Rice often contains too much heavy mettals. Canned food contains too much BPA.
that's probably why most recipes ask to wash rice before boiling... im certain this works great... if your house's water-pipes were not made of lead hahaha.....haha.... sigh ._.
I think that's mostly to wash the excess starches off of the rice.
it does leech out (some) arsenic though.

My understanding is that this is related to whether it's American grown in fields previously used for cotton and other non-food crops due to pesticides.. foreign rice should be ok?
at least it's going to be foreign pesticides
Not a good thing either haha.. as an American, I don't think our farmers are purposely poisoning the rice, but may not understand the pesticides in the soil from decades ago can still fuck people up now.
