| 01/05/2026 By HRS Editors š» Brown rice contains 40 percent more inorganic arsenic (a toxin linked to various diseases) than white rice due to its unprocessed bran layer, a study reveals. š» Infants and young children face disproportionate risks because they consume more rice relative to their body weight. š» U.S.-grown brown rice has 48 percent inorganic arsenic, while imported varieties can reach 65 percent, making imported options riskier. White rice from the U.S., India or Pakistan (e.g., jasmine or basmati) has lower arsenic because its bran is removed during processing. š» Consumers can reduce arsenic intake by rinsing rice, diversifying grains (e.g., quinoa, barley) and opting for lab-verified products. š» Despite FDA guidelines for infant rice cereal, no U.S. regulations exist for adult/child non-infant rice products. Experts urge systemic changes, like stricter arsenic limits and clear labeling, to balance riceās nutritional benefits with its hidden toxicity. Brown rice has long been hailed as a nutritious superfood, packed with fiber, protein and essential vitamins. But beneath its wholesome reputation lies a hidden danger that scientists are now shining a harsh light on. A groundbreaking study fromĀ Michigan State UniversityĀ (MSU) reveals that brown rice contains a staggering 40 percent more inorganic arsenic, a potent toxin linked to cancer, heart disease and developmental harm in children, compared to its white rice counterpart. The findings, part of a growing body of research exposing the foodās hidden risks, challenge consumers to rethink their dietary choices. (h/t toĀ MSUToday.MSU.edu) The dark side of the bran layer Arsenic, a naturally occurring element in soil and water, becomes a silent threat when absorbed by rice during growth. Unlike other grains, rice soaks up arsenic like a sponge, especially when cultivated in flooded paddies where the elementās toxicity amplifies. For the MSU study, which was published in the journalĀ Risk Analysis,Ā scientistsĀ analyzed arsenic concentrations in brown and white rice consumed by Americans. The results revealed a critical imbalance. Brown rice retained significantly higher levels ofĀ inorganic arsenic, the toxic form of the metal, because of its unprocessed bran layer that traps the contaminant. Inorganic arsenic, unlike its less harmful “organic” counterpart that is common in seafood, persists in the body, posing a long-term health threat. For infants and young children under five, the risks are even greater. The researchers warned that because children consume more rice relative to their body weight than adults, they are disproportionately vulnerable to arsenic exposure. The researchers added that toddlers who eat even small portions of brownĀ riceĀ daily could face unsafe levels of arsenic exposure over time. In contrast, U.S. adults are generally less at risk unless they follow a rice-heavy diet. Geography plays a toxic role. The study also unearthed stark regional differences in arsenic contamination.Ā Brown rice grown in the U.S.Ā had a 48 percent inorganic arsenic concentration, while globally sourced brown rice reached a staggering 65 percent. This disparity underscores a critical consumer dilemma: Imported rice, often cheaper and ubiquitous in multicultural diets, may carry far higher risks. For families relying on imported rice, especially from Asia, the danger is magnified. Meanwhile, U.S.-grown white rice, stripped of its bran layer during processing, contained just 33 percent inorganic arsenic.Ā (Related:Ā Healthy snacking: Why choosing organic popcorn matters.) A nutrition safety trade-off. The studyās authors stress that their findings arenāt a blanket condemnation of brown rice. They added that consumers shouldn’t worry about brown rice being “bad” while white rice is now “good.” Brown riceās benefits, including its abundance of antioxidants and dietary fiber that support good health, are undeniable. However, the data also presents a stark reality whereĀ consumers must weigh these advantages against arsenicās insidious risks. The researchers also advised that consumers shouldĀ watch out for more than arsenic in riceĀ and that they should maintain aĀ balance between nutrition and contamination. The research team also highlighted the need for more research on how to mitigate arsenic levels without sacrificing taste or health benefits. A call for consumer vigilance. Unfortunately, the U.S. lags behind other nations in regulating arsenic in non-infant foods. Without clear guidelines, consumers shoulder the burden of protecting themselves, which can be a stressful task given arsenicās invisibility. The researchers warned that the study findings aren’t just aĀ health warning but a crucialĀ call for “systemic change.” They also emphasized the need for clearer labeling and stricter controls on soil and water quality. Arsenic in rice isnāt a reason to panic, but it demands caution. Like lead or mercury, arsenic poses cumulative risks that grow with daily intake. For individuals on gluten-free diets, especially if they are reliant on rice-based foods, and families prioritizing organic consumption, the stakes are higher still. The MSU study paints a sobering picture of a staple food caught between its health halo and latent danger. As researchers, regulators and consumers navigate this complex issue, one truth remains clear: When it comes to rice, especially brown varieties, the key to safety lies in moderation, informed choices and a watchful eye on what you put on your plate. TheĀ Food and Drug AdministrationĀ (FDA)ās upcoming Closer to Zero initiativeĀ aims to set “action levels” for arsenic in food, similar to the agency’s current limit of 100 parts per billion (ppb) for infant rice cereal. However, adults and older children lack such safeguards, relying on awareness campaigns and personal vigilance. Here are some suggestions onĀ how to minimize arsenic exposure: Rinse and boil Rinsing raw rice removes 10 percent of arsenic. Boiling it in excess water (6:1 ratio) reduces arsenic by 40 to 60 percent, though this also strips some nutrients. Choose wisely Opt for basmati or jasmine rice from the U.S., California, India or Pakistan since these have lower arsenic levels. Brown basmati from these regions also fares better when it comes to arsenic levels. Avoid rice for babies Rice cereal and milk are discouraged for infants. Opt for oatmeal or multi-grain alternatives instead. Mix it up You can also protect your family from arsenic by replacing rice with arsenic-free grains likeĀ barley, bulgur orĀ quinoaĀ in dishes.
