This just came up in conversation. In case you're not aware of it, there's a problem with arsenic in rice, and using a rice cooker isn't good enough nowadays. Making rice has become a little tedious if you want it to be safe, but there it is.

Here's an article from what should be a trustworthy source that discusses the issue and tells you how to reduce the arsenic content in your rice:

Glencore (Fonderie Horne) a encore réussi à faire fléchir la CrAQ et Le Maire de Rouyn-Noranda...
Toujours des menaces et toujours du léchage de fessier en coulisse.....

Devant une foule de citoyens, le conseil municipal de Rouyn-Noranda s'est rangé en faveur de la proposition du gouvernement du Québec d'accorder à Glencore sept ans de prévisibilité réglementaire et 18 mois supplémentaires pour abaisser ses émissions à 15 nanogrammes d’arsenic par mètre cube d’air (ng/m3) en échange d'investissements dans la Fonderie.

Si ces paramètres sont officialisés dans le cadre d’une entente entre Québec et Glencore, l’atteinte de la cible de 15 ng/m3 serait repoussée à 2030, a confirmé le maire de Rouyn-Noranda, Gilles Chapadeau.

Ce seuil demeurerait ensuite en place jusqu’en 2033, dans 7 ans.

Arsenic cycle (Biogeochemical cycle 🔄)

The arsenic cycle is the biogeochemical cycle of natural and anthropogenic exchanges of arsenic terms through the atmosphere, lithosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Although arsenic is naturally abundant in the Earth's crust, long-term exposure and high concentrations of arsenic can be detrimental to human health.

Today, one would advice, that a lot of the mentioned ingredients of these colors were or are toxic (hello #arsenic books!).
Arsenic was mined near my home at Devon great consols began refining arsenic in 1867 and was considered to be its largest producer in the 19th century. My suspected poison books are locked in a bag and I only handle them wearing specialist gloves.

Les 2/3 tiers des masques en #argile sont contaminés au #plomb et à l' #arsenic

50% sont contaminés à l' #antimoine D'autres au #cadmium.

-> les cosmétiques 'réservés aux professionnels' sont plus risqués. Les consommateurs les imaginent plus 'efficaces'.
