Yup. The nutrients that rice crave are similar in chemical structure as arsenic .
I read a report a few years ago that every sample of rice taken in China exceeded the US FDA standards for acceptable arsenic levels.
I try not to eat anything from China.
Same here. Their produce is crap.

A friend of mine worked at the U of Mo ag station in SE Mo doing soil testing. He said the arsenic is left over from cotton farming. Arsenic was heavily used as a pesticide against the boll worm and has remained in the soil ever since.
