#Health risks from arsenic in rice exposedhigh levels of arsenic in rice have been shown to be associated with elevated genetic damage in humans a new study has found.
which has caused devastating health impacts including cancers in many parts of the world. The authors say their work raises considerable concerns about health impacts of consuming high arsenic rice as a staple particularly by people with relatively poor nutritional status--perhaps as many as a few hundred million people.
How directly relevant the results are to people in the UK with a generally lower consumption of rice
which are more consistent and protective of human health. Dr Ashok K Giri who led the Indian research team added:
Although high arsenic in rice is a potential threat to human health there should not be any panic about the consequences particularly as the health risks arise from long-term chronic exposure.

nondigestible carbohydrates that can improve food taste and texture while aiding immunity bone health and the growth and balance of important bacteria in the digestive track.
Fructooligosaccharides are naturally found in chicory onions asparagus wheat tomatoes and other fruits vegetables and grains.
This essential ecosystem provides an important balance between health and disease in the body. Fructooligosaccharides also increase calcium absorption in the body an important consideration for pre-and postmenopausal women ages 45 and older who are losing critical bone mass that increases their risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures.
