Arsenic is a carcinogen that can cause heart disease and cancer if one is exposed to high levels of it. Researchers found arsenic in some organic baby formulas. Infants are more vulnerable to arsenic’s negative side effects due to their small size. Children exposed to too much arsenic can develop poorer intellectual functions and lower IQs.

Other food products found to contain arsenic included cereal bars and energy shot drinks. The researchers believe that occasionally eating food with organic brown syrup won’t cause any harm, but the frequency should be monitored.
