White Rice causes the beetus

Yup, that is what one study claimed. And it made paleo followers and low carbers everywhere rejoice. But is it good science? Not really.

The most generous way I can spin it would be that this study, using pooled cohorts that left out tremendously important controls and considerations, when analyzed, suggested that white rice consumption increases the risk of diabetes development in Asian, but not Western, populations.

The worst way to spin it? The fact the cohorts used to determine this study's conclusions failed to consider incredibly relevant diabetes confounders like family history of diabetes, socioeconomic status, and dietary consumption patterns, including the dietary consumption of other categories of refined grains, makes quantifying the effect on diabetes development due to white rice consumption from this data set impossible.

Diabetes must be raging in Japan.

Oh, wait. It isn't.

But it's true.

Eat enough white rice and a guarantee you'll get diabetes.

Also broccoli is dangerous in huge amounts.

Really? I usually eat white rice. I should stop then.

Red rice. It's high in fiber.
