A member asked:
Why is brown rice supposed to be better for you than white rice? should they both be avoided if you're trying to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brown rice: Is rice w/the husks still on, where much of the nutrition lies. White rice does not have this so the starch is not buffered by the nutrients. Brown rice is better for us. Use in moderation if loosing weight, e.g., once a week. Peace and good health.
