[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rice is not healthy. It keeps billions of people alive, but it’s not healthy. [/quote]

Sure it is. Billions of Asians can’t be wrong. It’s a staple because it has carbs and carbs are an important component of a good diet. I run 30-40 miles a week and eat rice or some other carb every day along with vegetables, fruits, protein. [/quote]

No it’s actually not healthy at all. [/quote]

Actually, it is.  The whole "but carbs are bad" is just plain stupid.

Rice is a rich source of carbohydrates, the body’s main fuel source. Carbohydrates can keep you energized and satisfied, and are important for fueling exercise. Brown rice, especially, is an excellent source of many nutrients, including fiber, manganese, selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins. Dietary Guidelines suggest that at least half of your grains be from whole grains, and brown rice is considered a whole grain. But even white rice has nutrients. It is considered a good source of folate. In short, YES, rice is a healthy staple that offers many nutrients.
