And, so... there's an arsenic issue. As in, there's a lot of it in rice, especially brown rice. Ugh.

Is that as much of an issue if you are eating a variety of grains?
I've heard of the arsenic thing, but mainly for people eating gluten free who are replacing most/all of their wheat with rice (including rice flour, etc.).
It would seem hard to eat enough rice for this to be a problem if you are also getting calories from other grains.
