I'd suggest Brits ban full leaved teas in favor of microwaved teabags while at it.
It seems to work with all rice, just with varying effectiveness.

Why do you think the study is targeting Japan? And why would the Brits joke about it?
Do you think I am? It's just good, general info. Arsenic in rice is problem, and getting worse.
I wonder why you would claim something like this, which literally can save lives, is false?
Why would people purposefully ruin their food to make a joke? I sincerely doubt entire nations of people cook their food, purposefully ruining it, then laugh over the fact.
"Oh that rice was terrible! Let's cook it that way again!"
Yet you've attested this twice now, and in a thread discussing how to remove deadly arsenic from rice.
You seem to want to discredit this study. You've claimed the study was false, was made up in jest.
It's not some weird joke.
Whatever you're trying to say, please don't do it by trying to discredit something designed to save lives. It's uncool.
The only thing I could think of, was that the water used was not entirely absorbed during cooking. So even the UA sample had excess water disposed of at the end.
They talk about the lid being open, but that seems not plausible for the amount shown.
is prominently labeled as "not used" in any of the milk at my supermarket. Where is all this rBGH milk coming from?
The use of rBGH is approved in the United States. However, many grocery store chains don’t carry milk from cows treated with rBGH. A United States Department of Agriculture survey conducted in 2014 found that fewer than 1 in 6 cows (15%) were being injected with rBGH.

The correct answer is zero. It’s the difference between opt out and opt in. I don’t and can’t shop at your supermarket.
So do non-US fruits, unless it's the "organic" stuff.
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
"So, if I may be editorial as a Canadian: No." is a strange, nonsensical way to respond to a post titled "Price of rice in Japan falls below ¥4k per 5kg".
Complaining about it and sarcastically ascribing ideological positions to downvoters is probably not helping, either.
As for pesticides US vs Canada: Chlorpyrifos Neonicotinoids Ractopamine
All being phased out or banned up north. And much more restricted in EU/Internationally. While US use seems to me to be rampant.
Japanese rice costs more _because it is better_. And especially because it’s known by laypersons to be better. If any of the commenters here had any authority because perhaps they could claim they’ve spent a bunch of time in Japan like I have? I’d respect that.
And indeed, we Canadians are subject to politics about our supply management on dairy and poultry. It’s not just there to protect business. It’s there to protect health as far as my contemporaries are concerned.
