https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2016/09/19/diabetes-the-rice-you-eat-is-worse-than-sugary-drinks.aspxRice, in one form or another, is one of the most important staple foods in the world and has been for possibly thousands of years. If you are trying to keep from developing diabetes, you may want to take a close look at the rice you are eating.

It has the lowest glycemic numbers compared to other rices in the same pool. </p> <p>However, rice with lower arsenic levels include: &nbsp;white basmati rice from India, Pakistan or California and sushi rice grown in the United States. CR tests also found lower arsenic options for other grains such as amaranth, millet, and quinoa.</p> https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2016/09/19/diabetes-the-rice-you-eat-is-worse-than-sugary-drinks.aspx?ShowAllComments=True#8042079/19/2016 4:41:45 PM24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:804207DavidPierce<p>Dr. Mercola, sometimes you write that white rice is healthiest because it is free of toxins in the bran, and other times you say brown rice is healthiest. You have also posted that eating rice can actually lower diabetes in the long-run, but here you state that it raises blood sugar. I would like a consistent take on this, please.</p> https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2016/09/19/diabetes-the-rice-you-eat-is-worse-than-sugary-drinks.aspx?ShowAllComments=True#8041369/19/2016 9:26:57 AM24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:804136bubulah51<p>I&#39;d read that because of the arsenic issue, even with organic brands, white basmati rice from California is preferable. &nbsp;Is this not true?</p> https://blogs.mercola.com:443/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2016/09/19/diabetes-the-rice-you-eat-is-worse-than-sugary-drinks.aspx?ShowAllComments=True#8041299/19/2016 8:58:48 AM24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:804129Catplat<p>Shortest article ever!
