While it’s okay to eat brown rice in moderation or for short periods of time, using it as a dietary staple can be harmful to your health due to arsenic contamination. 

If you’re still interested in a brown rice cleanse, be sure to reduce arsenic levels by soaking and rinsing your rice and cooking with a ratio of 6 cups of water to 1 cup of rice, draining the excess water when you’re done. Also consider substituting in other nutritionally rich and low-arsenic grains like millet and quinoa.
