Arsenic in Brown Rice

The two main organizations (the FDA and USDA) who report about these potential health threats have determined soil and ground water are how arsenic in rice is distributed. In fact, arsenic has long been a part of the soil and plants producing grain and rice have been cultivated and harvested with only very small amounts actually absorbed by the plant.

The truth is, even if you decided to get rid of rice and other plant based foods in your diet such as grain and fruit, arsenic would still be found in other foods.

The basic assumption by top Toxicologists is arsenic is not considered to be as big of a health threat as previously thought and is not responsible for cancer or other stated arsenic related health threats. The EPA has issued its finding that having an exposure to arsenic in your diet is approximately 80% less than legal levels set to protect end users consuming regular drinking and cooking water.
