Only because brown rice tastes nasty and you'll eat less of it.
Great. More affirmative action.
I already knew this but try getting brown rice at a Chinese restaurant. It would likely be white rice with soy sauce poured over it.
I’ll stick with my coffee and toast with real butter...
So it directly follow the Glycemic Index, with barley being quite a bit lower than brown rice, which is lower than white rice, which is lower than sugar.
Look up Chana Dal. That has a very small Glycemic Index value. It’s a little yellow pea/bean grown in India. My only concerns about it are its taste and the fact it has those phytoestrogens that aren’t always good for people.

Maybe I’m showing my ignorance here, but don’t Asians eat A LOT of white rice?
Do they show the same health problems?
Might something else be at work here? Or did I miss something?
Anyone who prefers white rice is obviously a racist.
Brown rice, duh.
And it has a better flavor - sort of a nutty flavor.
It has to be the water in Asia.
“Replacing white rice in your diet with brown rice may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
Only because brown rice tastes nasty and you’ll eat less of it.”
But Brown Rice takes Twice the Energy to cook.
When the Middleeast goes to war again and America has refused to use it’s own resources, Many will be shivering in the Dark. Because they can’t afford the energy to Heat or Light their Homes. Then the Beauty of White Rice will surface. We will need the extra Energy Bump to Fight the Cold and the reduced cooking time will be a Bonus.
To me you can’t beat white Basmati (tastes kinda like popcorn).
I agree, I just can not swallow brown rice, it sticks and won’t go down - lol
Smaller portions, more veggies, lower body weight overall in Asia. That’s my guess.

I always put some dehydrated milk and brown sugar into my white rice to avoid racism.
I mix equal parts of white and brown and it makes the brown taste better.
White rice vs. brown rice,
white salt vs. celtic sea salt,
white bread vs. whole wheat bread,
or
white sugar vs. sucanat.
Maybe it is only known in the south but I prefer yellow rice which is made with Saffron.
I like brown rice.
