Title:
Arsenic
and our Food
Thesis:
For
years have scientist known that inorganic arsenic can sometimes be absorbed by rice. Inorganic arsenic is a colorless, odorless, crystalline oxide, which is a carcinogen that can cause several types of cancers such as lung and bladder cancer. Although, it takes a huge amount of this element to actually cause any harm. However, it is not just in plain, rice it is also in brown rice and any rice products such as cereal or even infant rice cereal.
The pros with the fact there is arsenic in rice is very minimal. To start off, nothing has not happened yet nor has there been any report of health problems from the exposure of arsenic in rice that have been grown in the United States. Second, there is a way for people to have rice by changing the way we cook it; an individual must use lots of water when cooking it, consumer reports say using one part rice to six part water and then draining the excess water off. Third, mix up the regular diet with other grains or some other staple food.
