LINKs to articles and studies on Arsenic in RICE - The issue of Arsenic in rice is not new. I think the important thing to be aware of is this - anti-nutrients or carcinogens are present in many foods, it is a matter of degree. Therefore it is important to see all of this kind of information in its full context and not be unnecessarily alarmist, labelling any particular food as unequivocally ’bad’ or ’unhealthy’ without putting that in the proper context. This applies to the issue of Arsenic in rice too, millions of people have been taking rice as their staple food for thousands of years, and whilst there is no doubt that there is a potential problem of arsenic in rice, especially rice grown in certain areas where arsenic contamination of the soil and water is serious, that does not mean we should be telling people to stop eating rice or even to take less rice, instead we should be informing people on how to make better choices - in terms of choosing rice with lower arsenic levels as well as how to cook the rice to lower the levels of arsenic in them.
