Healthy Sweetener? Not So fast

"Baby formula, cereal bars, and energy drinks that are
sweetened with organic brown rice syrup may be
contaminated with arsenic. Researchers at Dartmouth
University found arsenic concentrations of six times
the government's safe levels in one infant formula, as
well as various amounts in other products. Take-home
message: Don't take home any product that lists "rice
syrup" among the ingredients."
