I found some sources on my own. Interesting. It looks like California rice is the safest, and white rice is better than brown.

- blinkingled 14y agoCare to list your sources? Thanks!
- rdouble 14y agoI just googled "rice arsenic" and read the first page of results.
- tome 14y agoWhite is better than brown? Isn't white just brown with the brown removed?
- stan_rogers 14y agoYes, but it's a lot easier to buy the rice as white rice than it is to remove the part of the plant that is harbouring the toxin at home. Even in plants, different tissues do different things.
- stonemetal 14y agoDepends on what you mean by with the brown removed It isn't bleached white. It is like they sold white and brown potatoes at the store, where a white potato was a pealed brown potato. Just as with potatoes, apples and others, the nutrients as well as the harmful stuff tends to collect in the skin.
