Arsenic in Rice

So the Arsenic in rice story is back on the news.  This time they conveniently forgot to mention the level of arsenic is related to the areas where the rice is grown.  When they say to soak the rice for a long duration and cook them like pasta, I already think that sounds disgusting.  They also recommended to rinse with running water, which again I think is shocking waste of water. 


As an experiment I soaked my rice a few hours, then I proceeded to rub my rice as my normal rice cleaning procedure.  When I drain off, I can see my rice are all snapped and broken, I am very upset.  Safe to say, I will just stick with what I know about rice.
