I don't know about a rice cooker. A crock-pot will work, but it takes longer. You can also do the soak-overnight thing.

I have heard that certain cancers are almost unknown in vegetarian countries like India, although I do think we should be mindful of the fact that alot of the population doesn't even make it to an age where some of these cancers will afflict them.

US is the cancer capital of the world, from what I understand. Maybe it's all the industry and power lines, coupled with relatively long life spans??

Oh and burnt red meat is said to be carcinogenic.


Eat more fish, folks. But watch out for mecury and other pollutants.
