Original: Is brown rice trying to kill you? Another EWG fairytale fear defused
Brown rice is back in the nutrition debate after the Environmental Working Group raised concerns, reportedly over arsenic levels, prompting pushback from the American Council on Science and Health, which calls the warning a 'fairytale fear' and says the risks to ordinary consumers have been overstated. The exchange has reignited a familiar argument over how much alarm food-safety advisories should cause.
Why now: An EWG health warning about brown rice drew public pushback from science advocates, sparking a nutrition debate.
