Rice is not good for you....................

A Harvard Medical School study has reported that eating a single serving of white rice has “almost the same effect as eating pure table sugar” due to its high glycemic index (GI), which results in a quick spike in insulin and blood sugar.

Pure Glycemic Index as a standalone metric is close to worthless. It turns out that eating fat with an item, drastically lowers the glycemic index of the item.

Which is why one should eat either brown rice or haiga (rice with the germ) instead. I just ordered a 45# bag of haiga, which alongside my present holdings will keep me in sufficient rice until the next harvest, since I only eat it occasionally.

P.S. I still have my 50yo Panasonic rice cooker. I visited a Showa (postwar) era museum a few years back, and they had one on display; Japanese visitors are always shocked when they see mine in the kitchen.

Huh. I’ve eaten rice nearly every day of my life with no problem.

I do not think that is too be believed. Billions of people have subsisted primarily on rice for several thousand years.

One must be quite careful of the information consumed and digested from the internet. A lot of it is etremely toxic.

I guess it’s good when you don’t have much else.
