Did they also test for other heavy metals including arsenic? Arsenic gets incorporated into the cell structure of rice for instance.
Apparently sulfur in onions, garlic, etc helps remove arsenic. Does anything help remove lead?

I can't share the details on how @michaelgwaltz & @SecRubio have, in just a few days, organized the greatest opposition to UN policy since the Cold War and blocked this UN Carbon Tax.
I can say it was a knife fight to the end.
"I've been in this industry for 30 years and I've never seen anything like it," one shipping executive told me today. "You just don't say NO to these guys.
It's unheard of."
It's unclear who "these guys" are, but I suspect the European families with shipping investments and net wealth that far exceeds Elon's.
Absolutely none of the maritime experts I interviewed early this week thought the US could pull this off. Zero. Massive amounts of money, NGO influence, diplomatic threat and media manipulation were behind this… and the American media (except @Captain and Fox News) was dead silent.
And yet Trump did it.
"That Trump Truth Social post sent shockwaves through the building," one
UN delegate in London told me. "NOBODY expected it. The Secretary General @IMOSecGen looked like a deer in the headlights this morning."
Incredible. Simply incredible work by team Trump and a massive blow to the European deep state who planned to use this tax as a slush fund to plug holes in US Aid funding for globalist NGOs.
Promises made. Promises kept!
