Mmmm! rice, butter,and honey for breakfast.

So last night's leftover was this mornings breakfast.
I love rice, and it was distressing to learn how laced rice is with arsenic.

Arsenic can be naturally introduced, but the largest source is residue from 30 years ago, so the problem will not be going away soon. Anyhow I was dumping out the leftover rice after a meal because it was recommended to limit its use.

However recent cooking methods can reduce the poison in our rice considerably! That is why I was able to resume my rice diet. I love rice for breakfast!

This is how you can make your rice safe. I was going to say again, but that would be to imply it was ever safe in our lifetime.

According to research, boiling 5 times as much water as rice and putting the rice into the boiling water then cooking for 5 minutes before draining then cooking as usual, removes most of the arsenic.

Thought that those of you, like myself, that love rice would be as happy as I to know about this work around.

Think about this..... cooking the arsenic laced rice in water with high arsenic content! Welcome to life in NM! Don't drink the water.

Yah but arsenic in your water is no problem! Now is time to read about what bubbling water with Ozone removes.
I lived in NM so I invested in an Ozone generator. Although An RO filter will remove it as well. I bubbled the waste water as well to clean it up before disposal.

According to one minute of research, you’d have to consume approximately four ounces per day of the rice with the highest levels of arsenic (that grown in Louisiana) in order to reach toxic levels. Of course, most of my rice comes from California (lowest levels of arsenic), and Colorado tap water has minimal arsenic levels.

I thought I said I like rice. I try to remember that so much of our food has poison in it, any I don't consume the better.
