"While tocotri-enols are found in rice oil or palm oil; it is easiest to take them as a supplement. Magnesium is in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains: However, due to the farming methods that now predominate, many soils are lacking in magnesium. This leads to lower levels in fresh food than what was historically available. Magnesium is also the mineral most easily lost by stress. Few Americans get the advised daily requirement of 400 milligrams, an amount that is probably not adequate for people under high stress or who exercise often (magnesium is lost in sweat)." - Byron J.

"In 1968 an outbreak of human pcb poisoning occurred in Yusho, Japan, after 1,000 people ingested contaminated rice oil. Follow-up studies on the children who were born to the mothers at the highest levels of exposure showed lack of physical coordination, apathy, and iqs averaging around 70. Eleven years later, a mechanical accident in Yu-Cheng, Taiwan, also leaked pcbs into rice oil. Some 2,000 people were poisoned after eating the rice oil and suffered from stomach pain and horrifying skin eruptions." - D. Lindsey Berkson, Hormone Deception (Get the book.) "ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURES 1968, pcb poisoning in Yusho, Japan, after 1,000 people ingested contaminated rice oil.

The offspring of exposed mothers exhibited very similar learning problems to those seen in the Jacobson study." - D. Lindsey Berkson, Hormone Deception (Get the book.) "Eleven years later, a mechanical accident in Yu-Cheng, Taiwan, also leaked pcbs into rice oil. Some 2,000 people were poisoned after eating the rice oil and suffered from stomach pain and horrifying skin eruptions. The offspring of the pcb-exposed Yu-Cheng mothers exhibited very similar learning problems to those seen in the Jacobson study. They were also developmentally delayed and had an iq deficit. The boys did not mature normally at puberty and had smaller-than-normal penises. There was a higher incidence of behavioral problems that did not go away as the children aged." - D.

"In addition to its healthy fiber constituents, rice bran and rice oil have gamma-oryzanol, a compound that not only lowers cholesterol but exerts growth-promoting properties as well. Since brown rice contains rice bran and gamma-oryzanol, it likely possesses a cholesterol-lowering effect. HOW TO SELECT AND STORE You can buy rice in packages or as a bulk product. Since its natural oils do spoil over time, check the freshness date on prepackaged rice. When buying in bulk, go to a store with a high turnover rate and be sure the bins are properly covered." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)
