Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 & ALL, Recently, Mcs has announced that they will be forbiding their suppliers of chicken to use any arsenic additive in their chickens' feed. However, in spite of their recent ads claiming all natural feed, Perdue has NOT announced that it was stopping the use of arsenic additives in its chicken feed. Moreover, as others have said, you may need to be careful with some of the " organic " and Amish chicken producers as they may also be using feed containing an arsenic-based additive (usually Roxarsone; 28.48% arsenic by weight). Thus, would suggest that all ask their poultry suppliers to certify in writing that the chickens and turkeys they sell were NOT ANY fed any feed that contained Roxarsone or any other arsenic-containing compound (or any gluten component that contained the adulterant Melamine) and only purchase poultry from a supplier who can so certify the feed they feed their poultry. If consumers start rejecting poultry fed arsenic, then sellers will have a good reason to stop using arsenials in the feed they feed their poultry. Respectfully, Dr. King http://www.dr-king.com PS: To all the farmers and ranchers out there, you all might want to buy feed or crop-enrichment fertilizer that is certified to be free of any poultry-derived protein or waste to protect your business, land, and your families. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At 21:46 5/15/07 -0000, McDonough wrote: > >Just an FYI... > >We had a wonderful speaker at the NAA >Chicago Metro meeting this month, >Amy Wieder, mom of 2 kids on the >spectrum (doing great with biomed) and >a practicing nutritional consultant. > >She told us about the Arsenic in >chicken.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks, Dr. King. This is good to know. I have also read that the concentration of arsenic is higher in the skin and fat than it is in the leaner meat. I don't know how factual this is, but I have heard this from more than one source. > > > >Just an FYI... > > > >We had a wonderful speaker at the NAA > >Chicago Metro meeting this month, > >Amy Wieder, mom of 2 kids on the > >spectrum (doing great with biomed) and > >a practicing nutritional consultant. > > > >She told us about the Arsenic in > >chicken.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 One of the best books out there on food and the selling of the organic soul in America, GM foods, following our food from farm (industrial or otherwise)to table. " The Omnivores Dilemna " by Pollan. It's one of the best books I have read on the subject and has helped me make decisions about where I get my food, even so- called 'organic'and whole foods. I strongly recomend it.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 The single most significant source of arsenic in children will probably NOT be chicken, but the landscaping timbers and treated lumber that we use in our yards, and to build our decks and playground equipment out of. For decades this wood was treated with salts of arsenic to keep bugs from eating them up, and this begins to " sweat " out of the wood as the lumber sits in te summer sun. Then children with crawl on it, getting it on their hands, which then go into their mouths. The Feds have recently ended the use of arsenic in wood preservation with the exception of bridge timbers, replacing it with CCA, a copper chromate compound (which may actually be as bad, time will tell). The moratorium on arsenic in lumber was NOT done because our kids are showing high levels, it was done because the leaching process allows it to get into the water supplies and municipalities were spending too much money cleaning it out of the drinking water.
