The FDA investigated the matter a year later and

["A]ll of the data suggest levels that are not high enough to give us cause for concern for immediate or near-term effects," said FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg.

The arsenic accumulates in the hull, the outer portion of the rice, "so the more highly you refine and polish rice, the more arsenic is reduced," said Donald Zink, an FDA senior science adviser.

The brown rice had 160 parts per billion inorganic arsenic per serving

The Environmental Protection Agency has set arsenic limits for drinking water at 10 parts per billion, by comparison.

I eat maybe 5 pounds of brown or emperor (full grain) rice a year, if that.

I probably eat more arsenic from fruit and vegetables (pesticides) that I forget to wash with dishsoap and water before I eat them.

But if the concentrations of arsenic are that dangerous -- why don't people in Asia, where rice is a larger part of their diets, not have much higher cancer rates then they do?

That being said, I wouldn't eat brown rice every day of feed a baby rice cereal daily knowing this ...

Don't forget the GMO corn that gets into everything we eat in the USA
