> rice is found to have too much arsenic

BTW, I read of a better way to cook brown rice that reduces arsenic. Instead of 1 part rice, 2 parts water, simmer for 45 minutes, one does this:

1. Cook brown 1 part brown rice in 6 parts water for 30 minutes. 2. Strain to remove the water. Put rice in a steamer basket. 3. Steam for 10 minutes.

Much of the arsenic is carried away in the water in step 2. The rice also comes out much fluffier.
