Potentially dangerous levels of arsenic may remain in rice when it is cooked the way most of us cook it. That was the primary takeaway from an expert’s demonstration of how the usual way of cooking rice may leave traces of the deadly poison.
A report from The Independent looked at the findings of the new research, which suggests that the conventional way of cooking rice, which involves boiling it in a pan and letting the water steam out, may not be enough to prevent traces of arsenic from being eliminated. The poison is known to manifest in rice due to pesticides and other related industrial toxins used when it is bring grown.
According to Cosmopolitan U.K., arsenic exposure has been associated with several health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. The report also cited data from the Institute for Global Security, which shows that close to 60 percent of all U.K. rice-based products have “high levels” of arsenic.
