If you take it, make sure that it is organic. Non-organic Rice has lots of Arsenic.

Quote from that site-
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1. Many brands of soy and rice milk contain polyunsaturated vegetable oils which can contribute to an imbalance of essential fatty acids in your body. As harmless as this might sound, I am convinced that a chronic imbalance of essential fatty acids caused by regular consumption of polyunsaturated vegetable oils is a major cause of cardiovascular disease. Polyunsaturated fats that contribute to this harmful imbalance are found in safflower, corn, soybean, sunflower, and cottonseed oils. I recommend that you stay away from these oils completely.[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2. Some brands of soy and rice milk contain rice syrup, evaporated cane juice, or some other natural sweetener. Natural or not, most sweeteners put significant stress on your pancreas and liver. They also raise your insulin levels, which significantly increases your risk of suffering from unhealthy weight gain, high blood pressure, heart disease, premature aging, and several other negative side effects.[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3. While fermented forms of soy like miso, tempeh, and natto can be healthy choices for some people, non-fermented soy products can cause a variety of health problems if consumed in large quantities on a regular basis. I will discuss the details of when soy can be good and when it can be bad in a future newsletter.[/font]

All of that makes sense, but the brand I like doesnt have any sweetner in it, and the fat comes from safflower oil.(2grams of monounsatured) I dont drink soymilk either, I stay away from soy. Thanks though, good read.

Maze-Everything I eat iis organic. Not only is it healthier I think it tastes better too.
