Still an issue, but particularly so when my daughter had an even smaller body, the arsenic and heavy metals in rice does concern me. When researching this seriously years ago I learned that thoroughly rinsing white rice in the Japanese way does have a significant impact, about 40% of any heavy metal residues are removed. So, whilst I did see that boiling rice in more water and then draining it was recommended, it didn’t seem particularly more effective than repeated rinsing of rice before cooking.

Different for BROWN a rice though, heavy metals are locked into the bran coating. I am way more careful than I used to be with brown rice, needs to be organic from a trusted source (where soil has been tested).
