One of the things with lots of confusion surrounding it is rice – whether it’s good for you and which type, brown or white, is the better choice.
Surprisingly, most people get the answer wrong!
It’s not entirely their fault though; many have been given misleading advice by well-meaning but misinformed professionals who claim brown rice is healthier because it’s higher in fiber.
But guess what? That’s not entirely accurate, and in fact, brown rice might not be as great as you think!
Let’s dive into it together, shall we?
So, here’s the scoop:
Brown rice includes the hull of the rice plant, which indeed has some fiber, but it also contains some not-so-great stuff like lectins. These can upset your gut, make you feel foggy-headed, and even trigger autoimmune reactions in certain individuals. Yikes!
But wait, there’s more! Brown rice also packs a punch of toxic arsenic, mainly because it’s in the hull. Not exactly what you want on your plate, right?
Now, before you panic, let me reassure you about white rice. While it’s mostly starch, making it a fantastic energy source, especially for active folks, I’d advise a bit of caution, especially if you’re managing diabetes. Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels if you indulge in white rice regularly.
So, what’s the verdict? Well, in my humble opinion, white rice seems like the better choice overall.
