According to Natural News, both Garden
of Life and Sunwarrior joined an unprecedented agreement to achieve specific
heavy metal limits in their protein products by July 1, 2015. Boku Superfood
immediately signed on to the agreement after it was first announced.
Mike Adams, editor of NaturalNews.com
and the lead researcher who originally identified tungsten in brown rice
protein products, explains that the majority of brown rice proteins tested in
the Forensic Food Lab showed levels of tungsten, an industrial heavy metal
that's just now getting noticed in the food industry.
The agreement is the first ever
voluntary heavy metals limit ever achieved in the natural products industry.
"This marks a milestone for food safety and protections for
consumers," said Adams, who led the agreement discussions.
The agreement limits heavy metals
in protein products to:
·
Lead limit: 250 ppb
·
Tungsten limit: 50 ppb
·
Cadmium limit: 1000 ppb
·
Mercury limit: 50 ppb
Many protein products currently
sold in the USA vastly exceed these limits. Adams is now urging all rice
protein manufacturers across the United States to join the agreement already
signed onto by Garden of Life and Sunwarrior. VEGA, Jarrow Formulas,
Nutribiotic, Living Fuel, Nutribody Protein, Ultimate Superfood and Healthforce
Warrior Food are specifically invited to join the industry accord in the
interests of public trust and food safety.

A scientific study conducted at
the nonprofit Consumer Wellness Center has found that popular breakfast cereals
such as Corn Flakes, Kix, Uncle Sam, Raisin Bran and Honey Bunches of Oats are
relatively free of toxic heavy metals. These cereal products are made by
companies like Kellogg's, General Mills, Post and Nature's Path. Conducted by
food scientist and lab director Mike Adams, the study was based on atomic
spectroscopy analysis using ICP-MS instrumentation to test for aluminum,
mercury, arsenic, lead and cadmium. The announcement is posted at ConsumerWellness.org.
The study is part of a joint effort
between the Consumer Wellness Center and Natural News to openly publish
heavy metals test results for popular foods, groceries, herbs and dietary
supplements.
"These findings indicate
that popular cereals tested demonstrate remarkably low levels of toxic heavy
metals in their composition," explained lead scientist Mike Adams.
"The concentration of metals detected in these cereals was consistently
lower than what we are finding in herbs, superfoods or even many types of fresh
produce."
