Guide Arsenic levels in Rice (1 Viewer)

[Dr. Nate]

Arsenic concentrations

Rice absorbs a lot more arsenic than most other cereal crops due to the flooded conditions it's grown in [1]. Seafood can have higher arsenic concentrations than rice, but the arsenic in seafood is almost entirely in the organic form. In contrast, rice has significant levels of inorganic arsenic, which is generally a lot more toxic [2].


How to reduce the arsenic levels?

You can boil your rice in a bunch of water and drain the excess water when the rice is finished cooking. This decreases arsenic by ~50%, but you lose a bunch of nutrients too (especially the ones that were added during enrichment, since those leave pretty easily) [3, 4].
You can also avoid brown rice, since arsenic is more concentrated in the rice bran (which is removed in white rice and kept in brown rice) [5].

What if u just dont eat rice?

 

[Dr. Nate]

What if u just dont eat rice?

that's an option. There are other sources of inorganic arsenic though, if your worried about that. Rice is just one of the bigger and more well known ones. And unless you have another reason to avoid rice arsenic alone probably shouldn't be enough of a concern for you to significantly change your eating habits over it

I remember my mom taking me away from school and feeding me plain rice with spicy oil. It was pretty good. Not very nutritious though.

How much followers do you have on the Tok?

only 1k, I need to upload more. I'm so cancer lazy, my last video was 3 months ago

 

[khanlite]

Can i just build up an arsenic tolerance by consuming 10mg a day

 

[Tismo]

high iq thread
i don’t eat rice to begin with, but now i have another reason not to

 

[Dr. Nate]

I forgot to mention that washing your rice can slightly reduce the arsenic content, but the effect is mild, and you should probably already be washing your rice anyways
