Rice tainted by arsenic 'raises risk of cancer' Last updated at 20:49pm on 23rd March 2007

One in five packs of American long-grain rice contains potentially harmful levels of arsenic, according to a study.

Experts at Aberdeen University claim that eating large quantities of the rice on a daily basis could increase the risk of certain cancers.

The team's leader, Professor Andy Meharg, said he does not let his children eat the suspect rice, and suggested other consumers might take the same decision.
