Pearls of Wisdom

The people who ate a gluten free diet were tested for levels of arsenic and mercury. Because many of the gluten free products use rice flour. Previous studies have found a link between toxic metals and rice flour via fertilizers, soil and water. Researchers found the gluten free group had twice the levels of arsenic and 70% higher levels of mercury compared to the non-gluten free diet people.
