5 "Healthy" Things That Can Kill You

Brown Rice

Health enthusiasts are among the first to defend the benefits of brown rice, including it in many of their meals several times a week. However, a Consumer Reports investigation launched on multiple varieties of rice discovered that each brand actually carries a considerable amount of arsenic. When testing these inflictions on the human body, it came to their attention that those who consume rice regularly had forty-four percent more arsenic in their system, compared to those who do not eat rice. Brown rice, specifically, has significantly higher levels of arsenic than white rice, debunking the old idea that it is a more healthy alternative to it's white counterpart.
