New Head and Neck Surgery Study Findings Recently Were Reported by Researchers at San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium (Arsenic In Rice: a Call To Change Feeding Substitution Practices for Pediatric Otolaryngology Patients).

Researchers at the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium have highlighted the presence of unsafe levels of inorganic arsenic in rice products commonly used in pediatric diets. This exposure to arsenic poses serious health risks, especially for smaller children, and alternative thickeners like wheat or oatmeal are recommended. The study aims to raise awareness within the medical community about safer feeding practices for pediatric otolaryngology patients. The research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into the potential health implications of using rice in pediatric diets. [Extracted from the article]
