- White rice is missing more than just fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Phytonutrients, such as gamma oryzanol, in brown rice may help explain the clinical benefits, and naturally pigmented rice varieties may be even healthier.

Switching from white rice to brown rice enables overweight individuals to significantly reduce their weight, their waist size, their blood pressure, and the level of inflammation within their bodies. That sounds like it deserves a video, no? On its way! Stay tuned for Is it Worth Switching from White Rice to Brown? (nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it...)

Dr Greger, I wish I could sufficiently express how much I appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping humans become as healthy as possible. Much love to you and your family.
black rice is best thing i discovered....its delicious!!
+Katie Pecotich Yeah but unfortunately very expensive
+Mats The Vegan Gym Rat I live around the corner of a Food Depot and they have a whole Spanish section, you can by huge bags of white, brown, red, and black rice (maybe like 10 lb bags) for $5 to $8.50. If it's expensive maybe you can just do half and half with some other kind of rice?
Mats The Vegan Gym Rat not as expensive as the process stuff IMO, to make it last longer just use half black half brown rice...its the flavour & texture you can't beat though, and the more popular it becomes, the cheaper it will get, I never use to be able to buy it from my local grocer, now they stock it, soooo happy :)
+Katie Pecotich i agree! a staple in my new regimen :D
***** oh man I need to move, you guys get all the good stuff :(
Rice is life, all day everyday!
Was just about to comment the same hahaaha
I switched over to brown rice years ago when someone told me about short grain brown rice, much more palatable. Now I mix my brown rice with black and red rice
thank you 4 the video Doc
I love and appreciate your videos so much. Thank you for all that you do and you are a bit funny too! I just love rice. when I eat it it makes me feel so good and happy... seriously! great to know it's very healthy too!!
Dr. Gregger, you provide wonderful content and tips for the public. What I want to see is how you adapt this knowledge to your life. Can you please do a What I Eat in a Day video?
Love to mix white & brown rice in my cooker. Also add shredded mushrooms, carrots & onions. Maybe a bit of saffron too.
rice is life!! i love all kinds of rice though enjoy brown a lot more than white
I love all rice
Can you do a video on the effects of working off shifts? or How to negate the effects.
Purple rice is so good !
Thanks for the tip about putting a handful of lentils in the rice in the rice cooker. Koreans often make a mixed grain rice but you must soak it first.
This is what i had as my main dish today
Black/Red Rice cooked 2 gether is just amazing }:o)
I agree. However the flavour of Basmati or Jasmine rice is very nice...CMJ Canada
I prefer white rice if I'm making a curry, but lately I've been craving brown rice. I also love to change it up with wild rice, and black & red/pink rice. Any rice is life! 🍚💪
what about whole grain P.F. Chang's style?
That's my favorite
Could you please make a video about kwashiorkor?
I'm thankful that i live in a place with sufficient amount of different rice from white, red and black, i eat rice on daily basis..i preferred red rice for longevity and taste good as well..
Doctor, I've refrained from eating too much brown rice because of the arsenic that is in it. Have you got any additional info on that?
you always cook with red or black rice, good for you, I have yet to see it on sale.
Black glutinous rice is my favorite.
I need to get some brown rice asap!😁🍚
I love this channel!
well, am already a Blueberrian in the summer.....but now I have more of a reason to eat even more black and red and brown rice in the winter and fall times when I really eat more cooked foods.....yummy
I have tried black rice pudding but never thought of it as a staple food.
'been rocking the red rice. Love it now I'm used to it .
+Disco Nouvo Can you describe the taste? I want to know before I buy a 5 lb bag, lol
Cooking For My Vegan Kid it's kind of like the difference between eating whole grain bread and refined wonder white bread. I also found red rice is better with an extra half cup of water when you cook it :D
Okay does anyone know a good source for the colorful rice options that's not high in arsenic? Nutritionfacts.org has several videos warning about rice and arsenic and then there's this! So where oh where can I purchase this colorful rice that is safe
I love black rice! Always eat the darker foods.
Can you please do a video on sprouting or soaking nuts, beans, and seeds.?
he already has search sprouting on his website...the gist of it is they aren't any more nutritious than consuming cooked
+Andrew Perry Here is the link to one video he has done on sprouting versus cooked beans nutritionfacts.org/video/cooked-beans-or-sprouted-beans/
Andrew Perry however broccoli seeds are a powerhouse of sulforaphane
Hi NutritionFacts,
is there a difference in insulin spike with brown/black/purple rice?
Very interesting! I'm defo gonna use more brown and less white rice. 🐷
What about add some turmeric when you
Cooking withe rice
I always do that my rice looks kind of yellow test very good
hey Dr. Greger! I have a question for you. Are low HDL levels actually bad? I am vegan, eat lots of raw food with some cooked food, no processed food, no table salt only himilayan, mostly organic, etc but have low HDL levels. thanks in advance
We have all the colors here in Chiang Mai, Thailand! Best rice in the world!!!
+Roy Alan It certainly is :)
love the thai hom mali! 😀
glad you mentioned your rice cooker because I was just thinking about this, what setting do you put the black and purple rice? mine only has settings for brown and white
Did you ever figure it out?
@@CarasGaladhon lol I don't think so but I'd say to use the brown rice setting because it's better to have rice a little too soft than too hard
I get my brown rice for 69¢ a lb. at the Grocery Outlet and it's fresh because they have a quick turnover there. I go through about 15 lbs. per month. But red and black rice are super expensive starting at $4 a lb. and up.
If there's a Vietnamese supermarket near you try that.
Doug S There definitely isn't an oriental market near me.
I love black rice, of all the rices it has the most to offer in the flavour department. Red rice is slightly tastier than brown but black is the real winner.
What about the arsenic content. I've avoided rice after watching your videos on the subject .
What about the arsenic
Great video! Any differences on which type of lentils are best?
red. more color, more antiox.
I ate a sweet potato today and was wondering if eating it with the skin would have been better, particularly for digestive reasons?
0:55 that yellow thing looks strange
Lel
+sooooooooDark yeah i thought it: looks like a fuzzy wang
+sooooooooDark Minds out of the gutter!!! =^..^=
Would this translate similarly to quinoa? I usually just get the white color, would it be better to get the tri-color packages?
Are the antinutrients that found in brown rice relevant?
you add lentils with rice at the start of the cooking process?
I've still got some wild rice, multicolored quinoa, amaranth, and non-GMO corn kernels for popping I haven't eaten. Wild rice goes good with broccoli and beans. Wild rice may take almost as much time to cook as some types of presoaked dried beans. The wild rice gives off, to me, a somewhat tea-like earthy pleasant aroma as it cooks. If I can break away some more from the pb with celery, bell pepper, and apples craze I've got going on then maybe I'll eat more rice and whatever. Good info about the rice though. I've heard it said, you should eat a rainbow. It just goes to show.
And no mention of the various arsenic levels?
+Jake The Snake Exactly. I remember reading an article on naturalnews talking about the arsenic found in various brands of brown rice.
www.naturalnews.com/048560_arsenic_levels_brown_rice_toxic_grains.html
in other words, don't be racist when it comes to rice
+LiveDigitalStyle wow, hilarious...not
+Corvux IX thanks for taking your time to post this reply. I appreciate.
+LiveDigitalStyle Dont be racist when it comes to nature. The darker the colour is usually the more nutritious from rice to salt to flour to vegetables and it goes on and on :) Bleached stuff are toxic.
+Cooking For My Vegan Kid lol
Cooking For My Vegan Kid Now that's good :)
I love quinoa
White rice was a staple for me during the first year of being vegan, but I have been eating brown rice instead as of this year and have noticed that my digestion is much better, it supports my training very well and is delicious and gives more flavor and texture to meals compared to white.
+Olhildr Yeah, brown is much nicer. I wondered why white rice is more popular, I guess it's just because it lasts longer.
+Kombaiyashii
Taste taste taste
Taste so much better than brown
Does anyone know what red rice tastes like? I saw a 3 kilo bag at the Asian market, but I don't want to buy that much, if it tastes like brown rice. I'm just not fond of the texture of brown, even though it's better for me.
The only problem with BR is inorganic arsenic(carcinogen) and from what ive heard because WR has much less because its more processed. Any opinions?
White rice and refined white flour both act on me like refined sugar...cause burning in my gullet....whole grain rice I can have all I want.
Please comment on the arsenic levels now being found in domestically grown rices.
Thanks for this info!
Tried red rice today for the first time. It is delicious. I have had black rice and brown rice and they are delicious as well.
Recent magazine articles in Germany have warned of the dangers of arsenic in rice, and recommended white rice over brown due to the lower arsenic content. Any thoughts?
what about the arsenic in rice?
you can reduce it significantly by soaking it in water or by rinsing.
what about the arsenic in whole-grain rice (red, brown, black) ?
Right? I just watched a whole video on this other day and I just wish someone would go home and test all of the rice in the cabinet so that we have some real world comparison of how much rice is actually having arsenic in it
Contradictionsuh
G O O D O N E!
I’ve already started eating red rice. I now have evidence to keep doing it.
in germany when you google "roter reis" (red rice), there are warnings to not eat red rice all over the place, i knew it was wrong ^^
+Lichtblick What do the warnings say about eating red rice?
+IWishUDidntNoMyName i only find articles about red rice supplements that work like cholesterol reducing drugs and have some side effects such as muscle damagr bone damage liver damage and so on according to those articles
Are the warnings to do with red yeast rice which the fda banned in 2007?
Red yeast rice...not plain red rice...the yeast that grows on red yeast rice has similar effects to statins (is a statin) and so you can overdose on it. It does have fewer side effects than statins, though...and more nutrients...so...eat @ your own risk!
Und noch Mal für alle Deutschen. Es gibt einen Unterschied zwischen rotschaligen Reissorten und fermentierten roten Reis der traditionell als roter Farbstoff verwendet wird. Auf dem fermentierten Reis wachsen Schimmelpilze die Cholesterin senkend wirken. Eine Verbindung wird als Statin rezeptpflichtig verkauft die andere als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel und als solches wenig bis gar nicht kontrolliert.
Also higher in arsenic...
+NoCommentChick True!
Really? What's your source.
+NoCommentChick The arsenic comes from all the air pollution which you already breathe in most parts of the world. Rice grows in water which makes it more susceptible to contamination than other foods.
+Mario V check out
www.naturalnews.com/048560_arsenic_levels_brown_rice_toxic_grains.html
xMRavenx Thank you for taking the time, but that is not a science oriented source. It's just another site promoting scientifically unsound BS like detox diets...
The information is also pretty bad, actually. Arsenic concentrations in brown rice aren't a natural thing of the product, it depends on its place of origin.
Consumer reports just played scare tactics here. What about this instead:
_"by 2010, 88 percent of all chickens raised for human consumption in the US were given the arsenic-based drug roxarsone."_
_"when you feed arsenical drugs to livestock, the arsenic doesn’t just magically disappear. Instead, trace amounts of arsenic fed to chicken are excreted in their manure - and when hundreds of thousands of chickens are raised on a factory farm year after year, the arsenic can accumulate pretty quickly, eventually contaminating soil, groundwater and surface waters"_
Your choices. Your life. Your health.
I never new there were other colors of rice besides white, brown and the yellowish wild rice.
All sounds good but i saw article in paper the other day that brown rice and other white rice is full of arsenic.Pretty much cleanest rice out there is basmati rice which comes from poorer countries which can't afford pesticides.So which is better?Eat rice full of arsenic or eat bit fatter basmatti rice?
I have a problem with brown rice. Every time I eat it i get horrible stomach cramps, and bloating. I’ve tried making the same meals, just with brown vs white rice. It’s definitely the rice. I never see videos addressing this, I’d like to eat brown rice but my stomach hates me when I do. Love some insight on this issue.
What about roasting white rice until it's brown then cooking it?
I'm eating rice right now
I think it's also my experience that brown rice is more satiating then white rice, kinda like with whole wheat flour bread compared to wonder bread.
Is black rice an American term for wild rice? The long, black grains of rice that have to cook for about an hour?
I’m on a low glycemic diet and I’m really confused about the difference between white rice, wild rice, jasmine rice and brown rice as far as as its insulin loader it’s glycemic load. Which race is really the best for you and which brand of that rice is really the best and why who should be consuming what kinds of rice and why?
You can blunt glycemic rise by pairing foods with higher index with foods with protein, fiber and/or fat. So a regular portion rice eaten with vegetables and tofu has a lower glycemic load than plain white rice eaten alone. Glycemic load is misleading and may encourage people to avoid eating foods that are healthy like rice. Eat vegetables (as many as you can), whole fruits (3 a day), whole starches (quinoa, barley, brown rice, boiled/baked potato/yam) and protein like beans, tofu. Don't eat anything made in factory or highly processed like bread, fake meat, etc Health improves, weight reduces, and good for the budget. Those things are almost all very low on the glycemic index.
I bought 6 bags of black rice recently because my local Kroger had it on sale for $2 per 1lb bag. It says it's a product of Thailand. Is this high in arsenic?
+Astral Purpose Google
I need to mix my rice. Next one will be either brown or black
I ate Plato ar a kid
I read Plato as an adolescent
I eat Plato scented rice as an aduld
Wild and Black are probably the healthiest but brown is really tasty. Jasmine Black and Basmati Brown i love em. Oh don't forget Sprouted Rice which is said to be the healthiest for the human body. Sprouts = Key Enzymes.
I use Basmati rice
Never seen brown Basmati on the shelves
Myriam David Yeah i order mine online its hard to find good stuff at regular stores.
+Turboz Raw
You right about that
I will check my health nuts store
Maybe they carry it
Thanks
but white rice tastes soooo good
Is black rice the same as wild rice? I always thought so, now I don't know.
+ShushLorraine No, wild rice is not actually a rice at all, it's part of the grass family.
omg Arabic subs :D thank youuuuuuuu
what about eating a potato with skin on vs skin off?
What about arsenic ?
I think it depends where the rice is grown?
+Edward Judge Arsenic in rice is a problem.
The following tips should help reduce the arsenic content of your rice:
-Use plenty of water when cooking.
-Wash the rice before cooking. This method may remove 10-28% of the arsenic.
-Brown rice contains higher amounts of arsenic than white rice. If you eat large amounts of rice, the white variety may be a better choice.
-Choose aromatic rice, such as basmati or jasmine.
-Choose rice from the Himalayan region, including North India, North Pakistan and Nepal.
-If possible, avoid rice that is grown during the dry season. The use of arsenic-contaminated water is more common during that time.
+Tessa vdL thank you very much
+Edward Judge Tiny amounts, just like apples, etc. If you are really concerned, soak the rice for at least 7 hours, rinse off, then boil your rice and rinse off with hot water once it's cooked.
Cameron Jeremiah Thanks, I didn't see others warning of arsenic before posting, glad I saw your link. That said, with all the wholesome and delicious grains available to us, why even bother with rice?
0:53 :D The yellow...
Is Jasmine rice included in white rice category. I have been thinking it hasn't been stripped of minerals and hasn't been bleached.
there is white, brown and black jasmine rice ..
Ahhh brown jasmine is my fav
Can you do an article on Manganese? every website says 11mg is the upper limit and exceeding that can be harmful. 1 cup of uncooked brown rice is 6.9 mg which is a lot. I have a meal plan saved on cronometer which uses white rice in one of the meals and that entire day is under 11mg of Manganese (10.6 mg), but if I replaced the white rice with brown rice it would bump the intake of Manganese up to 15.5mg for that day.
+crazywaffleking are you cooking the rice? One cup of cooked brown rice only has about 1.967 mg of manganese, whereas one cup of uncooked brown rice has about 5.278 mg of manganese. So if you are cooking the rice then you should be fine.
+Annie Newton 1 cup of uncooked rice turns into 2-3 cups of cooked rice. Obviously I cook the rice but the portion size is starting with 1 cup uncooked.
"Putting Twinkies to shame" LOL!
Does (dark) wild rice have the same benefits?
+Trog Lobyte .....It's even healthier because it not grown in CHINA where they use contaminated water!
+houndjog Many, many rice varieties are not grown in China, or elsewhere where arsenic contaminated water is not used for irrigation. Texas-grown rice is broadly contaminated with all kinds of things, for example. www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/Metals/ucm319924.htm Please stop with the slightly jingoistic hysterics; you're not helping.
tamcon72 The FDS list does not list Texas specifically. Since most USA origin wild rice is from Wisconsin are you saying not to eat rice from there?
Trog Lobyte The most broadly distributed brown rice in the States is Texas grown; where US is listed next to a brown variety, especially short grain, Texas can be assumed. If you look at the table, wild rice ranks high on asrsenic load. Here's the most recent thing I could find about wild rice: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969799004647 I suppose avoiding it would be prudent. I don't buy wild rice from Roland, for example, because that's not really wild, but cultivated, and suffers from the same field contamination as regular rice. Real wild rice is hand harvested mostly by Native Americans trained in the process, and comes from running waters in Minnesota(also some is from Wisconsin and Michigan), and is less likely to be contaminated. Paddy grown rice is grown in still water, and this is a huge part of the problem. It is vulnerable to all kinds of run-off and dumping from the atmosphere.
tamcon72 .... most of the arsenic is found in the skin - making white rice a healthier option!
The problem is also cocking time. While most white rice I buy is done in 10-12 minutes, the brown rice (at least the one I have access to) was still hard after 30 minutes.
Rice viagra?
+Tasha NZ haha
+greenytaddict ;)
Michael Haimerl yes it takes 45 minutes in most cases, and by that time any of the anthocyanins I would think would be destroyed. Much as blueberries' power is, when baked in a muffin or pie.
most black rice varieties are mid-sized which absorb water less easily.. cooking time for long grain black rice is around 20-25 minutes.
But I see that brown rice has only a six month shelf life, so if I get a 25# sack, it goes bad long before I can consume it.
I was gong to boil up this black rice I found in my cabinet...and then it started moving.
But wasn't there a previous video on rice (especially from China) being high in lead and other carcinogens ?
"why don't people choose brown over white?" For me it's the arsenic that's said to be within the bran of brown rice - any thoughts on this?
+causaljoe In france, White rice is 7 times cheaper. that's why I buy white basmati rice.
+causaljoe White is bleached and worse so
Brown rice is harder to digest for some people.
+Kyla Anderson you have to keep at it until your gut bacteria changes and then digestion becomes easier.
+Turboz Raw White rice isn't bleached; that's flour. White rice is just dehulled, like wheat for white flour milling, and polished. You can buy machines in Asia to do this at home, even.
I, like another commentor, would like to know how does, "wild rice" stand up to brown rice and as a healthier food?
Marina Capri apparently wild rice doesn't absorb arsenic the way rice does, or perhaps it's bc it's not grown as a mono-crop, in man made paddies, but harvested from wild areas in boats, removed from pollution, where there are plenty of other plants to help filter the water.
Laurie Paris, The purity of wild rice as you stated does seem a logical reality. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we can do that with all food that we go to eat?
***** Agreed! We are polluting our planet at an alarming rate. Our food supply is adulterated with chemicals. It's really no surprise that cancer rates have skyrocketed.
If brown rice is soaked overnight, it cooks very quickly on the next day (about half the time!) and less water is needed. Usually 1 cup of soaked brown rice and 1 1/2 cups of water are enough. I use a pressure cooker (10 min. cooking time and 10 min. in the closed pot to use the rest of the heat).
Thanks for the great tip
Brown rice usually take to long for cooking
I use Basmati rice done in 20 minutes or uncle Ben instant brown rice
Don't really like the texture of brown rice under my tongue kind of rough
I know it is good for you but find it quite unappealing
Thanks for the tip
Myriam David There are different kinds of brown rice. However, uncle Ben's rice has little nutrition value because it was quite processed (at least twice) and Basmati rice also doesn't have a lot left after processing, but it is a bit better. I'm talking about the consequences on health.
I'm eating brown rice, I wish I could afford to eat black rice. It's expensive as hell here in Finland.
This just goes to show you the power of rice in general, even if it is white. Hands down white rice is better for you than the standard American diet of french fries, tacos, and mash potatoes.
Nothing wrong with potatoes
+Derick Young Nothing wrong with PLAIN potatoes, I think.
the studies on gamma oryzanol for strength training have produced no results worth noting.
IM FROM PERU WE EAT MORE WHITE RICE THAN ANYTHING LOL
Didn't Dr. Kepner founder of the rice diet pretty much prove white rice was ok? Honey has white rice beat for shelf live, I think it last 5000 years and still good.
So, since pytochemical content of white rice vs. brown rice is almost identical & I eat enough of fiber already and colorful plants, I guess I will stick with my white rice...
some nutrients like gamma oryzanol and other pigmented nutrients are predominant in brown rice. when it comes it micro nutrients, verity is important. eating the same veggies day in day out won't give you a healthy mix. I suggest you try out brown rice.
+Kishan Patel thanks for info. I am trying to eat brown rice at least once per forthnight. As you said, variety is the key.
+Morfeus that's great to hear
Purple Rice ?
