62. Rice seems to have higher levels of arsenic than other foods

What about adding organic carrot and celery sticks to your meals. When I was a kid, my grandmother and mother always kept cut carrots and celery in a glass of cold water in the refrigerator. It came out for every meal. Just grilling a burger seems healthier than frozen meals with added salt and chemicals.

Limit your rice intake and make sure you soak it really good or overnight before cooking.

Rice has higher levels of inorganic arsenic than other foods, in part because as rice plants grow, the plant and grain tend to absorb arsenic more readily than other food crops. In April 2016, the FDA proposed an action level, or limit, of 100 parts per billion (ppb) for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal. This level, which is based on the FDA’s assessment of a large body of scientific information, seeks to reduce infant exposure to inorganic arsenic. The agency also has developed advice on rice consumption for pregnant women and the caregivers of infants.
