I should have just quoted this:
"meaning it breaks down into glucose much more quickly after being eaten than brown rice."
Is that statement correct/incorrect? (regardless of how it's rated for GI)
Probably, but it still lacks context. Once you're eating something as part of a mixed meal, the digestion speed of one particular part of that meal become irrelevant (to the extent that digestion speed is relevant at all).0 -

Make sense. And is a better reply than just "no".0 -
I eat sushi at least once a week. On the days I go to a place that offers brown rice rolls I always feel fuller longer than when I've eaten white rice rolls, w/both being topped, filled w/same ingredients. Whatever fights about carb this, availability that, my desire is to eat the brown rice given my simple body response. Unfortunately, my friends and I alternate picks of restaurant choices!0

I gave up eating white rice about 7 months ago. I still love it- love how it just soaks up sauce, liquid, gravy, love the texture of sticky rice. *drool* It just doesn't fit in my lifestyle anymore. The nutritional value is negligible and it's effect on blood sugar-not good. Very high glycemic index- not good. But I miss it.0

Rice and white flour are not healthy options in that they do digest quickly and spike insulin/blood sugar levels. It is good to avoid them. But if you can't live without white rice, limit your intake and when you do eat it, also eat vegetables to help keep your blood sugar more level.
As for "clean eating"... it is eating food that is in a natural state, not processed or treated with pesticides (i.e. organic). One-ingredient foods that have not been bleached or otherwise modified (except for ground up or steamed, for example). So, white rice, bread-aisle breads, crackers, pasta, etc. - that is all refined or "developed".
Here are things that are considered clean:
- Organic fruits and vegetables.
- Free-range and grass-fed meats and dairy.
- Drinking water! Not soda, energy drinks, electrolyte drinks, etc.
- Unrefined, whole-grains.
Here are website that explain it:

Whiter the bread the quicker your dead. Remember that rhyme goes for rice too.0

Dr. Agatston from the South Beach diet would say that it's one of the bigger culprits in causing folks to crave and then eat off their plans.
I *know* (after 12 years) that this is the case for me.0
