Arsenic is a natural element that is found in the food we eat in various levels. Ten percent of fruit juices exceed federal guidelines. In order to reduce calories, most health experts recommend a minimal use of fruit juice. Food, such as rice, which are grown in water is susceptible to increased arsenic level. The arsenic accumulates in the germ. This is stripped away in white rice. Unfortunately, white rice does not have good nutritional value. A 1/2 cup of brown rice has an amount of arsenic equal to the federal minimum level. Organically grown foods do not necessarily contain less arsenic.
