[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No arsenical pesticides are used in US grown rice. [/quote] I thought the arsenic that's causing the problem is already in the ground (like from 40 years ago)?[/quote] Correct. And rice is a variety of grass, so it soaks up the arsenic. But by saying that they are not using any fertilizer that has arsenic is actually an attempt to fool the consumer in thinking that the rice is arsenic-free - by assumption. [/quote] But...rinsing it would not remove the arsenic, either. Would it?[/quote] No, it does not remove the arsenic. Rinsing it removes some of the starch. One way of cooking rice is to put the grains in a pot of boiling water and when it is cooked, you drain out the water. Rice prepared like this has a considerably less starch in it. (There are uses of the drained out rice water - but it is another thread)[/quote]
