Health risks
White rice is considered a high glycemic index food or fast carb. This means it is rapidly broken down into sugar in the body. This can contribute to insulin resistance, glucose spikes after eating white rice and was shown that eating white rice five times a week increased the risk for type 2 diabetes. Brown rice is lower on the glycemic index and actually decreases the risk of diabetes for those who ate two servings per week.

When its part of your staple. Its just a filler food for poor ppl in other countries. I know alot about white rice. Occasional eaters it may not affect. But when its part of your diet everyday. If you aren't the healthiest eater = over weight ect it really contributes to diabetes. I know alot of ppl who have improved just from quitting eating it.
