White Rice Vs Brown Rice
Replies
-
Am a Filipino, and what we, being the citizens of Philippines, eat everyday is a pair of food that has at least one cup of white rice each meal. My only opinion here is that rice, or any kind of grain foods here, is high on Carbs but somehow Brown rice is commercially being sold here, as there's a price difference from the white ones. There's only one thing that i remember when eating a brown rice, they say it is more refined and healthier. Yet i just care less as I hardly see the difference on my Diary, especially on the Macros.. LoL... As long as you do not exceed your carbs nutritional goal, you do not have to worry on both kinds of rice...0

Been eating white rice for almost all my life. As has been mentioned, the differences between the 2 are minute, so eat what tastes better to you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't most the hate against white rice stem from the "hate all 'white' carbs" people?
Very silly.0 -

That's not much of an argument. A thousand other foods have a much better nutritional profile than brown rice -- they shouldn't be eating brown rice at all if that's the concern.nakedraygun wrote: »Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't most the hate against white rice stem from the "hate all 'white' carbs" people?

Yes. But they try and solidify their argument by saying brown has a lot more fiber and is healthier for us because it has more vitamins and minerals.0 -

I think I'm more amused at the complete lack of understanding for how fat plays more of a role in BM's than fiber. It's like this "oh I'm behind on my daily...- eat more fiber" crisis- and then they wind up really backed up- go eat some five guys you nit wit.0 -
I hear you, but remember - its really easy for a person to be misinformed when we live in a society where half of all American's believe in ghosts and only 40% of Americans accept evolutionary science -- and evolution acceptance is even worse when identified by party. And then, you have an industry which packages and sells the same fad-diet formula of health misinformation year after year after year after year.nakedraygun wrote: »

lol! well nakedraygun, the millennials will make up 75% of the workforce by 2025 and all of those problems with American society will be changing...
I doubt mellennials will identify nearly as much with these crazy dinosaur parties that are truly identical. Anddd in our need for immediate gratification we have immediate access to information - accepting evolution is a no brainier - that will certainly be changing.
..but I do believe there is potential for our vast universe to house alien life... maybe not intelligent but def alien :disagree:

I am Cuban and was born and raised on white rice. Since I am trying to get healthier (and lose a lot of weight), I tried brown rice. YUCK!
The person that said to get a rice cooker was correct...that is the ONLY way to get delicious, fluffy rice. The secret is to add an extra cup of water and some salt. You can also throw in a couple of garlic cloves. Great. Now I am craving rice!0 -
That be would be awesome if millennials not only become more accepting of science, but also became more skeptical of other claims, but I don't think anyone should be doing a victory dance yet. Take the United Kingdom for example, where "compilation of some sociological studies indicates that roughly 30-40% of the British population does not have a belief in a god, but only 8% self identify as convinced atheist" yet according to this poll "more than half of those taking part (52 per cent) said they believed in the supernatural, a marked increase on the two previous comparable studies, in 2009 and 2005, which both found a level of around 40 per cent" believe in the paranormal.MrTolerable wrote: »nakedraygun wrote: »

That is shocking, it still though is very unpopular to come out saying you are an atheist.. for example at my company some executives have prayer stuff in their office or have you go to church for networking etc. - and my point is that the younger guys like me are largely atheist or at least agnostic however we certainty can not be vocal about it, nor argue or disagree.
One nice thing about being an atheist is you don't have to proselytize to get people to believe what you believe, if it makes them happy and feel a sense of artificial worth - I just smile and go along with it.
I was taking a big deal client out to eat last Friday who asks me to pray before the meal in front of him and a few of his employees and despite knowing it was foolish I certainly went through the motions - I think atheism and reason is on the rise, at least gaining traction - all my former acquaintances from church largely aware of how nonsensical it all is and that Catholics are just as cult-like as the Muslims - however at this point it is not a social norm to be vocal about atheistic beliefs unless you are a celebrity .
We will see, but I am certainly a long-term optimistic. Especially since science continues to show a universe bigger and bigger, with potential multi-verses, parallel universes, the size and scope - it is eventually going to click for people.0 -

I know- what are these people thinking.
dear poster.. please read the rest of this thread- because most of the health benefits are negligible compared to white rice.I read this post the other day. Hope it helps you out.

secondly I don't believe anyone who toutes a "health" list and lists" makes a good baby food" as point as credible. Not everyone has babies- or cares- it's a completely asinine thing to say in a list like that.0 -
And I'm out. The author wasted no time with a straw man in the first paragraph, tells me there's little to be profited by reading the rest of the article."The majority of consumers typically choose white rice over brown rice because of the difference of appearance. While it’s true white rice looks so much more delicious than brown rice, it doesn’t mean it’s the healthier alternative."0 -
This thing's still going?0

I like all types of rice. However, I try to eat more brown rice for several reasons. White rice has been shown to bring on rapid increases in blood sugar levels (this is especially important for diabetics to be aware of. Brown rice has more fiber and more magnesium, manganese, and zinc and it's the only grain that contains vitamin E.0
-
White rice has a higher glycemic load than brown rice (possibly due to the additional fiber in brown rice). My husband is diabetic and white rice causes his blood sugar to spike even more than pasta. We eat brown rice, but buy the instant variety (Success Rice and Minute Rice both make it) because brown rice takes forever to cook. Since we don't eat that much of it (only 1/2 cup cooked for a serving), we don't mind the extra expense of buying the instant version. I prefer the taste of white rice myself and if I eat out on my own, I choose white rice. Overall, I don't think rice is especially nutritious compared to other starches such as potatoes or even pasta. Unless you have to restrict carbs for some reason, all things in moderation.0

Has OP cooked the rice yet?0

Martin Luther King had a dream that one day, his rice wouldn't be segregated on the dinner plate, that white rices and brown rices could come together in perfect unison, kind of like having a sandwich with one slice white bread and one slice wheat bread.0
