STOP EATING BROWN RICE thinking that it’s healthier than white rice.

Brown rice, often considered a healthier alternative to white rice, contains high levels of arsenic. Actually 80% more than white rice.

Chronic exposure to high levels of arsenic has been associated with various health risks, including an increased risk of cancer (particularly bladder, lung, and skin cancers), heart disease, diabetes.

As well as increased risk of neurological disorders, including cognitive impairment, dementia, and neurobehavioral problems.

To reduce arsenic exposure from rice, but you still want to eat grains, diversify your diet by including a variety such as: quinoa, millet, buckwheat.
