WHOLE GRAIN: BROWN RICE HEALTH BENEFITS
Why Brown Rice and not White Rice "Day 26, 2011"
What is the difference between brown rice and white rice? Why we should eat brown rice and not white rice. Brown rice is whole grain and has several layers, when milling only the outer shell is removed. This process is lease damaging to the nutritional value of the rice, and nutrients are not lost with further processing. When brown rice is milled until the bran and most of germ layer is removed, it’s no longer brown but white: most of the nutrients have also been removed. The process is still not complete; now the rice must be polished to make it white. Polishing removes the aleurone layer (a granular protein found in the endosperm of many seeds; or outer most layers in cereal grain) of the grain. This layer is filled with healthy essential fats. Once refined, these fats are exposed to air, causing oxidation; because the original nutrients has been removed the results is a simply refined starch, with a high glycemic index. The aleurone layer is removed to extend the products shelf life.

Nutrient Dense Foods: High in Vitamins, Minerals, and Phytonutrients
Some people may be allergic to spinach, and should not eat it. The oxalates in spinach may interfere with the absorption of calcium and cause crystallizing. People with kidney or gallbladder problems should be careful in eating spinach. It may also interfere with proper thyroid gland functioning, cooking may reduce the goitrogenic compounds. The purine in spinach may affect people with gout. Just remember any leafy food may have high pesticide content; organic is better... Says Ms Bettie.
