Thanks for posting the full article. That's very interesting research.
When I read the conclusion that you posted, I thought to myself "why"? Asian populations have been eating rice forever, but I guess they weren't eating over-refined or processed white rice as they do now. Actually many Australians eat a lot of rice too, but the generation before mine did not. I eat brown rice and basmati rice. Occasionally jasmine rice. Oh yes, sushi rice. (added later- which is basically short grain white rice I guess). :o Gosh, maybe I caused my daughter's insulin resistance. I was under the assumption that basmati rice was better for us than white rice, but I don't know anymore. Maybe someone reading this will know??? There were several points in the research that I found stood out for me. Quote:

But type 2 diabetes is not characterized by glycemic load. It is characterized by insulin resistance. Reducing intake of sugars, such as the amylose in rice, reduces the accumulation of blood glucose, but it does not reduce the insulin resistance which causes the buildup of blood glucose. Insulin resistance is more tied to carbohydrates like wheat which introduce dangerous opioid proteins. Glycemic load is merely the study author's opinion of a marker. Reducing rice would reduce glycemic load, but would do nothing about insulin resistance. ....meaning rice in moderation is a lot healthier than 99% of alternative carbohydrates. |
arsenic and rice
Speaking of RICE...
from the News Forum here today http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread206985.html I only buy rice from Asia. :eek: Just an aside, but I stopped eating all fish many years ago now, but back when I used to buy it, I noticed that most of the fish in take away fish shops was fish imported from Vietnam (despite the fact we are an island continent!) and I wouldn't buy it because I was concerned about the water quality/contamination from decades past. |
I read a study in 2016 that people from India or of Indian decent have a higher diabetes risk and I'v been told by people I know from India that they also have a ton of rice in the diet so I wonder if there's a connection...and yes I heard about the Arsenic in Rice.

Old post, but I saw it in passing. I've cut out rice altogether in recent years but I've also been a vegetarian now for about 4 years or more. I found that eating rice made me hungry no matter what I ate but probably because I don't use animal protein in curries or anything like that anymore. I use the brocolli and cauliflower "riced" and find that very good.
