Is there arsenic in your rice? | MNN - Mother Nature Network

Is there arsenic in your rice? MNN - Mother Nature Network




I usually buy Jasmine rice from Thailand or Japanese rice from Japan or sometimes from California. In Southeast Asia, only rice is usually grown in rice paddies so maybe it has much less arsenic in it. I don't recall seing pesticides as well. If it organic food, the soil must have been free from pesticides for 8 years prior to planting.
