    Add stuff to the water you cook it in. These are some things I've tried in the past and enjoyed:
    Minced onion
    Minced chili pepper
    Minced garlic
    Terayaki sauce

    Brown rice is better than white rice because it is not processed. White rice has zero nutritional value is and highly processed.

    If you do not like it then do not force yourself to eat it, there are far too many healthy food options out there. But I would definitely stay away from anything processed such as white rice.

    This is just ridiculous, un-needed information though.

    Yea agree people make things too complicated for themselves

    Boil it in coconut milk and add a sweetener of your choice. Mix in chunks of papaya or mango and boom...coconut rice dessert!

    Comparison of the nutritional value between brown rice and white rice

    Callegaro Mda D, Tirapegui J. Arq Gastroenterol. 1996 Oct-Dec;33(4):225-31.

    Cereals are considered an important source of nutrients both in human and animal nourishment. In this paper nutritional value of brown rice is compared to that of white rice in relation to nutrients. Results show that despite higher nutrients contents of brown rice compared to white rice, experimental data does not provide evidence that the brown rice diet is better than the diet based on white rice. Possible antinutritional factors present in brown rice have adverse effects on bioavailability of this cereal nutrients.

    Effects of brown rice on apparent digestibility and balance of nutrients in young men on low protein diets

    J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 1987 Jun;33(3):207-18. .Miyoshi H, Okuda T, Okuda K, Koishi H.

    The effect of brown rice with low protein intake was studied in five healthy young men. Feces were weighed, the digestibility of nutrients was determined, and blood tests were made. Each subject followed a diet consisting mainly of polished rice for 14 days and one consisting mainly of brown rice for 8 days. Both diets contained 0.5 g protein per kg of body weight. The brown rice diet had 3 times as much dietary fiber as the polished rice diet. On the brown rice diet, fecal weight increased, and apparent digestibility of energy, protein, and fat decreased, as did the absorption rates of Na, K, and P. The nitrogen balance was negative on both diets, but more negative on the brown rice diet. The phosphorus balance on the brown rice diet was significantly negative, but other minerals were not affected by the diet. The levels of cholesterol and minerals in the plasma were not significantly different on the polished rice diet and the brown rice diet. Comparing these results with data on standard protein intake (Miyoshi, H. et al (1986) J. Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol., 32, 581-589.), we concluded that brown rice reduced protein digestibility and nitrogen balance.

    There is protein, carbs, iron, calcium and even B1 and B3 in white rice. Argument is invalid since brown rice, though less processed, doesn't really increase nutrition or fiber significantly.

    Lots are amazed by celebrity docs and trainers. They're on TV so they must know what they are talking about...................or they are just really good at getting ratings for the network they work for.

    I'll go with the latter.
