Brown Rice Lowers Diabetes Risk
Filed in archive Diet , Research on June 14, 2010
© Rob QldAccording to a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health, consumption of brown rice is linked to lower diabetes risk.
By replacing as little as a third of a daily serving of white rice with an equal amount of brown rice may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Consequently, replacing white rice with other types of whole grains can lower the risk of diabetes even more.
The said study claims to be the first to specifically examine white rice and brown rice in relation to diabetes risk among Americans. According to Dr. Qi Sun, who did the research:
"Rice consumption in the U.S. has dramatically increased in recent decades. We believe replacing white rice and other refined grains with whole grains, including brown rice, would help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes."
Study findings were published online in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

Brown rice, and coarser, more aldente rice can help with glycemic levels and diabetes management (at least compared to enriched, white rice!)
