- dominotw 9y agowow! I had no idea. Thank you. > While most crops don’t readily take up much arsenic from the ground, rice is different because it takes up arsenic from soil and water more readily than other grains. > Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic is associated with higher rates of skin, bladder, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease. The FDA is currently examining these and other long-term effects. https://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/Metals/ucm280202.htm https://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/Metals...
