Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Can anyone here tell me if this is true and if it is in amounts that are dangerous? When we use almond flour as our main ingredient for baking I would think this could be serious? Is it possible that other nut flours should be used more in place of the almond?

Elaine wrote it previously: The compound, amygdalin, found in Laetrile is also found in some nuts, particularly almonds and, as you can see, was considered by Dr. Warburg as an essential vitamin - B17. Almonds do contain amygdalin and they were not originally used because of this. However, I am very careful about such things and advise that we do not use almond milk if people are eating over 3-4 muffins per day. I have no mathematical data on amygdalin and how much is too much but I like to play it safe. " Carol F. SCD 6 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you still be eating chicken? Eating Chicken May Boost Arsenic Exposure Study suggests need to reconsider safe levels By Pallarito HealthDay Reporter MONDAY, Jan. 19 (HealthDayNews) -- Indulging in your favorite chicken dish may expose you to higher levels of arsenic than you think, government researchers say. Arsenic levels in young chickens, or " broilers, " may be three to four times greater than in other poultry and meat, they report in the January issue of Environmental Health Perspectives . While the amount of arsenic people ingest by eating chicken appears to be well below tolerable daily intake levels, it is higher than previously recognized and may require government agencies to reassess total arsenic exposure, the authors conclude. The study is the first to assess average levels of arsenic in chicken and then calculate how much of the substance people are ingesting when they consume different amounts of chicken. Arsenic is an approved feed supplement that farmers use to control intestinal parasites in chickens, particularly young chickens. Carol F.
