Cooking rice that way makes it taste worse. Better to use rice that doesn&#x27;t have arsenic in it in the first place. Asian grown rice has the lowest amount of arsenic: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nutritionfacts.org&#x2F;video&#x2F;which-brands-and-sources-of-rice-have-the-least-arsenic&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nutritionfacts.org&#x2F;video&#x2F;which-brands-and-sources-of...</a>

I &#x27;wash&#x27; my rice several times before it goes in the rice cooker. I wonder what percent of the arsenic I&#x27;m removing.

Why doesn&#x27;t my rice nutrition facts label indicate the amount of arsenic in my rice?

Can&#x27;t find the paper but hasn&#x27;t this been found to degrade the nutritional profile as well? Using large amount of water works both ways.

Rice contains arsenic??? I just found out a few days ago my favourite vege, bamboo shoot, contains cyanide... and is sold pre boiled to remove it...

I wonder if arsenic in rice is even a true concern. Billions of people across Asia eat it as staple food and the incidence of cancer is usually lower (could be due to low reported cases though).

I wonder how the boiling method (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.saveur.com&#x2F;perfect-brown-rice-recipe" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.saveur.com&#x2F;perfect-brown-rice-recipe</a>) fares in regards to arsenic, given that: 1. You can use a higher water-to-rice ratio than with traditional methods, and 2. The remaining cooking water is discarded at the end.

&gt; “The team then cooked rice in an apparatus that continually condenses steam to produce a fresh supply of distilled hot water”<p>What device is that?

had no idea rice had high arsenic content. Its a stable of my diet, I eat it probably 2 or 3 times a week.

Where beriberi comes from? Rice bran is needed. Polished rice is nutritional emptyness

Wow. Nature. But then, really?<p>Sounds to me like a terrible idea.<p>1. Consumes much more water than needed now.<p>2. Consumes much more Energy than needed now.<p>3. Yes, you leach out part of the Arsenic for sure, sounds like a &quot;continuous extraction process&quot;. Rice contains nutrients and vitamins. How about them?
