Hold on

In your lead-in paragraph you say that the FDA is poised to do a U-turn, but after that all I read is that the FDA is doing due dilligance investigation. No talk about them lowering inorganic Arsenic levels or imposing total Arsenic limits... So what/where is the U-turn?

The Oz-testing still doesn't talk about ratios of organic and inorganic Arsenic in their total Arsenic levels.

I used to like Oz, but he's stepped across a professional boundery here and he is trying to make statements in an area that is well outside of his expertise. The man is an MD not a toxicologist
