I eat rice almost every night so this is somewhat alarming. Is rinsing enough or should I be looking at specific brands? Accept that I'm already a mad hatter?

I'd stick with rice grown outside of industrial areas. IMHO, any foodstuffs imported from China are a no-go.

I eat a fair amount too. If you come to something conclusive on the matter please post.

Wow, arsenic, cadmium AND lead. None of the tested samples seem healthy. Think I'll be changing my diet.
