This article is about the newly found levels of arsenic in chickens. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University said they found levels of arsenic in chicken that exceeded amounts that occur naturally, and warned that they could lead to a small increase in the risk of cancer for consumers over a lifetime. They said that the levels were low but they could still be effecting us by increasing our risk of disease and our own levels of arsenic in our bodies. They have found the source in the water they give to the chickens. This problem has been recently discover in rice as well.
