Arsenic in rice milk
What are your thoughts on this? Research that I'm not going to bother linking suggests up to 30 ppb even from the "purest" organic sources. This would be 3x the MCL in drinking water. Not really concerned about adults (MCL is based off the assumption of 2 L consumed daily), but could be significant in children.

Water question
I struggle with water. Don't ask why - I just don't like plain water. So I mix in Kool Aid (35 cals) or Propel (0 cals) so that I will drink more. I started that last month. I went from literally drinking no water to drinking 4, 16.9 ounce bottles a day. But that water always has added flavorings. So my question: can I…
