“if the best rice variety is processed, it might reduce the calories by about 50-60 percent.” - The content of the sounds a lot less probable/possible than the article's headline. Also, who has time to cook rice for 40 minutes and then refrigerate it for 12 hours just to save 120 calories?

This has already been discussed and argued at length.

The article says it "might reduce the calories by about 50-60 percent.” and the issue is with "traditional rice vs fortified rice".

I ate white rice last night (I made honey chicken) and so this of course sparked my curiosity. Minute rice for example is 100% long grain but I assume traditional rice (as I never thought to look at the labels for fortified).

I am not sure where the science is in this, and perhaps something is coming out like this for boiling pasta, white potatoes..

Thought provoking.. but to say the least I am not buying that the consumption of this rice cooked this way is processed in my body differently... I will keep an eye out for this.

We're up to 60% reduction now? Last week it was 10%, that morphed into "up to 50%", and now we're at a full blown 60%.

Cool.
