    All this talk about arsenic in rice is very interesting to me.  As an Asian I grew up eating rice EVERYDAY, 2-3x/day even.  I still eat rice at least 3x/week.  Maybe I have arsenic poisoning.

    I'm completely gluten free and pretty much dairy free so rice / rice products are a large portion of what I eat daily...unless it takes years to be poisoned I think I'm fine and will continue to give my DS rice products and DD when she's old enough...
