Bran, from any source, especially wheat, is supposed to be an excellent dietary fibre source.

Amazing! And still the Bush Administration refuses to do anything to promote the use of rice. /sarcasm

I love rice....and my cholesterol is still too high. I can only imagine what it would be if I didn't eat rice.

[COUNTrecount]

Bush did promote Rice IIRC.

I think its the rice bran, and not polished/white rice, that's mentioned in this article. Partially polished rice has a reddish tinge, with clear deep brown streaks on each grain.

What kind do you use?

Look at the printed sack, the label on top and the smaller print below the picture of the plant, isn't it contradictory?

I lost a lot of weight, years ago, taking soybean oil capsules. Don't know why it worked, but it did.

One problem, after moving from a dry climate to the coast, I began to break out. Sooo, I no longer take the capsules.

Admittedly, I love basmati and jasmine rice.

Gee ... Just like olive oil. Amazing.

So can Flax Seed Oil (2 to 3 tablespoons daily) mixed with yogurt and/or cottage cheese. Flax Seed Oil over time will heal heart damage that has occurred and helps to cure or prevent cancer.

I take flax oil everyday. I started last February.

Interesting. I just bought a jar of (red) palm oil - very rich in tocotrienols. Haven't quite decided how I'm going to use it just yet. It will take some experimentation, I think. Traditional North African recipes have it in soups and sauces.

[From many - one.]

And in parts of india that is the commonest form used because it is cheap.

Oh so now we are going to drill in rice fields? Isn't that bad for the environment?
