I can see the next movie title for Hallmark's murder mystery series, it's going to be Death by Rice. They're always teaching people how to use poison which I thoroughly disagree with (let them look it up on their own they don't need to provide people with ideas). As soon as you know that poison was the method of murder, they play on the history of women using arsenic for the plotline.

I eat way too much rice. I admit it. Having this information from someone I trust is helpful for me to make some decisions going forward.

Thanks for this, I've had many discussions about the pros and cons of rinsing rice/cooking like pasta to reduce arsenic vs the loss of the fortified vitamins in the rice. (I'm def team rinse!) My bigger concern for gluten free foods though is the amount of arsenic in the rice flour in gluten free flour blends and in gluten free packaged products!

I always rinse my rice too! And agreed—I’m definitely paying attention more now to the products I’m eating and whether they contain rice flour.
