[Ryann Kipping]

Hey! The arsenic in rice is really only concerning if rice makes up a large part of your diet. So, even having a small amount every day would like not cause harm. To lower the amount of arsenic in your rice, you can soak it in water before cooking and cook it in plenty of water. You can also switch up which rice you are eating, alternating between white and brown!
