Leftover Rice Safety: Claims About Bacteria, Toxins and Storage

I'm rice, and these are the biggest dangers I cause you every single time you eat me.

I know you eat me every other day and think I'm harmless,

but I can't take it anymore.

My conscience can't stay quiet and now it's time to expose the truth.

Firstly, I am the fastest growing mold foods once it's been cooked.

And what makes it worse, you can't even see this mold most of the time.

The mold creates a toxin called Bacillus cereus and other carcinogenic ones,

which cause digestive discomfort and liver cancer over time.

Most people make a big batch of rice, stored in the fridge and then eat it over a few days.

But truth is, you shouldn't eat rice after it's been cooked for more than 24 hours.

These bacteria can multiply and produce toxins that are resistant to reheating.

So even when you heat the rice again, these toxins still make you sick.

Japan realized this in 1921, and passed a law called the Rice Act,

which is why most Asians never eat leftover rice.
