That is true; Why do they refine Rice ?

 

a. Brown White was considered to be inferior; white rice superior

(opposite is true_)

 

b. White Rice has a considerably longer shelf life;

 

c. by extracting the Bran and the Rice Bran Oil

 

THE RICE COMPANIES MAKE A TRIPLE PROFIT BY SELLING WHITE RICE

 

A. THEY SELL WHITE RICE TO US

B. THEY SELL RICE BRAN TO NUTRITONAL COMAPNIES (people and pets

C. THEY SELL RICE BRAN OIL TO NUTRIONAL COMPANIES

 

If the Rice companies sold us Brown Rice; they would lose money

 

because WE WOULD GET THE RICE BRAN OIL AND THE RICE BRAN

 

The Nutrients of Rice are on the outside of the kerneel; amazing !

 

As a vegetarian I eat mostly Brown Rice and Beans on a daily basis

 

No doubt the refiend Rice is not good; but Brown Rice is a Blessing; a

fact, its not just rice, it the thing that everybody in Bangladesh,

all the asian countries that suffer from diabetes due to rice is

because its POLISHED Rice. White Rice is nothing but refined rice.

Its stripped off all the good contents, similar to All Purpose Flour

(Which is wheat flour minus the nutrients).
