Summary
For decades, we’ve been told that brown rice is the healthier option. But what if that advice is wrong? In this episode, I dive into the surprising science behind the different types of rice, including how different varieties affect blood sugar, gut health, and inflammation. I’ll also share the results of a personal experiment I conducted that completely changed the way I think about rice.
This episode will make you think twice about:
- Which rice is actually the healthiest — and it's probably not the one you've been buying
- The hidden detail on your rice packaging that almost nobody checks
- A cooking method used across Asia for thousands of years that changes everything
- The connection between rice and a number on your blood panel most doctors ignore
- Whether any rice is truly safe if you have certain health conditions
