Poison!
Just found out something cool about India. We are world leaders in the producing the most 'unpoisonous' rice!! cool eh!
According to a recent Indian rice had the lowest arsenic content, and (predictably) U.S. rice had the highest! (LINK)
Interestingly, rice is the staple diet of about 65% of the indian population (LINK). And U.P. and West Bengal are amongst the leading producers (alongwith T.N., A.P....) (LINK). It is surprising cos I have heard many people say that rice is eaten mainly by south indians - and infact ridicule 'madrasis' for it. Guess the facts are different from what people claim.
So, that is another thing to be proud of. In fact, I just realised that we the world leaders in yet another field! We do, believe it or not, have the most indians!! Incredible isn't it!
