Shock horror. Brown rice isn't more healthy than white.

According to a new study:

That isn't actually quite what it says.

It says it is slightly more healthy, but not enough so to matter.

And doesn't appear to reference any science to back it's claims up. Slow Friday folks?

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

But it does have more fibre

I think - seems to vary

 

[Cycleops]

Doesn't claim to be scientific but sod the science, you can now eat white rice with a clear conscience and without the healthy food police telling you what you should be eating

In mice?

No you can't - I've already filed a report to them, even though you might only be guilty of thought crime at this point.

Brown rice has a lower GI, so is absorbed more slowly. I personally don't like the taste.

And white rice varieties have different GI index Iirc, long grain, pudding etc worse than basmati.
Brown rice I like but takes forever to cook, so I buy the microwave sachet stuff, ditto wild rice

Brown rice I like but takes forever to cook,

indeed, even if you start cooking it the day before, it still tastes like it isn't quite done when the rest of your dinner is ready.

Basmati for me

A rice thread… well I didn’t expect this.

Basmati is the fastest rice

And it’s more aero

Just thought I should toss in the important cycling aspects.

Arborio won the Giro in 1928….

Just opened a letter and rice fell out. Think it must be from my Uncle Ben.

Was that the year Carnaroli was leading for 17 stages but crashed in the time trial?
