>consuming slightly more than a half-cup of cooked rice per day resulted in a significant increase in urinary arsenic levels, comparable to the effects of drinking a liter of water containing the federal maximum of 10 ppb arsenic
Is this real? As a AMWF hapa, I eat a cup or two of rice every day. I have rice for breakfast. I have rice for dinner. I usually have rice for lunch. I have rice for one or two snacks in the day. Is this real? How do Asians exist? Looks like the "federal maximum" of arsenic is 100μg in 1L of water though (bare minimum anyone would drink in a day) vs 10μg-30μg you would get with their numbers by eating 1/2 cup (100g) of white rice. So maybe they miscalculated.

>OI M8, YOU CAN'T EAT MO THAN HALF O CUP O ROICE IN A DAY, DAS SUICIDE!

Also, this high intellectual forum says it's bullshit:

Well rice is a plant and plants are sub-par foods at best, and mostly garbage with poison on average.

Another genius contrarian take. There seems to be no imageboard left where the average user isn't mentally retarded.

>Though arsenic can enter soil or water due to weathering of arsenic-containing minerals in the earth, humans are more to blame than Mother Nature for arsenic contamination in the U.S. today, according to the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The U.S. is the world's leading user of arsenic, and since 1910 about 1.6 million tons have been used for agricultural and industrial purposes, about half of it only since the mid-1960s. Residues from the decades of use of lead-arsenate insecticides linger in agricultural soil today, even though their use was banned in the 1980s. 

It's not the rice it's the toxic amerimutt pesticides that caused this.

>lead-arsenate pesticide
Fuck amerifat retards and fuck all pesticides, it's all jewish poison to poison people with over some shady kike mythical story that has never been proven of ~20% crop gains. Pesticides are the same story as vaccines. I bet its actually -gain to crops and it's all fucking fake.

Asians can be very particular about washing their rice, but how common is that elsewhere?
>>327153 (OP) 
The arsenic found organically in plants is pretty much harmless
