Arsenic in Rice Risks and How to Reduce Them | Charlotte News
Description
Rice may be a staple, but new findings reveal nearly every sample tested contained harmful inorganic arsenic — a known carcinogen linked to cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Consumer Reports found brown rice generally had higher levels than white, and eating just one serving daily of 40% of tested brands could raise long-term health risks. While some brands claim compliance with strict safety standards, many remain silent. The takeaway? Don’t rely on rice daily — swap it with quinoa or oats, opt for basmati or sushi rice, and boil rice in excess water before draining to slash arsenic. Small changes can make a big difference in your health.
