Polished Thin Rice: Experts Warn of Blood Sugar Rise, Nutrient Loss

• Daily consumption of thin (polished) rice can lead to serious health risks, including increased blood sugar, according to experts.
• Experts suggest that much of the "thin rice" sold is coarse rice that has been repeatedly polished, destroying its nutritional value.
• The nutritious outer layer (bran) of the rice is often removed for rice bran oil, further depleting its health benefits.
• To ensure proper nutrition, experts recommend carefully selecting rice and occasionally consuming coarse, reddish varieties instead of only white, thin rice.

Why It Matters: Polished thin rice lacks nutrients, increasing blood sugar risks; experts advise unpolished rice.
