Brown Rice Has More Arsenic – But It’s Still Worth Eating

Agriculture, Food, Healthcare /

A recent study in the US confirms that brown rice has higher levels of arsenic compared to white rice. Understandably, this might raise some eyebrows — arsenic is a well-known toxic element. However, the concentrations found in brown rice are far below any threshold that would pose a danger to human health. And just like

The World’s Oldest Skin Discovered in an Exceptionally Rare Fossil find.

Ecology, History, Science, Social /

Scientists have found the oldest skin fossils, which are from a time long before dinosaurs existed. These samples, discovered in a cave in Oklahoma, show that reptile scales have barely changed in 286 million years. Most fossils in museums are bones because bones take a long time to decompose, giving them more time to fossilize.
