Eating White Ric Increases Risk of Diabetes

Rice is an important part of many people’s dies. Researchers from Harvard School of
Public Health in Massachusetts have released a report about rice. It shows that eating white
rice increases the risk of type two diabetes. However, eating brown rice reduces the risk of
the disease.

The World Health Oorganization says more than two hundred twenty million people
worldwide have diabetes. Type two diabetes result when the bdy cannot effectively use the
sugar it producea. Then, WHO conducted study about it. The study found that the people who
ate fiive or more serving of white rice per week had seventeen percent increased risk of
developing two diabetes. But those who ate two or ore serving brown rice a week had n
eleven percent reduced risk of getting the disease.

Brown rice is the grain in its natural from. White rice results after it has been refined.
This involes removing the outer cover , including the husk, bran and germ . Only the inner
white is left. Ehite risk is often enriched to replace some nutrients lost during the refining
procrss.

Researchers report that the outer parts of brown rice slow down thwe work of the
body’s digestive enzymes into starch. This menas tha the release of sugar into the
bloodstream is slower after eating brown rice compared to white rice. They also say less
refined grains more nutritional vaue than refined grains and replacing white rice with whole
likr whole wheat or barley could result in a thirty-six percent lower chance of developing
type two diabetes. Hey say people should replace white rice and other refined carbhohydrates
with whole grain whenever possible.
