I don't know if this is true. But I understand that rinsing rice before cooking takes most of the arsenic away, because it resides in that starchy layer surrounding the kernel. Different types of rice (grown in different areas of the world) have different potentials for arsenic, too. The article linked below doesn't specifically mention Jasmine rice, but I think rice grown in SE Asia has less arsenic. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-much-arsenic-is-in-your-rice/index.htm
Brown rice is so much better, and better for you. I'll never understand why they strip away the fiber and nutrients to make it white, then spray it with "nutrients" and call it fortified.
Brown rice goes rancid after between 6 months and a year. You can't store that, but you can store white rice for up to 30 years if you package it right in a mylar bag with no oxygen.
Rinse until water runs clear - may take several passes. It pays to invest in a good rice cooker also - makes it perfect every time and doesn’t stick to the pot.
When we were a young family it was a staple at every meal because it was cheap and easy to prepare. I could still eat jasmine rice every day and never get tired of it :-)
Go keto and you’ll lose the belly fat in two months. And I mean flat stomach. Healthy keto. Veggies (not the super starchy ones like taters) and meat only
"The highest levels of arsenic (in all forms) in foods can be found in seafood, rice, rice cereal (and other rice products), mushrooms, and poultry, although many other foods, including some fruit juices, can also contain arsenic."
BTW, I'm pretty old and haven't died from arsenic poisoning.
White rice is low in arsenic; it's the bran of brown rice that has the higher arsenic. Thorough rinsing of white and brown rice will greatly reduce the arsenic, and brown rice from asian countries is lower in arsenic than U.S. rice. Also CA white rice is lower than eastern U.S. white rice, due to greater pesticide use over a longer time in the east.
American Chinese restaurant food is completely different from Chinese Chinese restaurant food.
I used to travel to China on business and was always amazed how good it was there. Probably mystery dog or cat or something but way different from Chinese restaurants here.
Remember when "THEY" told us not to eat certain foods... only to find out "THEY" were wrong?
They preached for years not to eat eggs, bacon, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, sugar, coconut oil, whole milk, potatoes, pasta, bread, red meat, etc... and after panicking the population for a while, it turns out "THEY" were wrong.
Stop listening to "THEM". Listen to your own body and the nutrition that it wants. Make smart choices, eat a variety, choose whole grain or multi-grain or unrefined wherever possible and simply don't over-indulge.
"THEY" are telling you not to eat white rice, which is fine if eaten in moderation like anything else. White rice began being produced in the 1800s, after the milling machine was invented to remove the bran layer without damaging the rest of the grain. Keep White Rice in your survival food supply. It stores well and lasts almost indefinitely if packaged right. Brown rice and wild rice doesn't store as long and is more susceptible to spoiling. Brown rice is more nutritious and is a better option for everyday diet. Just remember to eat a variety, mix in vegetables and don't over-do it on any one food. Never listen to "THEM". THEY aren't interested in your health, obviously.
Each time I was pregnant I CRAVED Brussels sprouts. Couldn’t figure out why because at that time in my life I didn’t particularly like them. But guess what, they are one of the highest foods to supply folic acid which is crucial to fetal development. Your body will tell you what it needs if you listen too it.
BSTAA! When they started in on eggs, I was telling everyone who would listen that cutting back is one thing (moderation), but cutting out all together was ridiculous! Ugh.
Like you said.. moderation!
My sister would make my recipe for chocolate chip cookies but mine were always better. Her family always wanted mine... turns out she was in the afraid of salt phase and wouldn't put in the whole 1/2 tsp the recipe called for! Ugh!
the exact same thing was done with eggs. They pushed the narrative of cholesterol in eggs when there was a shortage of them years ago. Same story different food.
Everyone here is talking about Asian rice consumption; meanwhile, I'm over here with my bowl of jambalaya and a shank for any doctor who tries to take it away from me.
I think the bodies response as far as glucose and insulin goes, is similar to a refined sugar. Nothing to freak out about though. Bodybuilders would be screwed, that’s a simple carbohydrate gold mine
White rice is a simple carb, but brown rice is a complex carb, as it still has its fiber. i like white rice, and grew up eating white rice, but as an adult, I much prefer brown, as I believe it's healthier.
My doc told me this over a year ago. I was kind enough not to laugh out loud. I’m old enough to have heard the dire warnings against coffee, lard, and eggs. Probably some I’ve forgotten.
Given I was told white rice is bad nutritionally over a year ago, I don’t think this translates into a comm about rice shortages. And why would it be necessary to cloak a rice shortage in an article like this? All you have to do is read the crop reports for rice.
Interesting that MSM would report this, because it is counter to the "fatty foods cause heart disease by raising cholesterol" theory promoted by big Pharma for the past 50 years. There is very good evidence that carbohydrates are a much bigger factor in heart disease than fats, and the cholesterol lowering drugs are one of the biggest scams of the medical industry.
Parent had heart surgery a long while back. They gave a booklet when they left of heart healthy food to eat from now on.. butter was in there! I figure, the closer to nature, the better off you are.
I remember back in the 60's and 70's when they came out with all the fake butters because they said butter was bad for you. Of course, now we know those margarines are way worse than butter ever was, and perhaps butter is actually good for your heart :)
So i had a shower thought. About parasite and big democratic enclaves. Im sure a good number of us have watched the rogan podcast about toxoplasmaghandi. I started to think that the deepstate uniparty knows what parasite makes people lean hard left and uses it to their advantage. This is why ivermectin was clamped down on so hard. Because it would erase decades of brainwashing on the rabid left.
I think billions of Asians, who've eaten rice since they discovered it's edible, would prove this is BS. Not saying rice is the healthiest food out there, but its certainly not as bad as the meme suggests.
Asians are the most impacted with gestational diabetes. Native American and Pacific Islanders are also in the top 3. We eat rice 3 times a day. During pregnancy your body will make less insulin so Asians should avoid sticky white rice or substitute brown rice whenever possible. Microwave rice is really high both in the glycemic index as well as glycemic load. https://www.natureword.com/glycemic-index-of-rice/
Plus, Americans especially are prone to having more than a reasonable serving size (of everything) I imagine that 1/2 - 1 cup rice is plenty, depending on size of person? I have seen people who are eating a lot more than that a meal. Idk?
I’ve eaten in for 30 years, my parents have eaten it for 60 years. We’re all in perfect health. Are you using science or experience to make that claim?
I’m a proponent of eating consciously and laugh at things like ‘low carb diet’ as unconscious routine following. There is literally no need for any diet whatsoever. It never even needs to be thought of. Just a dumb construction that happened as humans went insane. Silly ideas they have to fool themselves into believing that they’re solving their conflicts. Do you think ancient unaberated people were ‘proponents of low carb diets’ or would they be like ‘lol wtf is that’. Aristotle on food: eat a low carb diet (don’t think so). Come on, move past this scientific eating crap. This is the great awakening to consciousness.
My awakening includes the knowledge that the human body thrives on a low carb diet. Remove the cultural fluff, the "method of sustaining one's body" is unrivaled. I feel out fucking standing.
Yeah, but me too, and I eat carbs. So the theory is bunk. It’s not knowledge, just a whim. We can feel outstanding on any natural food, especially honey, fruit, sugar cane, milk, vegetables - all carbs.
The "knowledge" I am referring to isnt only about how one feels, however. It is also about what happens inside your body, to the blood vessels, organs, muscles etc. I'm not trying to knock your path, but I am stating my piece on carbs. They are unnecessary and should be treated as luxuries or last-ditch efforts against starvation, and the same goes for plants.
Yeah man, fruit is unnecessary. Good one. The lovely orange is an unnecessary luxury. Go science! You may want to consider the possibility that all science that you imagine tells you ‘what happens to your blood vessels’ is bunch of bunk bullshit from the ground up. The reality is much simpler. Oranges grow on trees. They taste good. You can eat them. End of explanation.
I always heard that China is short on farmland relative to it's large population and that was reason they needed to take over USA. Anyone think a rice shortage would drive China to take more US farmland?
I always have a few kg of rice in the cupboard and eat it all the time, there's not much profit in rice so no wonder they are against it, lets not follow the soyence and follow the facts like the Japanese have the most amount of old people who have lived their long lives on a staple of rice.
Dude, glucose is linked to inflammation and cancer. Cancer feeds of it. Not ketones though.
It's no different for anyone, the body all work the same.
I don't know if this is true. But I understand that rinsing rice before cooking takes most of the arsenic away, because it resides in that starchy layer surrounding the kernel.

Brown is dirty. White is clean. Pay attention!! ;)
Brown doesn't last as long as white. Keep that in mind for the long term preps!
Both brown and white can be frozen. I have stocked bags in my freezer now.
Copy. Though I was being a smart ass mimicking their rhetoric.
Thanks!
Brown rice goes rancid after between 6 months and a year. You can't store that, but you can store white rice for up to 30 years if you package it right in a mylar bag with no oxygen.
I did not know that... Thanks!
Interesting info, thanks! Never bothered to rinse my rice before but I most certainly will now!
Rinse until water runs clear - may take several passes. It pays to invest in a good rice cooker also - makes it perfect every time and doesn’t stick to the pot.
When we were a young family it was a staple at every meal because it was cheap and easy to prepare. I could still eat jasmine rice every day and never get tired of it :-)
My rice sister! I am definitely going to try your cooking method! 😋
Who would have known you could fall in love with a frog friend because of your love of jasmine rice, KEK 🐸
Go keto and you’ll lose the belly fat in two months. And I mean flat stomach. Healthy keto. Veggies (not the super starchy ones like taters) and meat only
Most Asian grocery stores will have a rice washing bowl. Kind of like a special colander. I love mine.
There's a lot of foods that contain arsenic:
"The highest levels of arsenic (in all forms) in foods can be found in seafood, rice, rice cereal (and other rice products), mushrooms, and poultry, although many other foods, including some fruit juices, can also contain arsenic."
BTW, I'm pretty old and haven't died from arsenic poisoning.
I don't eat chicken skin because it has fat and I don't like it. Unless it was Mama's fried chicken. But that was decades ago.
That quote did say poultry as if arsenic is all through chicken meat, but I do eat a lot of chicken.
Yeah, it's so good if it's potato chip crispy! Boiled, slimy chicken skin is vomit inducing.
White rice is low in arsenic; it's the bran of brown rice that has the higher arsenic. Thorough rinsing of white and brown rice will greatly reduce the arsenic, and brown rice from asian countries is lower in arsenic than U.S. rice. Also CA white rice is lower than eastern U.S. white rice, due to greater pesticide use over a longer time in the east.
I mean there is that whole “hungry an hour later” Chinese food meme, I suppose the blood sugar crash has a lot to do with that.
American Chinese restaurant food is completely different from Chinese Chinese restaurant food.
I used to travel to China on business and was always amazed how good it was there. Probably mystery dog or cat or something but way different from Chinese restaurants here.
If you like chewing on a popped balloon try their boiled jellyfish.
Has the delicacy sea cucumber once. Like chewing cartilage.
MSG fren, they put that on everything and it's known to cause that rebound hunger amongst a bunch of other things. https://www.eatthis.com/side-effects-of-msg-increased-appetite-weight-gain-and-more/
I don't believe this at all, just another fear factor the media is trying to get us to swallow, pun intended.
Bad pun - now shut up and eat some bugs/sarc
😆
Don’t stock up on rice is the message of this article, not that a shortage is coming. Thought about it a few minutes after my previous comment.
Now, why would they want to persuade us to not eat white rice? It’s a relatively inexpensive food that can help sustain people through hard times.
Keep an eye out for anti-bean stories next
Anti TP stories after that?
because it's white

Mmmmm! Roasted brussel sprouts, with a balsamic honey glaze is righteous delicious!!
Great reply.

Are we going back to the can of bacon grease on the stove days? Count me in!

I thought that was the sugar industry waging war against eggs(I could be wrong, tho...). Sugar is horrible for the cardiovascular system.

I'm right there with ya... Don't be takin my Jambalaya!
Rice is great for those times when you want to eat 2000 of something.
I used to eat rice. I still do but I used to too.
Ok Mitch :)
LOL one of the best comedians ever. RIP
It would be awesome if he were not dead and instead was in Witness Protection.
I don't have a microwave, but I do have a clock that occasionally cooks rice.
So 2000 cookies would be bad? :)
Yeah. Duh - imagine how many repeat fortunes you would get.
Your body turns rice in to glucose. Diabetic people are told to avoid rice. Rice is super high on the glycemic index.
Very true - it spikes my blood sugar high every time I eat it. That said, I won't be worried about my blood sugar if there are food shortages.
Combine this with this article saying California is having its worst year growing rice ever…of course when you read the article it is the government limiting water by over 80% to some farmers! This is 100% a manufactured crisis https://www.kcra.com/amp/article/2022-california-rice-harvest-drought-supply/41200588

Yeah I was thinking of those Japanese villages where people regularly live to 100 eating rice and fish
The centenarians in Japan eat a lot sweet potatoes and yams actually.
White rice is pretty damn bad for you, tbh
yes, brown rice is much better!
I’ve eaten in for 30 years, my parents have eaten it for 60 years. We’re all in perfect health. Are you using science or experience to make that claim?
what happens when you fast? do you get the shakes? I am a proponent of a low carb diet
I’m a proponent of eating consciously and laugh at things like ‘low carb diet’ as unconscious routine following. There is literally no need for any diet whatsoever.

sauce it or toss it buddy
Rice is a staple in our house, in particular basmati.. Love it.
I always heard that China is short on farmland relative to it's large population and that was reason they needed to take over USA. Anyone think a rice shortage would drive China to take more US farmland?
A thousand pounds of rice and beans put away just in case
I'm finding this hard as hell to believe. They eat rice for almost every damn meal over in China for centuries!
Could this be a white genocide comm? Like it's a "go" on the scorched earth fall back plan? Release the 5g heart attack death ray machine!
I always have a few kg of rice in the cupboard and eat it all the time, there's not much profit in rice so no wonder they are against it, lets not follow the soyence and follow the facts like the Japanese have the most amount of old people who have lived their long lives on a staple of rice.
White rice matters.
I did not even know candy was bad for your heart. Now I feel stupid
White rice? What kind of racist article is this?
Oats are also a good carb source to stock up on. Lower glycemic index and a good bit more fiber too.
Rice is vital in treating cholera.
Cholera was recently highlighted by WHO with 26 countries reporting issues (20 countries in normal season).
Wash your rice and use the finger method.
