancer growth. So I think where fine. Just don't consume more than your body can fight lmao
Rice milk is very healthy
Honestly, this is all really disheartening. Rice has been a staple for me since transitioning to a WFPBD, and rice milk has been our go to substitute for the few things we need a milk substitute for. It doesn't have the weird aftertaste of other plant based milks. Also, people have severe allergies to soy. In addition, such exotic things a potato milk are not widely available. I'm lucky we have an alternative to soy milk here. This whole arsenic series has really taken the wind out of my sails. 😔
Good thing rice drink is more expensive here....
I've noticed the you reference Consumer Reports these days. In years past, the magazine left health matters to their "expert" panel (a group of dumb MD's), and I frequently chided them for the practice. Recently, though, they have found other sources for information, and seem to be providing better guidance.
What is arsenic
What about rice protein powder!?! I eat a couple of tablespoons daily :(
Hello Dr. Gregor. Could you please make a video based on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) and Mantoux test (Tuberculosis Sensitivity Treatment, TST)? Any chance that 1st Mantoux test provoke the 2nd Mantoux test to be false positive? Let's say all the so-called conventional treatment (allopathic medication) has been done and to be believed that all the MTb die, will I get the 3rd Mantoux positive again? Tuberculosis is on the rise in Malaysia... P.S. I'm kinda stuck in this bullshit condition...
potato milk? somehow i had never heard of that before lol
Why doesn't Coconut milk get any love in the videos? You mentioned it a total of once in the past several arsenic/milk videos.
High saturated fat content.
Living Lifeform so what's worse? Arsenic or saturated fat?
The best will always be none, I.E soy or oat milk.
Now the alternatives are bad as well! 😩
Sh#% I just went to the market and bought brown rice and almond milk.
dang, had for 2 years 1/2 Litre of rice milk every day.
its fine, your body gets rid of it very fast
Mhm... maybe better switch from my favorite rice milk to a tasty brand of soy milk or maybe even almond milk... can afford it now after all. I can live without the rice milk.
So I can't eat rice now 🤔😞
Yu mean brown rice
3:44 wow I guess people are not meant to ear cereal, bc all kinds of milk are apparently bad for you

So yeah, eat whole foods, the rest of the arsenic scare doesn't measure up to long term population studies.
I thought soy spiked igf-1
yey to soy milk!
GREGER IS A SHILL FOR BIG SOY! say meater trolls in the comments[I'm guessing] TFP, NF!
I eat my oats with soy milk. :D
Just sticking with regular white rice.. no "healthy" alternatives
Just get rice from arsenic-unpolluted areas (India, California, etc) as he said, and you're fine. It's harder to know or control where the rice is from with pre-made rice-crispies or rice crispies treats, rice milk etc.
enough with this WarOnRice!
I'm glad I'm a potato man!
Marry me Dr. Greger 💍
I'm tired of the topic of arsenic.
Yeah, I've heard and seen more than enough now, it was already clear after the first few videos. It just keeps going on and on. Just avoid rice when we can, until arsenic-free rice becomes available. C'est tout.
Vladimir Yuvachov Exactly!
Not to say I don't appreciate all the information presented - maybe it would have been better to simply have less videos that have more information.
Vladimir Yuvachov Or --- space it out a bit more. Instead of back-to-back-to-back videos on it.
Cool Breeze I don't think he's an extremist. I just think he has saturated his viewers with the same topic for too long.
😢😢😭😭😭😭😭
Rice is shitty and boring anyways, There are so many better starch options out there...
no
This video is all over the place. I love your videos but this one was not thought out the best. Only feeding an infant ANY kind of milk that isn't breast milk will end up in deficiencies.

first

I'm vegan as well, but I won't close my eyes for the fact that not all plant products are good for you, whether they are naturally not good for us (like poisonous plants, or coconut milk for that matter) or whether they have become toxic through human intervention (like the arsenic in rice).
I feel like you are subtly insinuating that we should refrain from making any videos criticizing anything that is vegan, and that is a very counterproductive stance to have. It will only push people away from veganism by making them feel like vegans are all idiots looking to confirm what they want to hear - Which is unnecessary because veganism is an incredibly rational choice. There isn't anything to hide.
Besides, there's plenty of equally inexpensive alternatives to rice. What's the problem here?
Maybe because that topic has been covered to death, and people who heed his advice and adopt a whole foods plant based diet would be likely to increase their rice consumption.
The channel is Nutrition Facts. He covers all kinds of nutrition topics. Do you really want video after video bashing animal products and nothing else?
Why do you promote soy milk without mentioning that most soy is gmo?
What about coconut milk, cashew milk, etc. ?

Silk brand, one of (if not the) most popular soy milk brands, is non-GMO cert.
If you're that concerned, just make the soymilk yourself
because soy milk isn't gmo ?!?!
Nearly 100% of Soy milk and tofu is non-GMO. Personally, I've never see GMO soy milk, tofu or tempeh. Wouldn't be surprised if it no longer exists.
Almost all gmo soy is fed to livestock.
In my country there is also cheap organic soy milk. Think the gmo problem is getting killed on soy.
Hmm, this is getting to manipulative for me - so rice milk is not nutritious……… because of one case study. But then you give no comparison with another case - only soy milk, only cashew milk diet etc. How is this accurate? Where is the context? There is similar cherry picking to calorie restriction vegan diet from which people have severe health problems and claim veganism to be bad, but the real cause was calorie restriction whatever on traditional, vegan or other diets - you will always getting problems.
And you say rice milk have not so many calories, but in the table you showed soy milk had less or equal calories to rice, in fact oat milk the same, hemp - less. wtf? We are not blind or dumb!
If this is for vegan activism - it has a poor design which throw a negative shadow to all "pro vegan" science findings, if this is for science - it is manipulative and not correct.
I was going to share this, but you promoting GMO soy milk is just as bad. Also, men should be be drinking any soy. Soy does not prevent cancer, but causes it.
Really? Here in East Asia everyone drinks soymilk, all the time. No sign of cancer epidemic..
