[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is all certified organic rice safe? [/quote] no, it's not. Because as PP said, the arsenic is not being used NOW, as it's banned as a pesticide, but it was used 50 years ago on crops. The arsenic is still in the ground --- the rice absorbs it from the ground, even organic rice. Some areas that used arsenic pesticides 50 years ago have been turned into organic crops. There is no limit on arsenic in food in the USA. People are trying to get the FDA to regulate arsenic, but for now, it's only regulated in water. Not sure about lead, but as PP said, it's not in USA rice, it's in foreign rice, mostly from polluted countries like India and China. SO I guess youe best bet is white, organic rice from the USA that's grown in the Northern part of the USA. Or maybe imported rice from [b]civilized countries, like western Europe[/b].[/quote] Ha![/quote]
