Rice grown in the southern US has relatively high levels of arsenic - some quick math based on UN standards for the developing world says that you could plausibly eat enough to reach the low end of measurable cancer risk. Most of us don't though.
If you don't like this answer, eat Asian-grown rice (~75% less arsenic), rinse your rice (~25% less arsenic), or cook it in substantially more water (~50% less arsenic).
