White rice is the product turned out to be a killer

Plain white rice is included in the food basket of many families, however, the study of modern nutritionists suggest that this is one of quite harmful foods.
One reason for this critical attitude that polished white rice covered with talc. Talc is still used by industries in the packaging of rice, and he, in turn - a powerful carcinogen. Japanese scientists recently established a direct link between cancer of the stomach (formed in many cases) - and the use of white polished rice. It was found that gastric cancer cells are coated with this substance.

The second "crime" of white rice to the modern mankind is that in addition to provoke cancer white rice also closely associated with Type II diabetes - thus, which is life. The reason - the high glycemic index of the product. In the United States we conducted an experiment on the results established that the use of polished rice more than five times a week (in portions of 150 g) raises the chances of getting diabetes by 17%. But that's not all.

White rice is pleasant to the taste, but in terms of nutritional value - even if forgotten about cancer and diabetes - his dignity poor. During the processing of a lost virtually all vitamins and trace elements, and with them valuable fiber and rice bran oil. All of this goes along with the bran, leaving starch grains. Therefore, in the past when, in some regions people ate only refined rice was spread serious disease - beriberi beriberi or B.
