Chicken Laced With Arsenic

by admin on May 17, 2013

Chicken Study 

2010 and 2011, researchers collected chicken samples from grocers in ten major cities in the United States. Some of these samples were conventional chicken, some were antibiotic-free chicken, and some were USDA Certified Organic chicken.

During the research period, the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer was making and selling an arsenic-based drug, known as roxarsone, which was commonly mixed with poultry feed.

When the results of the study came in, not only did researchers find inorganic arsenic in some of the meat samples, but also traces of roxarsone. Chicken that had residual roxarsone also had levels of inorganic arsenic that was four times higher than levels found in the USDA Organic chicken samples.

Would this make folks sick????
