Two large Harvard studies documented what we have known for a long time about whole grains. Regular consumption of brown rice resulted in a much lower incidence of diabetes than white rice. This has a greater significance in the orient, where rice can consist of 75% of the diet. But it is also relevant in the US, especially since a growing number of people have celiac disease or an intolerance to many grains. Rice is usually tolerated for such people, and brown rice is definitely the way to go.
