IT’S NOT JUST about eating fewer calories, but eating healthy. Nutritionists agree that brown rice is healthier than white because the latter loses its nutrients during the polishing process.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that eating five or more servings of white rice per week was linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Replacing 50 grams of white rice with brown could lower the risk of the disease by 16 per cent.
