Overeating on These Healthy Foods? You Might Regret It
Brown rice
Brown rice is a rich source of complex carbs and whole grains. But, depending on where it grows, it can also absorb high levels of arsenic from soil and water. More so than its refined counterparts.
There are no numbers regarding the safe amount of arsenic in food, but problems do occur when eating brown rice and its derivatives on a daily basis, which increases the exposure to the heavy metal.
Captain’s tip: Rinse the brown rice before consuming it and also try to eat various types of whole grains.
