I agree — brown rice and wild rice are good to eat. The trick is not to eat processed white rice or so-called “instant” rice.

The #1 nutrient you get out of rice (of any kind) is carbohydrates.

White rice has plenty. The “process” is to shuck the husk bran and germ from the rice. While that has a few extra nutrients (including carbohydrates) that may or may not be insufficient in someone eating a modern diet - the #1 nutrient of brown or wild rice is still carbohydrates.

Raw energy! Good stuff.

Most of those Asian nations with longer life expectancies really like, and tend to predominantly eat, white rice.
