In the first randomized controlled trial to compare the brown and white rice in India, substituting brown rice for white rice in a population of overweight/obese individuals helped significantly reduce glucose levels and lower serum insulin.
The findings, which showed glucose cut by 20% and insulin by 60% with brown rice, were reported at the World Diabetes Conference 2013 last month.
The same research team is now conducting a study in adults with prediabetes to see whether substituting brown rice for white will help prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.
