I'd love to hear these numbers compared to some sort of baseline, to prioritize which things are more vs less dangerous. (Otherwise we get into binary "Everything is scary!" mode which just leads to paralysis)
E.g. I drink Almond Breeze milk. The cyanide levels are listed as, "Up to 143,700 µg/kg". Is that per kg of milk? Per kg of almonds? How does that compare to the background level of cyanide that a person ingests per day? Is there a level of cyanide ingestion low enough that you don't really need to worry about it?

So insightful.. and scary. Would love to hear your recommendations for staples to include in our diets that are safer to consume!
Next post incoming! For milks, I’d say elmhurst is my favorite.
