Arsenic has been found in rice and rice products. Even though governments say that the low level is harmless. However scientists say that arsenic is a carcinogen and has links to skin and lung cancer. The recommendation is that we do not eat rice every day, but to vary our foods.
Rice is such a staple for many cultures I wonder what the research would show in terms of the type of cancer most prevalent in those cultures. As a friend said, everything is harmful, what are we to do?
