Knock yourself out. I got better things to do.
In other words, I'm taking my ball and going home.
And shannow, arsenic? Really. Now you are grasping at (even thinner) straws. Could be is the phrasing used in the studies. Dosage is in the 15microgram/day range for a max exposure . Exposure through food consumption already delivers that amount.
Quote:
Dietary requirements for arsenic in humans are still controversial. There are trace amounts of arsenic in almost all food and water, air and soil, so it is difficult to find humans who are isolated from all sources of arsenic. There are no known human health effects of arsenic deficiency, if such exist, and the effects observed in arsenic-deficient animals would be hard to detect and characterize in humans. Most investigators believe that it is likely that we receive all the arsenic we need from a normal diet, and there is currently no recommendation for a daily dietary intake for humans.
