Good read, thanks.

The method I was shown a long time ago removes the risk.
Soak rice for 30 mins +
Rinse or change water twice
Drain and add to saucepan
Add boiling water to 1/2" above the rice
Bring to boil and simmer with lid on for 5 - 6 mins
Fill with cold water and then drain
Rinse once or twice with cold water and leave to dry.

If the rice is very starchy, an additional rinse before cooking, or a tiny drop of olive oil in the water will sort it.
