Considering that virtually all rice in the US is contaminated with arsenic, it has roused me into asking this question. Each time you consume a bowl of rice, does the arsenic therein circulate into your bloodstream and bioaccumulate permanently into all of your organs, or, if eaten infrequently, is the exposure negligible and low enough, such that the body is unaffected and readily able to excrete the arsenic out without any bioaccumulation occuring?
