If you eat a lot of whole grain rice or feed it to your kids, you should be aware of the arsenic levels.

Sadly typical that profit was considered above the health of the consumer.

“Had the problem been addressed in the past, given that it is well known that arsenic in paddy soils was a problem in the U.S….safe soils would have been identified and low grain arsenic rice varieties developed.” Instead, arsenic-resistant varieties have been developed that build up excessive levels of arsenic without dying themselves"

Apparently there are measures you can take to remove about 50% of the arsenic but even 50% isn't enough if your rice was grown on some old cotton field.

Profit is always put ahead of the health of the consumer. It's a sad state of affairs.
