I’m unmoved by that article. As mentioned previously, damn near everything you eat or drink has trace levels of contaminants in it. The fact that they were able to identify some isn’t remarkable. How much did they find, and did it exceed the FDA limits for those metals? For example, the general FDA limit for Arsenic is 100 parts per billion. Did the cookies exceed that? Who knows, the article didn’t bother to say. In case you are thinking, “well I don’t want any arsenic!” Good luck with that. I hope you don’t like rice crispys because the last food survey the FDA published had levels from 8.9 on up to 103ppb. Even just drinking water is going to give you trace amounts of arsenic. Bottled water producers actually have to check the arsenic levels of their sources regularly to make sure their mountain fresh spring water’s natural variance doesn’t squirt out too much arsenic. Human bodies have been dealing with some amount of heavy metals in their diet pretty much forever. The fact that they exist in food isn’t a problem. It is only when they get too concentrated that it becomes dangerous, and this article doesn’t give any idea how concentrated anything was in the cookies. Until I see that, I’m going to keep eating my overpriced cookies and die from diabetes like a normal person! - Bret | |||

God bless the Girl Scouts and I thank them for those cookies… | |||

Eating the amount of cookies necessary for trace elements to become an issue is likely to harm you far more and far sooner than those trace elements. Just more bottom of barrel jokers with bar cards looking for a payout. | |||

So do they think the Girl Scouts should go back to selling... live chickens? | |||

If one is adverse to the $6/box or whatever it is, I would humbly point out that Dollar Tree sells at least 3 of their cookies in the house brand. I’ve never had them side by side, by they seem extremely close. Chocolate mint Chocolate PB filled (the cookie of the gods) And sometimes the “Samoas”? I think that is the name… or close to it. | |||

How about other nasty chemicals such as C12H22O11, or even worse: NaCl—sodium and chlorine‽ Both of those will kill you. ► 6.0/94.0 “‘The Lord's our shepherd,’ says the psalm, but just in case, we better get a bomb!” Who’s Next?, Tom Lehrer | |||

So, sell alcohol? Maybe set up a little Tiki Bar next to the cookie card table outside the Kroger? The housewives would love it. . . | |||

Yeah but what about other aircraft like zeppelins? | |||

"Loaded with" is not a accurate measure of the actual amount of any element contained in anything depending on the size of the sample vs the size of item sampled.... Parts per million in 1 serving etc. ....Will continue to eat my Girl Scout cookies if I can afford them. ........................................... drill sgt. | |||

I think the quality (and definitely the quantity!) of Girl Scout cookies has really diminished. They taste like chemicals to me. Like guns, Love Sigs | |||

Wouldn't the testing be more valid if cookies from other manufacturers were also tested? If the response is that these metals are common in the food chain... | |||

That wouldn't help support their basis for this lawsuit. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.
