Oatmeal does naturally contain a small amount of arsenic.

However the amount of arsenic in the oatmeal is so small that it really is no harm to your health because if it were then a lot of people would be sick from it.

People eat oatmeal everyday around the world and although the oatmeal contains a small amount of arsenic it's not really a problem.

Cooking the oatmeal does also help to remove some of the arsenic.

The small amount of arsenic in the oatmeal is safe for human consumption and safe for babies to eat as well.

Oatmeal is very healthy for you as well and can help improve your heart health and build a stronger heart.

Babies can also easily eat oatmeal and it makes a great food for babies that are starting on solid foods.
