Guest guest Posted April 24, 2000 Report Share Posted April 24, 2000 I've forgotten the food biochemistry I once knew so I'm not an " informed one " . I think in general that eating whole foods rather than processed ones is a better way to eat. Brown rice will have many more minerals and vitamins, eg vit B, than rice that has had that outer layer rubbed off. I do eat sushi however as my takeaway treat. I vaguely remember a study done once of a tribe whose staple diet was rice. They began to eat the white rice when civilisation made it possible and started suffering symptoms of malnutrition. This is heresay stuff I know. I hope someone comes up with the facts and figures. Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2000 Report Share Posted April 24, 2000 Gail, this makes sense. I keep being told over and over, NO PROCESSED FOODS. Guess I didn't think about the white rice being processed. duh! So if I am in a position where there is only white rice, it is not going to kill me, just won't nutritionally make the grade, I suppose. I am glad to know the outer shells are just rubbed off - guess I had wondered about possibly it being treated chemically which would be bad. Hope the info on the MSM helps. Be well.

Michele, You can look at Dr. Mercola's No Grain Diet, Elaine Gottschall's Specific Carbohydrate Diet, and Jan Kwasniewski's Optimal Nutrition (Homo Optimus) Diet. All those diets exclude grains completely. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 >>I'm guessing it would be hard to search out a website that would talk >>about the bad effects from too much brown rice. Purely anecdotal, but my son can't digest it. Then I read how the Japanese have little hand polishers and use the bran to feed to chickens or to ferment vegetables. On paper bran has vitamins but traditionally white rice has been preferred. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a container with a big stick that they pushed up and down. He says white rice was called " silver rice " then. He grew up eating white rice and brown rice is considered difficult to digest. The rice shop I used to buy rice from in Japan had different grades of polished rice: 50% or 70% (or 100% polished of course). We used to buy the 50%. Health food restaurants usually served brown rice that had been cooked in a pressure cooker (they like softer rice than we do). Friends told me that when brown rice became popular in the 70s, the label on the packed lunch they bought said you had to chew each mouthful 100 times and he and his friend sat and dutifully chewed 100 times! I think I mentioned before that in the alternative health world there, brown rice is once again popular but it is fermented in a 2 to 3 day process where the water is changed a couple of times. So what parts of the world do they traditionally eat brown rice? I think in Japan, they mixed brown rice with other grains like millet. I don't know when they started eating white rice regularly though. Filippa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'm guessing that any kind of rice has a high degree of starch in it, and that that's why (we and) the candida love it so much. However, I can't imagine anyone who doesn't cheat from time to time on the average candida-killing diet. I, myself, cheat sometimes; but I try to do it only at night-time when I'm about to go to bed. I might have a cookie that has 1-3 grams of sugar in it; and then I can be 'drunk and miserable' only in my sleep. LOL In any case, perhaps in the future you might take some kind of antifungal immediately before or after your rice-eating sprees? You know, do something to poison the candidas' food supply? Hope this helps.

White rice is much worse. Ideally you should eat it with other things, vs. just by itself, but there are much worse things you could be eating. _jason_ _________ ________ _______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ _ _ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Have you tried white basmati rice Lilly? It's easier to digest. Plus you can add indian spices to it like tumeric, cardamon pods, cloves etc. YUMMY > > i basically stick to the candida diet however when i have no food in > the house i eat or when i crave i have brown rice is it really that > bad am i making my yeast much worse does anyone know i know it feeds > it thats the only time i cheat with brown rice hehe =) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I also use brown rice protein and rice bran oil in shakes, which is really healing for the intestinal lining. Some stuff to consider besides just straight up brown rice: Rice Essence (Jarrow), Rice Protein (NutriBiotic) and Rice Bran Oil (Loriva). Alison :-) > > K> 2.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Brown RiceBrown rice is more nutritious and a much better option than white rice. Unlike white rice it offers you vitamin E (important for healthy immunity, skin, and many essential functions in your body) and is high in fiber. White rice is stripped of its fiber and most nutrients too. In its whole brown rice form, it contains high amounts of the minerals manganese, magnesium, and selenium. It also contains tryptophan, which helps with sleep. Brown rice can easily replace white rice in almost any recipe: soups, stews, and pilafs. It is an excellent choice for those who are gluten-sensitive or celiac. Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I used wild rice which is really a seed and has a nutty taste. I is chewy in a pleasant satisfying way. Joan Is brown rice allowed while treating yeast infection? Is there any other grain that is not an yeast feeder which we could use while on yeast infection treatment. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 All rice is a seed and seeds have high amount of starch which ultimitly feed candida and fungus. Seeds have some other negative aspects as well and one very huge element, turning off the bodies enzyme production to break down proteins. Another is the high amounts of insoluble fiber which leads to digestive illnesses.
