The difference between refined carbohydrates like white rice and brown rice is the fiber and maybe some protein that is added to the rice in brown rice? And the main consideration is the glycemic effect? So like, if one were to eat vegetables with fiber first and then eat white rice or eat them together, maybe with some fat, that has the same effect as eating brown rice straight up? I am just trying to figure out why refined carbs are so vilified. I feel that other than this whole blood sugar insulin thing going on with pure refined carbs like sugar or rice, a carb is a carb whether it’s from fruit or vegetables or whole grain rice or noodles or whatever. Is this correct?
