How to reduce arsenic in rice, and why it matters

Some rice has arsenic in it. What do if you’re a fan of rice? An @OSUWexMed dietitian weighs in.

@mason Isn't it rice grown in the U.S. South that has the arsenic problem?
@pertho That's a good question. Yeah, what I'm seeing suggests it's rice in the SE US that's worst at present. I'd love to find or be shown more comprehensive data! I assumed it was everywhere, but maybe not!
@mason I think it was down to the pesticide residue being in the soil and the rice crop would just absorb it.
