Replacing white rice in your diet with brown rice may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

Only because brown rice tastes nasty and you'll eat less of it.

Great. More affirmative action.

I already knew this but try getting brown rice at a Chinese restaurant. It would likely be white rice with soy sauce poured over it.

So it directly follow the Glycemic Index, with barley being quite a bit lower than brown rice, which is lower than white rice, which is lower than sugar.

Look up Chana Dal. That has a very small Glycemic Index value. It’s a little yellow pea/bean grown in India. My only concerns about it are its taste and the fact it has those phytoestrogens that aren’t always good for people.

Maybe I’m showing my ignorance here, but don’t Asians eat A LOT of white rice?

Do they show the same health problems?

Might something else be at work here? Or did I miss something?

Anyone who prefers white rice is obviously a racist.

[Little Ray]

Brown rice, duh.
And it has a better flavor - sort of a nutty flavor.

White rice vs. brown rice,
white salt vs. celtic sea salt,
white bread vs. whole wheat bread,
or
white sugar vs. sucanat.

Maybe it is only known in the south but I prefer yellow rice which is made with Saffron.

Same with eggs ... white or brown ... different hens, same egg.

[gunsequalfreedom]

I vote for white rice, the thick clumpy kind, not the thin grain thai rice.

[SkyDancer]

ps ... don’t laugh but down here we see pink, blue and green eggs ....it’s the chickens (chucks as they’re called) what they eat ...

[RegulatorCountry]

Define “better.”

If you’re looking for long term storage, brown rice is inferior to white rice. It can go rancid after six months to a year. White can keep almost indefinitely given proper storage.

I would not eat brown rice until I found this stuff, which I love. It is as good as rice gets.

"The finding is important because the consumption of white rice in the United States has increased dramatically in the past few decades,
it's because , the number of Asian immigrating to the United States has grown substantially over the past two decades"

[Exit148]

Evidently, diabetes is increasing in China -— BUT — only in these modern times with the changing life style and the influx of Western food.

The Chinese have been eating white rice for centuries (polished so that it would not go rancid in storage), but is only the past 20 or so years that there has been a change.

So don’t blame white rice, and make mine the medium grain, please.
