Comment on Rice fuels diabetes and climate crises

Comments

Rice is probably the worst junk food in the world, with a GI of 90 and billion of people eating it, its negative impact on health on a global scale is just shockingly bad. I stopped eating that junk food a few years ago, couldn't feel better when I have other low GI high fiber carbs on every meal.

Saw some comments on the east vs west nonsense, this thread is about rice, although it is mainly eaten in the east, it is damage is on a global scale. We are talking about a food that has a GI of 90, one of highest in the world. It doesn't matter whether your skin color is white, yellow, blue or pink, keep eating junk food that has GI of 90 is going to cause you diabetes.

can you provide some source? Harvard says it's 73 ± 4 For comparison Potato: 78 ± 4, White bread: 75 ± 2 https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/glyce...

Wow, I was really surprised by rice's GI, thanks, I erroneously thought it was lower than white pasta.
