What world are you living in? If you are producing CASH CROPS meant for export, you will be buying herbicides and pesticides. It's small scale vs large scale. Large scale needs to prevent loss.
I have heard about this yrs ago that why I now eat only basmati white rice that I soak for 1 hour then rinse a few times .best rice in my opinion. thanks for sharing your knowledge on this.
Indeed, a filipina here we ate rice bfast, lunch, dinner or even in between those three 🫢🤭❤ Anyway, more on "How does it grow" videos Nicole. I love it🙏
I've heard soaking rice overnight with bentonite clay is good for reducing arsenic too. Sweet potatoes (like spinach) are pretty high in oxalates as well.
Rice are grown in water because they get way more productive and need less herbicides. When it comes to arsenic, we should only worry when those levels of contamination are high as it is impossible get food free from arsenic, fortunately the rice produced in Brazil are considered safe , but we must be careful with rice produced in a few Asian countries, so the problem isn't the rice but where it is planted
Here's a trick my dad taught me, boil the water before cooking the rice about 4 to 6 cups to 1 cup of rice, boil rice in water for 5 min, dump water THEN add appropriate amount of water per amount of rice.
thanks so much, Nicole... its so important to know these things... the poisoned baby food story is just unbelievable... and your tips at the end are so helpful 💖
It's so funny I remember as a kid the mainstream USA recommendations was not to wash rice because you supposedly lost nutrients but all my Asian friends soak/washed their rice so my family did like they did because we assumed they knew better. I've always have washed rice my whole life and I still do, so when this whole Arsenic scare happened I wasn't worried. I also noticed a long time ago I had trouble digesting brown rice so I gave up on it. More good news for me.
My Asian friends rinsed their rice because where they grew up food safety wasn't strict and rice would often come with contaminants. They would also purchase large quantities of rice in huge sacks that would be stored in a cupboard for months. Washing the rice got rid of most of the dirt, tiny rocks or grit, and animal contamination that may exist or has accumulated on the rice.
You are one of my favourite channel on youtube altogether. Each new episode is a delight and super informative ! Thank you so much and keep the great work ☀💚🥦
I like your videos and this one is hand down one of your best with information, studies and pathos. I’ve heard of this arsenic concern with rice and I am glad to have more information and alternative ways to prepare rice. Thank you
So if you buy your rice from Asian grocery stores which sell rice grown in places like India where arsenic wasn't used (specially tons of it), may be we are better of? 🤔
There's arsenic in rice, but how much is there in a typical serving and how many servings would I need to eat before my body is negatively impacted by it? The Consumer Reports article states that a baby can eat rice cereal one meal per day and adults can eat 2-5 servings of rice a week without side effects in absolute worst case scenarios. For most, eating unrinsed, non-soaked rice shouldn't be an problem. If you're eating basmati or soaking your rice, it's likely you can eat rice every day without consequences--even if your rice contains the highest levels of arsenic of any cereal grain in the USA. I'd imagine the gov't hasn't rung the alarm because the levels of arsenic aren't worth worrying about. The health risks (malnutrition, etc.) associated with people abstaining from rice, or avoiding feeding it to their children could be much higher.
Check out Blue Moon Acres organically grown New Jersey rice. Exceptionally low arsenic levels. Five varieties, milled fresh (makes for an important difference) every week.
We have brown rice in stuff bell peppers more than anyone I know. 😋 We always use brown rice and hopefully the vitamins in our bell peppers are protection from cancer. And I have skin cancer. I'm telling wife to rinse twice You have nailed your hair look today 👌. Always the best speaker of the TH-cam University and If you don't get a TV job it's probably your choice. Always great videos and a chance to learn. Thanks
So avoid US rice is what I'm hearing. I had no idea the arsenic came from cotton fields where Black people used to be slaves. Id assume that cause a lot of death and trauma. Will research that history more. Thank you for sharing this. Great insight and info.
Interesting. You reminded me that our community college (2-year, state-owned) got the money together to purchase land and build a nice campus 10 years ago. This being America, they were looking for a big footprint for parking lots and easy on/off the corridor freeway/highway. One site under consideration was tested as too toxic. It was just farmland. The final choice was land that had never been used. What are the regulations that allow farmers to work that land but then not allow it for a public institution? Your video makes an interesting point about life on this planet. People are far too lax in their attitudes towards toxic substances like spending lots of time in or near idling cars with all the exhaust. I also want to point out that you encouraged eating dandelions, and I did and it was wonderful. I also love making stingy nettle tea, but recently I picked something that looked like it, and it burned my throat tremendously. FYI, that's the feeling you'll get in your throat when you are drinking poison. About a week later, I was feeling normal again. My point is that most of the plants out in Nature are poisonous, and most of us have not experienced the poison. I got to learn the hard way. How does your throat feel after drinking arsenic?
She is talking about American-grown rice. Asians have the highest life longevity and rice is their staple food. Everything in America is tainted with deadly chemicals, not in Asia.
The Ganges is the most polluted river in the world, and there's trash in tons of the beaches in southeast Asia. Not to mention companies with no environmental regs and can dump their waste in the waterways
From tamil nadu , a state where rice is exported! Years before we had the best soil, the best river bed made the soil so healthy with minerals and gave the best rice. Kaveri river made the entire basin such a rich source of soil and the rice was so Amazing then,
Consumer reports listed the amount of arsenic in rice, organic and inorganic as well as how much in each rice brand. I think I made a copy on my computer somewhere.
I think it was a pdf. How can I share it online here? You can probably Google pdf consumer reports arsnic in rice and find it. The levels were crazy high, even the best one was to high. I don't have a way to post docs here ATM as my account is set to private which I like.
Thank you for this knowledge! Now this is part of my employment location decisions. Hope you don't get bothered by the 'keyboard warriors' in the comments!
After watching Adam Ragusea about the western/eastern rice style of rinsing rice, i feel better now since I mostly eat washed rice dishes. I just rinse until the water is no longer murky. Yes there's a lot of starch being lost but i can now also say a lot of Arsenic is lost. I'm a southerner so we consume lots of rice cuz its such a great food 1) great shelf life 2) mixes with so many bean dishes 3) great price per pound, just buy a large bag and use it throughout the year. (A 20 lb bag can last 6 months but if eaten faster, then no biggie.)
Well done, good video. This also applies to apples and apple juice. The best thing is of course to avoid arsenic. However, one solution is to eat Canadian lentils with your offending food. Canadian lentils have high selenium continent. Selenium binds with arsenic in your gut and becomes innocuous. Not ideal but one solution. correction, Canadian grown lentils have high selenium content.
Dude. I was gonna have rice for dinner today. 😖 i just bought 2 bags of birdseye wild rice with corn carrots & peas. My fav 'treat' dinner as i normally just eat peas. (vegan.. on a diet). Well thanks for letting me know my treat comes with a side of poison. I'll be picking something else from now on
You only say arsenic is present, are the amounts shown to be harmful? And what exactly are the differences elemental arsenic has depending on its source?
Not at all what I had hoped for, or expected. Your attitude was just not what I have come to expect from your videos… ggggsss. You make me think I should find a bridge and jump of it now! I won’t, I can assure you of that. Life is good! Come on, you made clear things are getting better, so let’s be happy with that, and let’s do our best to minimize the problem. Keep moving forward…
This is interesting new things to me. To my understanding cassava also contains arsenic, so we should not eat it raw or medium done. I has to cook perfectly welldone hence the arsenic will be gone. It is also the same case with the rice? I mean if we rinse it and cook it correctly and the arsenic will be gone?
Welcome. peace to you could you talk about the war in Ukraine and the Russian aggression and how it has affected the world market for grain, flour, bread, sunflower oil and chicken. And to call for support for women and children in Ukraine, who are currently freezing due to Russian missile attacks on Ukraine's social infrastructure and energy facilities. We have a blackout due to Russian aggression, many innocent people are dying. We are happy to watch your videos, may God bless you.
At what dose does arsenic in rice cause a problem? Because if the amount in a daily ration of rice is so low that it's not a problem, then it's not a problem - and all the fear and alarm is unnecessary.
вітаю. мир вам. чи могли б ви розповісти про війну в Україні та російську агресію та як вона вплинула на ринок зерна, муки, хліба, соняшникової олії та курятини в світі. Та закликати підтримати жінок та дітей в Україні, які зараз замерзають через атаки російських ракет по соціальній інфраструктурі України та по енергетичних об'єктах. У нас блекаут через російську агресію, багато невинних людей гине. Ми з радістю дивимося ваші відео, хай Благословить Вас Бог.
I foresee a similar problem, the poison is in the dose. Trace amounts don’t pose a problem, just like trace amounts of arsenic in apples isn’t a problem. She only says arsenic is present in relative amounts, not if at any of these levels it’s dangerous.
Louisiana should have good healthy rice. How about rice from China? Chinese eat everything in the world but crawfish. Crawfish diet is about 90% vegetation, which made crawfish a nuisance in China. Then they found out what a Cajun is. They found an export product they didn't know they had.
I’m frankly puzzled by this topic as I have seen it repeated by so many. Arsenic use was banned a very long time ago and the half life in soil is short enough to be gone by now. I’m happy and comfortable with the rice I buy from Louisiana. I trust it more than anything imported.
In the west and Midwest , there are plenty of old abandoned arsenic mines that are completely flooded. All you need for that arsenic to leak into the water system is for the water level to rise enough that arsenic soaked water from the mine can flow into larger bodies of water. Once the water gets into the rice paddies, the rice will be contaminated.
Ok you talk in percentage ,like brown rice has 80% more arsenic than white rice.well,maybe start taking in ppm's and how that equals to the actual recommended safe dose and how that compare with the amount in rice ,most of all stop quoting cherry pick studies,as a mater of fact ,is there a link to the studies you based this OPINION piece on?

True, but rice is eaten all over Asia. But, you never hear about mass deaths in China, Japan, or the Philippines due to arsenic poisoning 🤔
Ive worked at several produce companies and sometimes non organic goes with organic shhh
Colorless, oderless, tasteless…. Are you taking about iocane powder from the princess bride?
The fact that there is arsenic in baby food but no longer allowed in chicken feed is crazy.
That's the great greed and money hunger of man, to obtain it at all and any cost. these monsters do not care as long as they're rich rich rich and can play play play have fun and buy more bigger and badder military grade weapons of mass destruction....
Why does it have to be anywhere?Why are you comparing?
Why are you so outraged? Arsenic shouldn't be in anyone's food, but most certainly NOT our babies!
Nowadays, it seems that nearly everything we ingest is horrible for human health. But there is good news: only a few weeks of total abstinence from eating and drinking is guaranteed to abrogate any ailment, infirmity, affliction, and health concern - permanently.
Presents an excellent opportunity for many African countries where pesticides and herbicides are never used to grow organic rice for export.
Better do quick before the Chinese using crazy chemical do extract other metals or mining.
What world are you living in? If you are producing CASH CROPS meant for export, you will be buying herbicides and pesticides. It's small scale vs large scale. Large scale needs to prevent loss.
can you name one

How can we tell where the rice is grown either California or S. Carolina? I don't usually see labels on rice bags showing where it's grown.
I do, usually in Texas or India the brands I purchase personally
Here's a trick my dad taught me, boil the water before cooking the rice about 4 to 6 cups to 1 cup of rice, boil rice in water for 5 min, dump water THEN add appropriate amount of water per amount of rice.
A source I trust. That cotton field history makes so much sense. Great video 👍
I always take organic brown rice .
Funny thing is, a lot of long lived people especially on south east Asia, japan, Korea, constantly eat rice their whole life.
Yes, as you'll see in the video, it does depend on location and how the soil/water has been treated.
@TRUE FOOD TV the USA have been providing rice to Asia for many decades.
Yes whatever it is sad because you can't grow rice like some states or like overseas
