The arsenic present in asian rice is typically a natural organic form which does not appear to cause any health issues, unlike rice from DDT laced Australian soils, as DDT used decades ago does not break down, and produces known health problems. Export products from asian countries are usually of reputable quality. However, Taiwan, for example, does have both organic and non-organic farming and zoning, but non-organic may be GMO, so merely knowing the country of origin may not be adequate.
Having said that, the question arises whether concentrated powder extracts are as safe as the whole food counterparts, given that there are high levels of some heavy metals, albeit natural. The fibre content is what helps the body to remove such toxins from the body. Therefore protein smoothies may be only as good as their fibre content. Low fibre protein drinks may be more mucus forming and therefore unhealthy compared to, say, even a meal of grass fed beef.
Although, I feel it is good to have protein powders as a standby, and many healthful ingredients can be added to them.

I find this article very relevant, which is why I stopped using the protein powders as I came across the study in its entirety and was in disbelief and fearful. Although, I found this article helpful, it would have been advantageous to include other safer protein powder alternatives besides yours because it wont he available until January.
