White or brown rice which is healthier?!


Question: According to the label, There are 170 Calories in both.
Total Fat, 1.5 grams in Brown and 0 grams in White. Potassium, 75mg in White, and none listed in Brown.
Dietary Fiber, 0 in White and 2 grams in Brown.
Protein, White 4 grams, Brown 5 grams. I
ron, White 15% of daily need, and Brown 4% of daily need. Calcium White 4% of daily need and Brown, "not a significant source."
Carbohydrates, White 38 grams and Brown 35 grams.
As you can see from the Nutrition Facts information, White rice seems to be better! The only big difference in the fiber, 2 grams in Brown and none in White. Now, I am sure that some of you will continue to claim that Brown rice is "better." Can you prove it by the Nutrition Facts?

Brown rice is better.

White products, such as rice and bread, immediately turn to sugar after consumption. Sorry, but that just isn't healthy

brown rice tends to give you the needs of your body and then passing through the system and down from your anal while white ricce sits longer and your body will absorb more fat due to the white rice sitting
