Don’t people rinse rice before cooking it? I believe that is the rice water that is thrown away, not after cooking.
But also that rinsing water is often used in many parts of the world as a baby formula substitute. So, that’s not great if that’s where most of the heavy metals are going.
Rinsing before cooking does not reduce arsenic amounts. If you soak it over night and dump that it will help, especially if agitated during the soaking, but the research cited in this article explicitly says rinsing without at least a 30 min soak doesn’t do it. The best method is to cook one cup of rice : 6-10 cups of water and then draining that water, adding fresh water and finishing the cooking

Thanks for the clarification, I did not see that part.
