    Although brown rice is good, nutrition experts do not recommend eating more. Because brown rice contains inorganic arsenic, it is a kind of semi-metallic element harmful to human body and a carcinogen. The "safety standard" set by the World Health Organization is: a 60 kg person, the daily intake does not exceed 0.12 mg (equivalent to eating about a pound of brown rice a day). Brown rice can also be eaten properly, as long as it is not eaten as a staple food, it is okay to eat it occasionally.
