Is eating a lot of rice bad for you?

Answer 1

So far I have been eating rice since childhood and it hasn't affected me in any bad way. I weigh 20 lbs. overweight, but, that's just been lately because i'm getting older and i'm not as active as I used to be. I used to weigh around 110 lbs. for a 5 foot 5 inch tall person and i've always eaten rice everyday. My family came from Asia and asians are known to eat rice everyday.

Answer 2

It's a carb, but at least one third of the world eats very little but rice. (Check out the World Hunger Association website). In a balanced diet, all carbs like pasta, potatoes and breads could be replaced with a rice dish. I would recommend using brown rice and it is higher in nutritional value and also has more fiber.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

too much of anything is bad, and that includes rice. you should always create a balance of eating wheat products (bread in your national form) just as many times a week as you eat rice.

it is full of starch and burns in your body as fat - so it contributes to weight addition as well. it is especially harmful for diabetics.
