Rice! Is it true eating to much is bad for your eyes?!
Question: The same is true of white rice, white flour, sugar, and in fact all High Glycaemic/Glycemic* Index (GI) foods, they can stuff up your insulin responses, which leads to insulin resistance and artery damage. This can include the blood vessels supplying your eyes. So, yes, it is true to a degree.
Better to eat brown rice and stick to low GI foods, it's a much healthier way to eat.
I occasionally have something with high GI for a treat, but mostly I am a bit of a health freak with food.
* the spelling depends upon where in the world you live.

i never heard of such a thing
Rice turns into glucose once it's digested which can increase your risk of diabetes. Diabetes causes vision problems.
I've never heard of that either.
I know wheat rice (like other wheat products) is healthier than white rice. I did hear somewhere that eating too much white rice may cause diabetes...but I'm not too sure about that. My family, being Asian, has eaten white rice for who-knows-how-long, and there have been no cases of diabetes at all in my family.
At first, I thought this was a joke about Asians.... I've never heard of this before.
I've never heard of this either, where did you hear this?
I mean i eat rice nearly everyday, along with atleast 1 billion other people...surely this would mean we would all have serious eye problems...?
Yes, it is possible that eating too much rice could cause you to go blind,.....much like eating a school desk might cuase you to get cancer of the big toe,.......But We live here in America and you hardly ever see McDonalds advertising the school desk special with a side of fries and a diet coke for $4.99......we just dont eat that many school desks here in this country,......and I dont think there has ever been a lawsuit where a rice company has been sued for anyone going blind,......besides that, there's alot of other things that'll make you go blind alot quicker...........So my answer would be "Most likely not"......but "possibly so"......give it a try and see what happens.
