Why recommend white rice instead of brown rice?
Nutritionally, brown and white rice are very similar. The chief advantage of brown rice is its high fiber content and B-vitamin levels. However, it has been found that individuals are less likely to experience a larger “reaction” to white rice than to brown. Brown rice contains lecithin, like phytohemagglutinin, a large plant protein, which can stimulate the sticking together of red blood cells and the proliferation of lymphocytes associated with the allergic response. If you don’t like standard white rice, try basmati rice, which is an excellent choice among types of white rice because of its delicious taste and nutritional profile.
