Question

Does rinsing rice remove arsenic?

Answer 1

Yes rinsing rice does remove arsenic from rice but not all of it.

Rinsing rice with water does remove bout 50 percent of the arsenic from the rice but rinsing rice also removes a lot of the rices nutrients which provide health benefits to you.

But when you're cooking rice some of the nutrients are also removed but rice needs to be cooked to eat properly and even when rice is cooked the rice still is healthy.

So if you want to or need to remove the arsenic from the rice then you can do so by rinsing the rice with water but do not rinse too long as you remove more nutrients that you really need in the rice for your health.

Also even when just cooking the rice some of the arsenic from the rice is removed.

Answer 2

Rising rice can remove arsenic and also help it cook better.

To get rid of arsenic in your body you will need to see a doctor and have chelation therapy which uses certain chemicals that separate the arsenic from the blood proteins and you may also need bowel irrigation that uses a special solution to flush out the contents of your gastrointestinal tract.

Arsenic does not smell like anything as arsenic has no smell or any taste so you cannot tell if it's in your food, water etc.

Arsenic was commonly used as a murder poison because of the lack of smell or taste.

Arsenic trioxide was considered the perfect murder weapon in that its symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea were very like those of many common ailments, so that even doctors were unlikely to diagnose arsenic poisoning as the cause of an illness or death, and surgeons who carried out autopsies were unlikely to find evidence .

The immediate symptoms of acute arsenic poisoning include vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

These are followed by numbness and tingling of the extremities, muscle cramping and death, in extreme cases.

For such a long time, arsenic was the perfect poison.

It is odorless, colorless and tasteless, so it's difficult to detect when slipped into a food or beverage.

Its effects are gradual and cumulative deflecting suspicion from the killer.

The symptoms of arsenic poisoning can be acute, or severe and immediate, or chronic, where damage to health is experienced over a longer period.

This will often depend on the method of exposure.

A person who has swallowed arsenic may show signs and symptoms within 30 minutes.
