Consumer Reports, March 2015, completed testing of arsenic levels in rice. Here is a
quick summary of their findings:

"Nicer rices

Our latest tests determined that the inorganic arsenic content of rice varies greatly
depending on the type of rice and where it was grown. White basmati rice from
California, India, and Pakistan, and sushi rice from the U.S. on average has half of
the inorganic-arsenic amount of most other types of rice.

Our findings led us to treat those specific rices from those areas differently from
other types of rice and rices grown in other regions. Based on our data, we
calculated that consumers could have about twice as many weekly servings as we
previously recommended if that was the only rice or rice product someone ate. For
adults, that adds up to 4½ servings per week; children could have 2¾ servings.

All types of rice (except sushi and quick cooking) with a label indicating that it’s
from Arkansas, Louisiana, or Texas or just from the U.S. had the highest levels of
inorganic arsenic in our tests. For instance, white rices from California have 38
percent less inorganic arsenic than white rices from other parts of the country.

Brown rice has 80 percent more inorganic arsenic on average than white rice of the
same type. Arsenic accumulates in the grain’s outer layers, which are removed to make
white rice. Brown has more nutrients, though, so you shouldn’t switch entirely to
white. Brown basmati from California, India, or Pakistan is the best choice; it has
about a third less inorganic arsenic than other brown rices.

Rice that’s grown organically takes up arsenic the same way conventional rice does,
so don’t rely on organic to have less arsenic."

We've stopped with the brown rice and gone to other forms of fiber.
