It's the wrong kind of rice: they are talking about a constituent oil in outer rice hulls, and commonly sold rice has been cleaned of them. There must be a conspiracy of saboteurs who infiltrated the food industry.

I can only imagine what it would be if I didn't eat rice.

There is rice, and then there is rice with nutrients. Depending on what rice you have been consuming your diet may be improved by taking rice out of your diet.

I've read more and more that Vitamin E called tocotrienol is excellent for you.

There have also been some tremendous advances in treating skin cancer with CoQ10.

CoQ10 is an enzyme used by the cells to help in energy production. Seems it can also trigger the gene that is in cancer cells that "turns back on" the natural cell death processes.

Tip from an ole timey pediatrician...My son's cholesterol was out of control at age 7. Genetic factors we think since he was adopted--but the pediatrician said to add oat bran to his diet.(we used Hodgkins Mill brand.) I added a small handful to anything that would work with it, meatloaf, breadcrumb breading, etc. It worked like a charm.

Good for your pediatrician. Most doctors would reach for the prescription pad. Treasure him.

No lie.

"...However, since taking any form of Vitamin E for a long time can be harmful,"

This is one of the most insideous, and deliberately harmful lies that the quacks keep repeating. One of the best ways of preserving your immune system is taking large doses of natural vitamin E forever. I have taken 2000 to 3000 IU of vitamin E for more than 30 years.

I wonder if it was not the change in climate but the fact that you had become allergic to it that caused the rash. If I take a medication, any medication for a long time I will develop an allergy to it.

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

First, there is zero rice bran oil in rice (Unless you're eating whole grain rice, not the white or brown stuff)

Second, For better information on cholestral, go to the Health Sciences Institute forum, and get educated. By trying to lower your cholestral, you could do yourself much harm.

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

Not necessarily. Basmati rice is brown until bleached, like most rices. The inner kernel of the rice is white.

Red Palm Oil http://www.congocookbook.com/c0226.html

The fruit of the African oil palm (Elaesis guineensis), which grows throughout tropical Africa, is used in many African dishes. Palm nuts, the fruit of the African oil palm, are not much bigger than grapes and grow in large bunches. They are orange-red in color, and their pulp and oil give a distinctive color and taste to many African soups and stews. Palm oil is to tropical African cooking what olive oil is to Mediterranean cooking and butter is to northern European cooking.

Vitamin E - The Tocotrienols: Super Anti-oxidants http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/red_palm_oil.htm

Vitamin E is one of the most important phytonutrients in edible oils. It consists of eight naturally occurring isomers, a family of four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) homologues. While most Vitamin E supplements on the market today are composed of the more common tocopherols, tocotrienols are believed to be a much more potent antioxidant than tocopherols. Tocotrienols are naturally present in most plants, however they are found most abundantly in palm oil extracted from palm fruits. Other sources are rice, wheat germ, oat and barley. It has been shown by published research that alpha-tocotrienol is 40-60 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol in the prevention of lipid peroxidation. Since tocotrienols are a form of Vitamin E found less abundantly in nature than tocopherols, the research on this super anti-oxidant is still recent and ongoing. It is predicted that tocotrienols will become recognized as the new super anti-oxidant in the very near future.
