Grass is Greener

With regard to arsenic as a contaminant in rice: Like arsenic from soil, it is even "organic" rice?

Arsenic is abundant in rice, because it contaminates the soil from it. My question is whether it is always certified organic rice because it is a contaminant of soil, or if the organic rice grown is tested to ensure low or no arsenic. So?

Your exposure to arsenic in rice is extremely limited, and should not be a concern for ordinary people. If you're in the U.S. or Canada, you do not need to worry of arsenic in rice. If you are in China, India or South Asia, is another matter. Regards, Dan
