Arsenic, many forms of which are relatively harmless, is present in vast numbers of foodstuffs, notably fish and seafoods. But it occurs in a deadlier form, and in high concentrations, in rice because the crop is grown in flooded fields: arsenic naturally present in the soil leaches into the irrigation water and is absorbed by the plants.
