>>. >> kelly: time for sunday house calls. joining us is david samati, chief of robotics. >> and. >> jamie: and author of unlocking the secret of sickness and health. this is great house call today. start wag topic that really took my breath away. a lot of people like rice. they found arsenic and rice and

doctors are concerned about and they want you to know about it. dr. samati. arsenic? >> it is serious. this was big news this week. consumer report announced they looked at 200 products, rice and related and rice cakes. what they found the amount of arsenic in these products is worrisome. you have to be careful. >> jamie: what is arsenic? >> that is natural element we find in soil and water. and it's being produced and has arsenic and goes into our system. for the most part, fda came back and we agree with what they found and that is why wear having this discussion. big concern is for the parents and for their children. in children, arsenic toxin toxicity can cause their i.q.

and affect their memory. in adults we know dealing with cancer arsenic can lead to bladder cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer. there is standard that the fda has put in for water but we don't have anything like that for the food. >> jamie: can you eat rice safely? >> i read a book on fear, i think you can eat rice safely. the amount of arsenic to poison you is about hundred thousand times is what we're talking about here. david is raising a good point. one of the reasons, arsenic in the water that gets into rice, rice loves arsenic. it picks it up out of the soil. organic you get out your system but with chemicals that are in environment we are seeing more inorganic arsenic and that can lead to cancer. there is some risks, formula

that has a lot of rice. >> jamie: that is the first thing, cereal based on rice. >> fda needs a standard. how much is too much. they are looking for information. they wanted more studies. in the meantime, we need a standard for our kids out there to know how much is too much. many cultures eat a lot of rice. i'm also worried about the sugar and carbohydrates. i said about apple juice, i'm worried about sugar in apple juice. than this, on this program we have said for years, that brown rice is very healthy for you. guess what? brown rice has more arsenic than white rice because it has a shell. so you talk about our culture, you have to know how to take care of the rice and how to cook

it. the way you do this. my mom and my wife, the way they do they wash it well. they put it in a real boiling water. that gets rid of most of the arsenic and third time they cook it. moderation is the way to go. one portion of this can increase arsenic level to 40%. two portions a day can increase it to 70%. i think there is a serious problem, but my advice to a lot of parents for the kids. i would -- i no, it's radical -- stop any rice product for your children until ada will come up with a real recommendation. >> jamie: any test for the child? >> you can get a urine test or blood test. for longer exposure you have to check your hair or nails. >> one more quick thing. there are standards for water. state of new jersey says five

micrograms per liter. >> kelly: thanks for the cooking tip, as well. move to another topic, there are 37 million people suffering from hearing loss. there is new research there is promise with stem cells to perhaps treat or find some sort of way of arresting that hearing problem? >> it came out of the united kingdom and didn't check those gerbals but they found a dramatic impact on what we call the cochlea of the ear. snail shaped thing in the ear. it has hairs on the inside and nerves come right in there. they found they were able to regenerate both the hairs and nerves to the point where they were then testing them and able to hear better. you are talking about 37 million people in the united states with hearing loss. 90% of them have this kind of problem.

good news about the fda. fda is working on a study of human infants now to see whether by using umbilical core blood, it would have affect. it's nice but we are now doing it humans. >> kelly: what kind of promise is it and how soon will it get into the mainstream? >> i do want to do with aging. us a age you get more of this hearing loss. sometimes medications do it and sometimes trauma to the ear but as you age, that is the key population. >> kelly: is there a way to prevent this if you get constant testing. >> hearing loss and numbers have been going up. i'm a little concerned about some of this research. we talk about this but by the time they come to the clinical, with the way of the research funding it may or may not be

reality. your thoughts about prevention, look at the young generation, ipod in their head. you can hear the music from a mile away. if you under how the mechanism the sound hits the eardrum and makes those hairs and nerves active. that is how it goes to the brain. if you understand that, then you are not going to blast that because it's going to damage the hair cells of those nerves. you should see your doctor every two or three years. get tested because you may have simple earwax. you may have an infection or may have diabetic or smoking habit that affects it. >> kelly: i'm glad you brought up this issue about kids blasting that ears because i have such kids. once those are damaged, short of this kind of thing it doesn't

come back. >> kelly: so people should do the right thing and prevent hearing loss to begin with. >> how about talking to each other. get the thing out of your ear. >> jamie: good warning for parents. if you want to hear later on in life turn the volume down. from organic, to omega 3 fortified, there are more choices when it comes to milk. which one is right for you? sunday house calls with all you need to know about your health. at usaa, we believe honor is not exclusive to the military, and commitment is not limited to one's military oath. the same set of values that drive our nation's military are the ones we used to build usaa bank. with our award winning apps that allow you to transfer funds, pay bills or manage your finances anywhere, anytime. so that wherever your duty takes you,

milk. which one should you pick. vitamin c-fortified? doctor? >> it depends what you wanted to get out of it. what kind of health issues, whether you have high cholesterol, are you taking these vitamins. based on that you can decide. it's confusing when you get in front of the milk, it's getting more confusing. my favorite one is organic because it doesn't have any kind of growth hormones but despite that there organic and inorgani. even if there is no major difference you will get some omega fat if i ti acids from each. >> jamie: there is price difference. >> you have to be thinking. the ultra pasteurized. the way they prepare the milk is different.

they are going to heat it up. if you are going to keep the milk for a month. >> kelly: even 60 days. >> fortified. that the ones they are vegetarians, maybe they are not getting enough vitamins. they may need vitamin a or c. ultimately the lactose intolerance. it's amazing how many different kinds of milks we have. a lot of people can't tolerate. >> jamie: some people don't drink milk for one reason or another? >> i want to start with that point. when i was growing up, we had a milk mustache and people drank a lot of milk. milk is on the decrease. we have to reexamine it. do we need the vitamin d or calcium that is in fortified milk. what kind of milk do we need? organic milks.

david was mentioning one of these studies, despite we are feeding growth hormones to the cows it's not clear how much is getting into the milk. i feel safe that organic milk has less of these additives and one study showed that it's higher in unsaturated fatsd, good kind the omega 3s. it's more expensive but what is good for one person is not necessarily good for another. some people like coconut milk. it has less cholesterol. >> jamie: what about soy? >> i think soy is great. soy is a flavor thing. some people don't like the after taste. >> you have to be careful with soy. it has a lot of unsaturated fats. >> a lot of sugar. >> the fact about coconut milk, is the fact you can increase

your hdl or good cholesterol which i was quite surprised. let's say you are not getting enough exercise and you need to increase cholesterol, coconut milk is the one you can use. >> jamie: coconut is very caloric. >> it's not as bad as some of the others. the other one is the lactose free. a lot of people have a problem with lactose. lactose milk may be for them. they may not know it. i have a diarrhea, it may be part of an irritable bowel syndrome but i try them on lactose milk. >> it may be not a true allergy. it may be gluten intolerance. you want to take sure you take it away and milk and see what they do. the options are tremendous. >> jamie: good advice. >> kelly: doctors, thank you. back to square one to try to

cure a bizarre disorder estimating million people. that when sunday house calls returns.

>>. >> kelly: welcome back. new research finding, no relationship between chronic

fatigue syndrome and a viruses that initially thought caused it. more than a million americans have chronic fatigue syndrome. how are people getting it and what is it? >> if you have fatigue that lasts more than six months according to the cdc, headaches, problem thinking clearly, many some lymph node swelling, joint aches, when people come to my office with severe fatigue my job is to rule out other things. could you have lyme disease, could you have thyroid disease. we talked about west nile virus recently. could you have that? could you have the flu. i have to make sure you don't have other things but i don't know about waiting for six months. people say, wait a minute, you ruled all these things out. what do i what do i do? a doctor up columbia who did

research who thought was associated with the virus. it's not this virus that people have been saying. >> kelly: what is the cause for it? >> we don't know the cause for it. we don't know if it's post viral but it is real thing. too many doctors are discounting it. >> kelly: he mentioned antibiotics and affect it could have on us. could that give rise to chronic fatigue syndrome? >> yes. big news about this is the fact that now we know this virus, retro virus could cause it is not really causing it. nobody knows the answer. some people think it could be hormonal, it could be thyroid, it could be your immune system. these are the patients are very unhappy. they go from doctor to doctor. the symptoms to have last six months. it's not like you are going to work out for a football game and you are tired.

they usually the fatigue doesn't go away with rest. they wake up in morning more tired than when they went to bed. its difficult and i feel bad for mark to have to diagnosis these patients but there are some things you can take to help you. for example, ginseng can boost your metabolism and energy level and can give you a push. one thing is l-arnitine is an herb that can bring the fatty acids to work and give you a boost of energy and you can get it on line. finally koq-10 boosts your energy. i am glad you are writing it down. >> but coq-10, my understanding it was for heart patients. >> people with very mild problems, exercise and cognitive
