Diabetes risk: Switching to brown rice from white could cut the chances of developing the condition
Switching from white rice to brown rice could dramatically reduce your chances of developing diabetes, a study has found.
Wholegrain rice raises the body's blood sugar levels far less dramatically than white rice, which is little more than starch, according to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Their study, believed to be the first of its kind, found that replacing 50g (1.8oz), or a third of a serving, of white rice per day with brown rice would cut the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 16 per cent.
A switch to whole, unrefined grains should be recommended 'from from a public health point of view', the scientists added.
About 2.3million people in the UK have Type 2 diabetes, and numbers are rising.
There are fears that more than 4 million will have the condition by 2025, placing a 'terrifying' burden on the cash-strapped NHS.
People with diabetes have problems synthesising their sugar, and uncontrolled blood sugar levels can cause sufferers to fall into a coma, kidney failure, ulcers or nerve damage.

When I can, I love to get the 'Organic' brown rice which always lowered my blood sugar when I have used it although it's only a good price at Wally World and so since I am not trying to ask my dad for a ride there, we only talk when he has an 'agenda' and not just to talk and yet it was better for me than regular brown rice and higher in fiber and there is a company which has pasta which has 3 mg of fiber although I am going to write to the company who makes pasta which has 20-24mg of fiber per 2 ounces, if I remember right.

Lost - this article says the brown rice as opposed to white rice can prevent diabetes. Too late for us !

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
