I hate to tell you this...but look it up...it's real. Almost all rice (except wild rice) is an arsenic uptaker. It naturally pulls arsenic from the soil and water ( naturally occurring most of it, but not all) The Government website even has a warning on it, especially white, but brown too, and EVEN organic. Being Vegan I used to eat a lot of rice.....I have not touched in in years. Do some research you will see what I mean right away. Here is a good place to start.....https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/arsenic-in-rice#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2
