Is White Rice Bad for You?

Very few things are bad for you when eaten in the correct proportions. One cup of rice, no matter the kind is an actual portion. Even white rice is good for you just not as good as brown rice. Brown rice has the bran still attached and the fiber in that helps it move through your body better. If you add higher fiber veggies to the white rice it would have about the same effect I would think.

hey nice topic. i think u'll get a lot of rensponse for this topic. and thnx in advance. and keep on making nice toppics like this. and keep up the gud work.

I prefer brown, even the fast cooking brown rice. I never heard of it being like glue, but without any fiber it converts very rapidly in your body raising your blood sugar high then crashing it. If you eat white rice along with lots of veggies, it probably is not that bad, though. I enjoy it, but I just know the other is better.

i hope not, i eat white rice almost everyday

Brown rice is more healthy than white rice, because white rice has less vitamins and minerals than brown rice. If I cook rice, I often mix white rice and brown rice.

who know's, we are all going to die of something, eat the rice

We eat it all the time, I have never heard it being bad for you, they say every food is bad now a days. Everything has some sort of side effect,it I worried about that I would be all worried out.

I'm not sure if it's that bad, but it's not the best. I think brown rice is healthier.
