Is white rice more healthful than brown rice? - 07/28/14 08:30 AM
I have often encountered North Americans who condemn the Asian staple: white rice. In a hypocritical tone, they will say that all missionaries to the Asian lands should be teaching the people to eat brown rice instead. (I say "hypocritical" because they do not look at what they are eating in place of the Asian rice as their own principal source(s) of calories to see how their diet compares.)
While I have always defended the Asian diet based on its inclusion of many green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, and a wide variety of fruits; it turns out that the white rice may actually be more healthful than brown rice--or other grains, for that matter!
In an article online, I found some intriguing information. Visit the article HERE.
I also found that Dr. Mercola mentions some of the benefits of white rice HERE when comparing it against all other grains. He seems to promote it as the superior grain option.
Blessings,
