Can eating rice increase the risk of cancer? That question arises from three sets of findings that report elevated arsenic levels in rice and products such as rice bran and rice crackers.

Baby rice, the bland porridge sold in supermarkets for weaning infants, can contain potentially dangerous levels of arsenic, according to new research done in the United Kingdom. The discovery calls for more attention to food-production sources, the authors say, but experts are divided on the value of the study. Some thinks it should highlight the need for the European Union and the United States to restrict arsenic in food as well as water. The other advise that it should be careful before telling people to throw their rice out.
An Environmental Contaminant Invades the Womb

Arsenic is poised to become even more notorious. Scientists have found that if a pregnant woman is exposed, the deadly contaminant can alter the activity of several genes in her fetus, potentially increasing the child's risk of cancer later in life. The find puts new urgency on keeping arsenic out of expectant mothers' drinking water.
Arsenic hyperaccumulating fern deters grasshoppers

This news articles discusses recent research at the University of Florida on an arsenic hyperaccumulating fern. The fern Pteris vittata's fronds accumulate arsenic and this deterred grasshoppers from feeding.
Polymorphisms in XPD (Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln) genes, sunburn and arsenic related skin lesions

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes related to DNA repair capacity and UV exposure have not been well investigated in relation to skin lesions associated with arsenic exposure. This population based case-control study, of 600 cases and 600 controls, frequency matched on age and gender in Pabna, Bangladesh in 2001-2002, investigated the association and potential effect modification between polymorphisms in XPD (Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn) genes, tendency to sunburn and arsenic related skin lesions
Arsenic hazards: strategies for tolerance and remediation by plants
badboy submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (www.sciencedirect.com)
"Arsenic toxicity has become a global concern owing to the ever-increasing contamination of water, soil and crops in many regions of the world. To limit the detrimental impact of arsenic compounds, efficient strategies such as phytoremediation are required. Suitable plants include arsenic hyperaccumulating ferns and aquatic plants that are capable of completing their life cycle in the presence of high levels of arsenic through the concerted action of arsenate reduction to arsenite, arsenite complexation, and vacuolar compartmentalization of complexed or inorganic arsenic.

Diet and Cancer: Rich French food may have killed Napoleon
captainclaw submitted, created time 1 year 9 months (www.abc.net.au)
A scientific study has cleared the British of murdering Napoleon, declaring instead that he was killed by stomach cancer, and French military food was a possible cause.
The paper, by Robert Genta, a professor of pathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, goes further. It delves into Napoleon's medical history, his family background and his diet.
Nearly 186 years after Napoleon's death, we still believe the enduring myth in France that the British poisoned Napoleon while he was exiled on the island of St Helena, wherehe died in 1821 at the age of 51
