From Asian cuisine to gluten-free and other special diets, rice is a staple food for many people.
But is it healthy?
Depending on where it is grown, rice can contain one of the world’s most toxic elements: arsenic. Arsenic can be passed into the human body and build up in body tissue over time. This can lead to impairments in the nervous system and brain functioning, as well as birth defects, cancer, and a whole slew of other health problems.
