Arsenic in rice.

Surprise. There is arsenic in rice. The arsenic comes from natural rocks and gets washed into rice paddies, where the rice plant absorbs it.

Is it dangerous ?
Yes, and no.
If you eat a lot of rice and do not wash it, then yes. Washing rice before cooking reduces the amount of arsenic.

My own view is that eating too much rice is bad because it is pretty much pure starch with very little dietary fibre and very few valuable nutrients. Health food it is not. The possibility of harm from arsenic is an added reason not to eat too much.

This portion is either factually incorrect... or at best, misleading.

...brown rice has higher levels of arsenic than white because the highest levels of the arsenic are found in the husk. The husk is removed to make white rice, ...

The husk is removed from all rice - even seed rice, prior to soaking it for germination. The husk may or may not have the highest levels of arsenic, but since the husk is always discarded, it doesn`t matter.

What makes brown rice white, or polished rice - is the removal of the `rice germ` or `rice bran`. This is removed by a grinding/polishing step.

But ... I died from arsenic poisoning. It must have been the rice. I ate 2-3 tons of it a year.

I thought the lead led to lead poisoning.

Well, I tested the hypothesis of Arsenic in rice by leaving rice-balls to poison rats.
The results are not very encouraging so far.

Looks like your experiment will cause an eventual cataclawsm.

I always wash rice, but not because of arsenic. I wash it because:
1. I like to get rid of some of the starch, and
2. There's usually at least one pellet of rat poop in rice, so I'm assuming there's also rat pee.
Suffice it to say that I mean it quite literally when I say I rinse the crap out of rice with piping hot tap water before cooking it.

[Lance Kennedy]

On rat poop.

If we all truly understood what we were eating, we would stop, and starve to death.

Her: People stop eating veal when they learn how it's made!

Me: Meh, I still wondering what the problem is with cannibalism.

I prefer nibbling on sashimi....

If Game Hunting is better than trophy hunting, then cannibalism must be better than just murder.
Especially if you manage to destroy all the evidence.

A good marinade works wonders on gamey venison, so I imagine it would work just as well for long pig. You'd probably want to adjust either the acidic element or the fat content depending on whether you got your long pig at Walmart or Fashion Week.

Ha, ha..........I used to be able to say: "I prefer my sashimi well done" in Japanese. I was a real hit on the pub crawl.

Short answer: Sausage.

If you are going to be a cannibal, remember to cook the meat very well. Human flesh, for some strange reason, carries lots of human pathogens, and eating if rare can make you very sick.

Zombies. Pfft. They're all brains-for-shit crazy.

They don't transfer easily to non-humans, so kaiju are generally safe.

Kuru Disease / Cannibalism

It has similar characteristics to mad cow disease.
