TLDR: “The analysis also showed that brown rice contained more arsenic than white rice.” “…the levels varied depending on where the rice was grown. The highest concentrations were found in arborio rice from Italy and white and brown rices from the southeastern United States. Sushi, jasmine and other types of white rice from California, as well as jasmine rice from Thailand and basmati rice from India, had the lowest levels.” No mention in the article of whether there are differences in conventional and organic products (I would imagine not, if this is a groundwater problem?). Also of note: "Though the findings were not published in a peer-reviewed journal, they jibe with past research, said Dojin Ryu, a professor of food toxicology at the University of Missouri. Rice and rice products are typically the most concentrated food sources of inorganic arsenic, according to the F.D.A."
