MIT researchers recently discovered that 100% of all people who eat rice face death in the end of their life. But who do you think will die first:
PS: For the sake of sharing more constructive information, given the surprising reach of my humble answer, I’m reproducing the nice comment by Hg Baladas:
« Rice including white rice has a lower glycaemic index than bread or potato. Long grain white rice (basmati rice) has an even lower glycaemic index.
That makes it less diabetogenic and less obesiogenic than bread or potato (if consumed in similar quantities) »
麻省理工学院的研究人员最近发现，所有吃米饭的人在生命的最后都面临死亡，但你觉得谁会先死呢？
PS: 为了分享更多有建设性的信息，考虑到我谦虚的回答令人惊讶的影响力，我复制了Hg Baladas的好评论:
«大米（包括白米）的升糖指数低于面包或土豆。长粒白米（印度香米）的升糖指数甚至更低。
这使得它比面包或马铃薯（如果食用量相似）更不易导致糖尿病和肥胖»
According to them, due to the all this white rice I was eating, I should be:
(1) The walking, living, and breathing definition of someone suffering from Arsenic Poisoning.
(2) A lifelong diabetic.
(3) Obese or at least someone with a gut that threatens to touch the pavement. “It’s just like eating sugar!”
根据他们的说法，由于我吃了这么多白米，我应该会成为:
(1)后半辈子的行走、生活和呼吸会和砷中毒患者一样。
(2)终身糖尿病患者。
(3)肥胖，或者至少是肚子快撑到人行道上的人。“这就像吃糖一样!”

I never knew white rice was supposed to be so dangerously unhealthy - until I moved to the States.
You see, I have been eating white rice ever since I was a mewling babe.
And there have been many days in my life where I’ve eaten white rice THREE times a day - breakfast, lunch, AND dinner.
And I prefer the short grain varieties, which I was constantly told - or was that lectured on - is the most unhealthy variety out there.
Fellow students and colleagues would act horrified when I revealed that yes, I sometimes ate white rice three times a day.
They - and much of the American media - bombarded me with just how unhealthy white rice is supposed to be.
在我搬到美国之前，我从来不知道白米被认为是如此危险的不健康食品。
你看，当我还是个哭哭啼啼的婴儿时，我就开始吃白米饭了。
在我的生命中，有很多天我一天吃三次白米饭—早餐、午餐和晚餐。
我更喜欢吃短粒品种，但我经常被告知—或者是被教导—这是大米中最不健康的品种。
当我告诉我的同学和同事，是的，我有时一天吃三顿白米饭时，他们会感到震惊。
他们—还有很多美国媒体—不停地轰炸我，说白米究竟是多么不健康。

(1)后半辈子的行走、生活和呼吸会和砷中毒患者一样。
(2)终身糖尿病患者。
(3)肥胖，或者至少是肚子快撑到人行道上的人。“这就像吃糖一样!”
It just confused me because:
(1) I had no idea what Arsenic Poisoning was until I lived in the US. I have never had any doctor diagnose myself or anyone I know in my extended family family as suffering from Arsenic Poisoning. And people in my extended family eat a lot of white rice. Ever since I started working, I’ve been going for my annual health checkups. Clean bill of health every time - no mention of Arsenic Poisoning yet.
(2) I am not diabetic. No one in my nuclear family is diabetic.
(3) If I’m obese - the vast majority of people in this world would be walking land whales.
这让我很困惑，因为:
直到我住在美国，我才知道砷中毒是什么。在我的大家庭里，从来没有任何医生诊断我或我认识的任何人患有砷中毒。我的大家庭里的人都经常吃白米饭。自从我开始工作以来，我每年都要去做健康检查。每次都有健康证明，但其中还没提到砷中毒。
我没有糖尿病。我的核心家庭中没有人患有糖尿病。
(3)如果说我太胖了—那么世界上绝大多数的人都得称之为陆上行走的鲸鱼。

I mean, with the last point, my sister eats a lot more rice than I do.
I’m going to reveal one of her eating habits.
She sometimes scoops white rice - straight from the rice cooker! - and dumps it into the soup/broth - and eats the rice and broth at the SAME time. And that’s AFTER she’s done with the main meal - where she’s already eaten white rice!
And she’s an East Asian woman standing at 172 cm and her weight fluctuates between 51–53 kg.
There was a moment in my handful of years in the States that I will always remember, due in no small part to the irony present.
我要说的最后一点，我妹妹吃的米饭比我多很多。
我要揭露她的一个饮食习惯。
她有时会直接从电饭锅里舀白米饭!-然后把它倒进汤/肉汤里-同时吃米饭和肉汤。这是在她吃完主餐之后—她已经吃过白米饭了!
她是一名东亚女性，身高172厘米，体重在51-53公斤之间波动。
在我在美国度过的几年里，有一个时刻我将永远记住，这在很大程度上是由于现在的讽刺。

I was living with a white housemate.
A young girl of… very robust proportions.
Let’s just say both my sister and I could fit into her pair of jeans, at the same time.
She was tut-tutting when she saw me eating a small bowl of white rice as part of my dinner.
“Why don’t you eat brown rice? It’s so much healthier for you!”
I continued eating.
Later that night, she polished off an entire tub of Ben and Jerry’s.
While sitting on the couch, watching television.
我和一个白人室友住在一起。
她是一个身材健壮的年轻女孩。
这么说吧，我妹妹和我能同时穿上她的牛仔裤。
当她看到我吃了一小碗白米饭作为晚餐的一部分时，她发出了啧啧的声音。
“你为什么不吃糙米? 这样对你更健康!”
我无动于衷，然后继续吃。
那天晚些时候，我看着她吃光了一整桶的班杰利冰淇淋，
在她坐在沙发上看电视的时候。

Candace Uhlmeyer, Taught about the history, anthropology, & philosophy of food
While white rice is not as nutritious as less-processed rice, it can certainly be a healthful part of a good diet. It’s not as if white rice has no nutrients at all!
I grew up in Japan and Taiwan (military brat, whose parents insisted on living among native folk rather than Americans), and ate rice (mostly white) for at least two meals a day.
When people denigrate white rice, they seem to forget (or just don’t know) that the rice is used as a vehicle for other aspects of the meal: vegetables, fish, meat, sauces, and condiments. Together, all of these create quite a bit of balance in the daily diet of indigenous rice-eaters.
虽然白米没有未加工过的大米那么有营养，但它肯定是良好饮食中健康的一部分。白米又不是完全没有营养!
我在日本和台湾长大(我的父母是军人，他们坚持与当地人而不是美国人生活在一起)，我们每天至少吃两顿米饭(大部分是白米饭)。
当人们贬低白米的时候，他们似乎忘记了(或者根本不知道)白米是一顿饭的其中一部分，其他部分有: 蔬菜、鱼、肉、酱料和调味品。所有这些元素加在一起，使当地吃米饭的人在日常饮食中维持了营养的平衡。

Nowadays, I choose brown rice because it’s widely available, and often cook more obscure varieties as well. I’m also trying to get as big a bang for my nutritional buck as I can. But it was my early experience of eating rice as a staple that introduced me to the variety of meal traditions developed by rice-growing and -consuming peoples.
The mistake we make in the West is to assume that any single food source determines the “healthiness” of a diet. So asking if rice is “healthy” is essentially meaningless when considering entire patterns of culinary practice.
如今，我选择吃糙米是因为糙米容易买到，而且我也经常煮一些不常见品种的大米。我也在努力让我的营养尽可能地保持均衡。但正是我早期以大米为主食的经历，让我了解了种植和消费大米的民族发展出的各种饮食传统。
我们在西方所犯的错误是认为任何一种单一的食物来源决定了饮食的“健康”。因此，考虑到整个烹饪实践模式，问米饭是否“健康”本质上是没有意义的。

REFAAT Seoudy, former Nutrition Specialist (1993-2014)
Rice is perhaps the most common staple food in the world and feeds more than half of the world's population. It is the second most cultivated crop after maize (maize). There are about 40,000 species of rice and they are grown on all continents except Antarctica. It is a source of instant energy and an outstanding source of Vitamin B1. Despite being a staple in many cuisines, many people are now choosing to avoid a diet that consists primarily of rice because of the kilograms it can add to their stomach. However, it would not be ideal to eliminate rice consumption solely based on this controversial assumption. Let's dive a little deeper into the details and take a look at some of its advantages and disadvantages.
大米可能是世界上最常见的主食，它养活了世界上一半以上的人口。它是仅次于玉米的第二大农作物。世界上大约有4万种水稻，它们生长在除南极洲以外的所有大陆上，它是即时能量的来源和维生素B1的杰出来源。尽管大米是许多菜系的主食，但许多人现在开始选择避免以大米为主的饮食，因为大米会增加他们胃里的重量。然而，仅仅根据这一有争议的假设来消除大米消费是不理想的。让我们更深入地研究细节，看看它的一些优点和缺点。

Advantages
1. Source of Energy: Rice is rich in simple carbohydrates that are easily digested and converted into energy unlike complex carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are essential for efficient metabolic activities that increase energy levels.
2. Cholesterol Free: Rice does not contain harmful fats and cholesterol. This makes it an excellent choice for the diet as it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, lower levels of lipids and cholesterol reduce the chances of developing obesity and related diseases.
3. Low Sodium Levels: Being low in sodium, rice does not exacerbate high blood pressure and excessive stress. Sodium puts pressure on the arteries and veins, limiting blood flow and increasing stress on the cardiovascular system.
Moreover, whole grain rice like brown rice is rich in insoluble fiber and can protect the body from the growth of cancerous cells, especially against bowel cancer. It is also said to contain nutrients that cause the growth of neurotransmitters which reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
优势
1. 能量来源: 与复杂的碳水化合物不同，大米富含易于消化和转化为能量的简单碳水化合物。碳水化合物对于提高能量水平的有效代谢活动是必不可少的。
2. 不含胆固醇: 大米不含有害脂肪和胆固醇。这使它成为一个很好的饮食选择，因为它可以降低患上心血管疾病的风险。此外，低脂和胆固醇水平降低了肥胖和相关疾病的发病几率。
3.低钠: 大米钠含量低，不会加重高血压和过度的压力。钠会对动脉和静脉造成压力，限制血液流动，增加心血管系统的压力。
此外，像糙米这样的全谷大米富含不溶性纤维，可以保护身体不受癌细胞生长的影响，尤其是肠癌。据说它还含有能促进神经递质生长的营养物质，从而降低患阿尔茨海默病和痴呆症的风险。

Defects
1. Simple carbohydrates: 100 grams of white rice equals 86 grams of sugar. Despite being a great source of energy, simple carbohydrates are the bad type of carbohydrate and are known to raise blood sugar and lead to overeating and obesity.
2. Digestive problems: White rice starch is very viscous and difficult to digest. Also, the fiber content is very low and does not facilitate proper cleaning of the intestines.
3. Over-processing and polishing: Over-processing removes about 90% of the rice's nutrition making it less susceptible to oxidation and easier to store for longer periods. White rice is simply rich in empty calories and an excessive intake of it can lead to chronic diseases.
Many people give up rice and replace it with wheat. This should not be the ideal approach as it reduces the intake of amino acids and B vitamins.
缺陷
1. 简单碳水化合物: 100克白米等于86克糖。尽管简单碳水化合物是一种很好的能量来源，但它却是一种不好的碳水化合物，会提高血糖含量，导致暴饮暴食和肥胖。
2. 消化问题: 白米淀粉非常粘稠，难以消化。此外，纤维含量很低，不利于肠道的正确清洁。
3.过度加工和抛光: 过度加工会去除大米中约90%的营养，使大米不易氧化，更容易长时间储存。白米富含无营养卡路里，摄入过多会导致慢性疾病。
许多人放弃用大米而用小麦代替。这不是一个理想的方法，因为它减少了氨基酸和维生素B的摄入量。

White rice is fine, and it has been for the roughly 10,000 years it’s been cultivated. White rice — just like maize, wheat, red meat, chicken eggs, etc. — becomes a problem when it’s served in American size portions over long periods of time.
American portions are the problem (if you’re not a day laborer or elite endurance athlete). I run into this whenever I travel abroad. My first reaction to my first meal is always “This it?”. Then when I’m done, I’m like “That was enough”.
白米很好，它已经被种植了大约一万年。白米饭——如果像玉米、小麦、瘦肉、鸡蛋等一样——长时间按美国人的份量供应就成了一个问题。
美国人的饮食量是个问题(如果你不是临时工或精英耐力运动员的话)。我每次出国旅行都碰到这种情况，我在别的国家吃第一顿饭的第一反应总是“就这样?”当我吃完的时候，我就会想"够了"

Almost anything is unhealthy if you eat enough of it.
White rice is a staple food in many nations. However those same nations have other foods that are eaten with the white rice.
Do a search for “ekiben bento”, which are special bento meals sold on specific train routes in Japan. You’ll find a reasonable serving of rice or, dishes made with rice, in those meals. You’ll also likely find some fish, nicely prepared vegetables and perhaps a few things beyond your experience to recognize. One of those is a pretty substantial meal in Japan.
While the rice is often viewed as ‘the meal,’ many of these cultures will also serve multiple small dishes that provide various nutrients.
Sure, there are healthier things to eat than a bowl full of white rice. But then, there are far worse. Pick up a bacon-cheese-triple burger meal from just about any fast food joint and figure out how much fat and sugar you are taking in.
如果你吃得足够多，几乎任何东西都是不健康的。
白米是许多国家的主食。然而，这些国家还有其他与白米一起食用的食物。
搜索“铁路便当”，这是日本特定火车线路上出售的特殊便当餐。你会发现在这些饭中有一份合理的米饭或米饭做的菜。你可能还会发现一些鱼，精心准备的蔬菜，也许还有一些超出你经验的东西。这在日本是相当丰盛的一餐。
虽然米饭通常被视为“一顿饭”，但在许多文化中，米饭会伴随着多种小菜，以提供各种营养。
当然，有比一碗白米饭更健康的东西可以吃。但是，还有更糟糕的食物：随便从任何一家快餐店买一份培根芝士三层汉堡，然后计算一下你摄入了多少脂肪和糖、

Cheeseburgers are a staple food for more that 5% of the world’s population; but are cheeseburgers really healthy?
One question makes as much sense as another. There is nothing unhealthy about white rice. It would not be a good choice to be 100% of your intake; but rice eating populations also add other vegetables, fish, fruit, and other sources of fiber. Judging from the population, it seems to work. Rice is fine if that’s what you grow … few farm products are a complete package.
Other countries have a climate that grows other grains like wheat, corn, oats, beans, etc. They provide a good source of carbohydrates and protein. Pick any single fruit, vegetable, etc at the exclusion of others and you run risks. Getting your nutritional information from somebody’s blog is a greater risk.
芝士汉堡是世界上5%以上人口的主食; 但是芝士汉堡真的健康吗?
这个问题和另一个问题一样有道理。白米饭没有什么不健康。如果100%的摄入的话，这不是一个好的选择; 但吃大米的人群也会添加其他蔬菜、鱼、水果和其他纤维来源。从人类发展来看，这似乎奏效了。如果你种的是大米，那就可以了，毕竟很少有农产品能提供全套营养成分。
其他国家的气候适合种植其他谷物，如小麦、玉米、燕麦、豆类等，它们是碳水化合物和蛋白质的良好来源。直选出任何单一的水果、蔬菜等，而不去吃其他的，这都是在拿身体冒险。而从别人的博客上获取营养搭配的风险更大。

Pick any single fruit, vegetable, etc at the exclusion of others and you run risks. Getting your nutritional information from somebody’s blog is a greater risk.
芝士汉堡是世界上5%以上人口的主食; 但是芝士汉堡真的健康吗?
这个问题和另一个问题一样有道理。白米饭没有什么不健康。如果100%的摄入的话，这不是一个好的选择; 但吃大米的人群也会添加其他蔬菜、鱼、水果和其他纤维来源。从人类发展来看，这似乎奏效了。如果你种的是大米，那就可以了，毕竟很少有农产品能提供全套营养成分。
其他国家的气候适合种植其他谷物，如小麦、玉米、燕麦、豆类等，它们是碳水化合物和蛋白质的良好来源。直选出任何单一的水果、蔬菜等，而不去吃其他的，这都是在拿身体冒险。而从别人的博客上获取营养搭配的风险更大。
Alan Waller, I pay attention to details; I think a lot; and I read a lot.
It’s not the rice, it’s what you’re eating with it. In the project where I was working in southern India, with local ladies cooking traditional food, they didn’t consider a meal to be a meal unless it contained ingredients from twenty different plants. So we were getting a wide range of vitamins and trace elements in our food.
However, the Indian government made highly subsidized white rice available to the villagers for almost nothing. Poor people have usually had poor access to education and they aren’t aware of vitamins and such. They are not eating to get balanced nourishment, they are eating to get unhungry. White rice eaten without vegetables will do that for you, but you are likely to become obese.
不是米饭的问题，而是和米饭一起吃什么东西的问题。当我在印度南部的一个项目中工作时，我和当地的妇女一起烹饪她们的传统食物，她们认为一顿饭至少含有20种不同植物制成的香料才算饭。所以我们从食物中获得了大量的维生素和微量元素。
然而，印度政府几乎免费为村民提供高补贴的白米。穷人通常接受教育的机会很少，他们不知道维生素之类的东西。他们吃东西不是为了均衡营养，他们吃东西是为了不饿。吃白米饭不吃蔬菜会对你有好处，但你很可能会变得肥胖。

While on the project, I had a posterior vitreous detachment like most people of my age, but mine caused interior bleeding in the eye and my colleagues took me to the local subsidiary hospital (which “only” served 2.1 million people!) to have it looked at. The triage desk forms had two spaces: one for people who could write their name, one for people who had never learned to write where they could set their thumbprint.
In the waiting room in the eye department was full of mothers with small children – I realized that only about half of these ladies had ever been inside a hospital before. There were lots of informative posters on the walls, like you might see in any hospital. But only half of these were about the anatomy of the eye. The other half were about nutrition – because so many small children in India suffer partial blindness due to catastrophic lack of vitamins in their white rice diet.
You cannot give undereducated people white rice almost for nothing, unless you make sure they know what they need to eat together with it.
在这个项目中，我像大多数同龄人一样患上了后玻璃体脱离，当我的眼睛内部出血，我的同事带我去当地的附属医院(“只”为210万人服务!)检查。分诊表格有两个空间: 一个给会写名字的人，一个给从来没有学过写字的人，他们可以把指纹留在那里。
在眼科的候诊室里挤满了带着小孩的母亲——我意识到这些妇女中只有大约一半以前来过医院。墙上贴着许多信息丰富的海报，就像你在任何一家医院都能看到的那样。但其中只有一半是关于眼睛的解剖结构。另外一半是关于营养的，因为在印度，很多小孩因为只吃白米饭导致严重缺乏维生素而患上了部分失明。
你不能白给没受过教育的人白米饭，除非你能确保他们知道他们需要吃什么。

White rice is often unfairly criticized and can serve as a better alternative to brown rice in some situations. For instance, women going through pregnancy may benefit from the extra folate found in enriched white rice.
Additionally, people on a low-fiber diet and adults experiencing nausea or heartburn may find that white rice is easier to digest and does not trigger uncomfortable symptoms.
However, brown rice is still the better option for most. It contains a wider variety of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and plant-based compounds. It also has a lower glycemic index, which means its carbs are more slowly converted into blood sugar, making it more ideal for people with diabetes or prediabetes. That said, it’s perfectly fine to enjoy white rice in moderation without feeling guilty.
Though white rice is more processed, it’s not necessarily bad. Most white rice in the US is enriched with vitamins like folate to improve its nutritional value. Additionally, its low fiber content may help with digestive issues. However, brown rice is ultimately healthier and more nutritious. Not to mention, studies have shown that brown rice is better for diabetes, heart disease and weight maintenance.
白米经常受到不公平的批评，在某些情况下，白米可以作为糙米的更好选择。例如，正在怀孕的妇女可以从富含叶酸的白米中获益。
此外，低纤维饮食的人和感到恶心或胃灼热的成年人可能会发现，白米更容易消化，且不会引发不舒服的症状。
然而，糙米仍然是大多数人更好的选择。它含有多种维生素、矿物质、必需氨基酸和植物性化合物。它的血糖生成指数也较低，这意味着它的碳水化合物转化为血糖的速度较慢，这使得它更适合糖尿病或前驱糖尿病患者。也就是说，适度地享用白米饭而不感到内疚是完全没有问题的。
虽然精米经过了更多的加工，但它并不一定是坏事。在美国，大多数白米都富含叶酸等维生素，以提高其营养价值。此外，它的低纤维含量可能有助于消化问题。然而，糙米最终更健康，更有营养。更不用说，研究表明糙米对糖尿病、心脏病和保持体重更有好处。

This is a great answer. And of course the right one obxtively and scientifically. Unfortunately, Americans have a problem with orthorexia (and a lot of Europe is catching up on this). They think of food as potential poison to be avoided, rather than the sustenance keeping you alive that it actually is.
Rice feeds a huge percentage of the world as a staple item. And not just in Asia. Ironically, those countries that consume it most almost all have less obesity than the others.
这是一个很好的答案。当然是客观科学的正确答案。不幸的是，很多美国人患有“健康食品症”(很多欧洲人正在迎头赶上)。他们认为食物是需要避免的潜在毒物，而不是你赖以生存的基础。
大米是世界上很大一部分人的主食，而且不仅仅是在亚洲。具有讽刺意味的是，这些国家的肥胖率几乎都低于非大米主食的其他国家。

The idea that a food is healthy/unhealthy is a ridiculous misunderstanding of how our bodies work. There is no one food that can make you healthy just by eating it. There is no such thing as “healthy” food. The only difference between white rice and brown rice is a bit of fiber and a few trace minerals, both of which can be easily ingested via other foods. And white rice is actually higher in some other nutrients than brown. Also, if you’re dissecting fine points, you could point out that brown rice also contains some “anti-nutrients” that white rice doesn’t. (HT: Jeff Sturm). The point is that a healthy diet comes from variety, and foods like rice (either white or brown) are not poison, and can be excellent parts of a varied, balanced lifestyle. Making one poison and the other magic is wrong-headed.
The white vs. brown rice argument is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard, and is totally the product of food fear-mongering, poor science communication, and the efforts of a few people to sell their own diet books or products.
认为食物健康或不健康的观点是对我们身体运作方式的荒谬误解。没有一种食物可以只靠吃就能使你健康，根本就没有所谓的“健康”食品。白米和糙米唯一的区别是糙米含有少量的纤维和微量的矿物质，这两种元素都很容易通过其他食物摄入。而白米的其他营养成分实际上比糙米高。此外，如果你仔细分析，你可以指出糙米也含有一些白米不含有的“抗营养成分”。重点是，健康的饮食来自于多种多样的食物，像米饭(白色或棕色)是无毒的，可以是多样化、平衡的饮食方式的优秀组成部分。把食物制造成是一种毒药和另一种魔法的行为是错误的。
白米和糙米的争论是我听过的最愚蠢的事情之一，完全是食品恐慌的产物，其争论严重缺乏科学依据，更是被一些人为推销他们自己的饮食书籍或产品而利用。

I simply cannot imagine thinking of one’s food as a collection of chemicals, both necessary and/or poison. What a horrible way to live.
I think in terms of food being in season, taste, color, etc. I eat lots of rice: white, brown, black, red, and green. Long grain and short. I choose for the dish I’m preparing. (I also eat pasta. Frequently.)
At age 74, my BMI is still under 19. I eat whatever I want; always have. Not only am I healthy, but so is my husband, who has been eating my cooking for three decades. (His BMI is higher than mine, but still normal range.)
I am American, born and reared. I refuse categorically to stop enjoying delicious food.
我简直无法想象一个人的食物是一堆化学物质的集合的景象，其中既有必要的，也有有毒的。这是多么可怕的饮食方式啊。
我认为选择食物主要看味道，颜色等方面。我吃过很多种大米: 白色的、棕色的、黑色的、红色的和绿色的，长粒短粒的都有。它们会搭配上我选择的菜。(我也吃意大利面，很频繁。)
74岁时，我的身体质量指数仍在19以下。我想吃什么就吃什么; 不仅我很健康，我丈夫也很健康，三十年来他一直吃我做的菜。(他的身体质量指数比我高，但仍属于正常范围。)
我是土生土长的美国人。我断然拒绝停止享受美味的食物。

You’re clearly doing it correctly. I would upvote this more than once, if that were possible. Variety in your diet is the healthiest thing you can do (and in most cases the most enjoyable as well).
The added benefit of eating the way you do is removing the stress of worrying about it all the time. That has a much more significant effect on health outcomes than any of the other things.
你显然做得对。如果可能的话，我会不止一次地投票赞成。饮食多样化是你能做的最健康的事情(在大多数情况下也是最愉快的事情)。
这样的饮食方式还有一个额外的好处，那就是消除你一直担心的对血管的压力。这对健康结果的影响比其他任何事情都要大。

That’s an excellent point. The oversimplification and demonization/exaltation of specific foods in general is an issue with how most people tend to look at food today. Overall, we’d do better to add foods to our diets rather than eliminate them, since there are many ways to get the nutrients we need, and no magic bullets. Food is what keeps us alive more than what kills us, and variety and moderation are more useful than good/bad mantras. Either kind of rice can be part of a healthy lifestyle as long as there is appropriate variety in the other things being eaten. And anything lacking in white rice can easily be obtained in other foods.
这是一个很好的观点。对特定食物的过分推崇或妖魔化是当今大多数人看待食物的一个问题。总的来说，我们最好是把食物添加到我们的饮食中，而不是排除它们，因为有很多饮食可以获得我们所需的营养，但没有灵丹妙药可以帮你达到同样的效果。食物是让我们活着的东西，而不是杀死我们的东西，多样性和适度比好或坏的咒语更有用。任何一种大米都可以成为健康生活方式的一部分，只要在其他食物中有适当的多样性，白米中缺少的任何东西都可以很容易地从其他食物中获得。

Yeah, here in America we’re being slowly poisoned by Big Food and then “treated” for the rest of our shortened, diminished lives by Big Pharma.
The good news is, the stock holders have never been wealthier and with the help of welfare programs we’re funneling wealth from the tax-paying lower and middle classes to the upper financial ranks at a rate never before seen in all of modern civilization.
We got this! Screw science, screw common sense, screw ethics, and screw whole foods… this is America… THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
是的，在美国，我们正在被大型食品公司慢慢毒害，然后被大型制药公司“治疗”我们剩下的被缩短、减少的生命。
好消息是，这些公司的股东们从未如此富有，在福利计划的帮助下，我们正以现代文明中从未见过的速度将财富从纳税的中低阶层转移到上层金融阶层。
我们得到的只有这个! 去他的科学，去他的常识，去他的道德，去他的天然食品，这是美国，世界上最伟大的国家!

Just do what I’ve been doing (for about 50 years). Grow your own fruit and veggies. So many fruit trees come in dwarf varieties that thrive in pots. Tomatoes, squashes, lettuces, spinach… all do just fine in pots. You don’t need acreage.
只要做我一直在做的(大约50年)。自己种植水果和蔬菜。许多果树都是矮生品种，它们可以在花盆里茁壮成长：西红柿、南瓜、生菜、菠菜……你可以靠它们自给自足而且不需要种植面积。

Yeah. Screw Science.. We all know the only really beneficial thing they've come up with are antibiotics. Which they didn't even invent. Peruvians have had antibiotics since before the Europeans came to the Americas. Another thing the Europeans have stolen from Indegenous culture. It is our own fault we have elected such morally bankrupt politicians who only have respect for rich people. We have the power to elect a politician who will represent the common man. We have to demand it
Television has convinced the non thinking people that you have to be rich to be anybody. They seem to have no idea that they are voting against themselves.
So if all you can do is sit in front of the boob tube and suck in propaganda, you deserve to be unrepresented in gov't. Something the forefathers fought for. Stand against Tyranny.
是的。螺丝科学. .我们都知道他们想出的唯一真正有益的东西就是抗生素，甚至它也不是他们发明的。在欧洲人来到美洲之前，秘鲁人就已经有了抗生素。这是欧洲人从本土文化中窃取的另一件东西。这是我们自己的错，我们选出了这些道德沦丧的政客，他们只尊重富人。我们有权力选出一位代表普通人的政治家，我们必须要这么做。
电视已经说服了那些没有思想的人，你必须有钱才能成为任何人。他们似乎不知道他们是在投票反对自己的阶级。
所以，如果你所能做的就是坐在电视机前，灌输宣传到你的大脑，你就活该在政府中没有代表。这是祖先们为之奋斗的目标-反对暴政。

From elementary to high school, the cafeteria staff would always, and I mean always mix a little brown rice with the white, presumably under the impression doing so would be healthier.
I don’t mind brown rice all that much, and will occasionally opt for it, but there nothing I hate more than brown/white mixed. Go big or go home!
从小学到高中，食堂的工作人员总是把糙米和白米混在一起，大概是觉得这样更健康。
我不太介意糙米，偶尔也会选择糙米，但我最讨厌的就是糙米和白米的混合。

Hah. I actually like mixed grain more than white. That said, I prefer short white grain for porridge.
I now have a bag of mixed grain, short white grain, basmati rice and quinoa at home
if anyone is curious, yes I’m overweight now, not by choice but due to medication. And yes, I still eat my rice at times - and I’m shedding my weight gradually.
the point is to have a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
哈哈。其实我更喜欢混合谷物。话虽如此，我还是喜欢吃白米粥。
现在我家里有一袋混合谷物，短白米，印度香米和藜麦的组合。
如果有人好奇的话，是的，我现在超重了，不是自愿的，而是因为药物。是的，我仍然会时不时地吃米饭，而且我的体重也在逐渐减轻。
关键是要有均衡的饮食和有规律的体育活动。

I'm Brazilian. Rice and beans is a staple of Brazilian diet. Almost every Brazilian eats a great portion of white rice twice a day. It's part of our tradition as far as food is concerned. Brazilian have been eating rice and beans with meat twice a day for centuries. Only very recently have the people become overweight, as a consequence of the introduction of fast food, I. e. American food in our culture.
If you get a 1950s picture of a crowded Copacabana beach, you see a sea of thin people.
My father was a doctor, as was my grandfather. They both were very concerned about what we ate, and made a point about our family having a healthy diet. However, they never banned rice and beans from our table, never mentioned that rice was unhealthy. I understand that high quantities of whatever you eat are detrimental to your health. Eat just a small portion and you'll be healthy.
我是巴西人，大米和豆类是巴西人的主食。几乎每个巴西人每天吃两顿大量的白米。就食物而言，这是我们传统的一部分。几个世纪以来，巴西人每天吃两顿米饭、豆子和肉。直到最近，由于快餐的引入，即美国食品在我们文化中的引入，人们才开始变得超重。
如果你看到20世纪50年代拥挤的科帕卡巴纳海滩的照片，你会看到一片瘦人的海洋。
我父亲是一名医生，我祖父也是。他们都非常关注我们吃的东西，并强调我们的家庭要有一个健康的饮食。然而，他们从来没有禁止我们吃米饭和豆子，从来没有提到大米是不健康的。我知道无论你吃什么，吃得太多对你的健康都是有害的。只吃一小部分，你会很健康。

One of the things that amazes me is that in America the portions are huge. Even the plates, the cups and glasses are bigger. When I was a child, I used to buy popcorn before getting into the theatre to see a film. It came in a very small paper bag. I don't recall feelings like having a second one. I felt satisfied. Nowadays, popcorn comes in a bucket. Popcorn, I reckon is not unhealthy, especially if you eat it once a week. But a bucket of popcorn surely can't be healthy.
By the way, I take my check-up exams every year. I'm not diabetic, and I am very healthy. I eat a scoop of white rice everyday at lunch.
让我惊讶的是，在美国，食物的份量很大，甚至盘子、杯子和玻璃杯都变大了。当我还是个孩子的时候，我常常在进电影院看电影之前先买爆米花，它装在一个很小的纸袋里。我不记得有购买第二次的经历，一杯就足以让我感到满意。现在，爆米花都是装在桶里的。爆米花，我认为是不健康的，除非你一周吃一次的话。但是一桶爆米花肯定是不健康的。
顺便说一下，我每年都参加体检。我没有糖尿病，而且我很健康。我每天午餐吃一碗白米饭。

When I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes I was referred to a nutritionist, who gave me a mnemonic: avoid the whites: white flour, white sugar, salt, white potatoes, and white rice. All these foods (save for salt) have a high glycemic index, which makes them inadvisable for diabetics. This gets translated into popular culture as bad for everyone, which may not be the case. If you aren't diabetic, a reasonable portion of white rice might not be a problem.
当我被诊断出患有二型糖尿病时，我被介绍给了一位营养学家，他提醒我: 不要吃白色食品: 白面粉、白糖、盐、白土豆和白米饭。所有这些食物(除了盐)都有很高的血糖指数，这使得它们不适合糖尿病患者。这被解释为现如今流行的饮食文化对每个人都不好，但事实可能并非如此。如果你不是糖尿病患者，适量的白米可能不是问题。

The reason people are diabetic in the first place is high-glycemic foods are EVERYWHERE in the American diet. Sugar, potatoes, and corn products are inescapable if you eat processed foods regularly. In Asian cuisine these aren’t really prent, so the white rice doesn’t cause much harm.
人们患上糖尿病的首要原因是高血糖食物在美国人的饮食中无处不在。如果你经常吃加工食品，糖、土豆和玉米产品是不可避免的。在亚洲菜中，这些并不是很普遍，所以白米不会造成太大危害。

It’s a marketing issue compounded by people looking at the nutritional value of rice alone without taking into consideration what rice is eaten with, and the fact that not everything we eat is fully absorbed.
The Asian diet is high veg. Much of the needed nutrients will be through the accompanying vegetables. That’s also why magnesium deficiency (generally considered the 2nd highest mineral deficiency) is much lower amongst Asians. Anyway, frankly speaking, most of us are already eating too much already.
White rice is better absorbed. TCM treatises are full of warnings not to eat too much hard to digest grains (eg brown rice, wheat and oats), especially for young kids and older adults. Parents and healthcare staff can tell you all the wonders of indigestion and fecal impaction (shall not attach photos).
这是一个市场问题，人们只关注大米的营养价值，而不考虑吃米饭时搭配的是什么，也不考虑我们吃的所有东西都被完全吸收的事实。
亚洲人的饮食以蔬菜为主。大部分所需的营养物质将通过搭配的蔬菜来获得。这也是为什么亚洲人镁缺乏症(通常被认为是第二严重的矿物质缺乏症)要低得多的原因。不管怎样，坦率地说，我们大多数人已经吃得太多了。
白米更容易被吸收。中医论著中充满了不要吃太多难以消化的谷物(如糙米、小麦和燕麦)的警告，尤其是对小孩和老年人。家长和医护人员可以告诉您消化不良和大便嵌塞的所有奇妙之处(请勿附上照片)。

Southeast Asian countries eat rice everyday and at least 2–3 times a day but they have lower obesity rates than many non-rice eating countries. The demon is not the rice per se. What is important is balanced nutrition, portion control as well as physical activities and just an over all healthy lifestyle. Also, asians normally eat rice with soup, protein and a lot of vegetable side dishes. And our portions are not huge! During my last visit to the US, I thought their single serving looked like a family serving that could feed 3–4 people! We just have to be careful not to eat a whole mountain of rice the same way we should not eat a whole tub of ice cream or an entire tray of French fries and a whole giant pizza; anything in excess is not good.
东南亚国家每天吃大米，每天至少吃2-3次，但他们的肥胖率比许多不吃大米的国家要低。恶魔并不是大米本身，重要的是要均衡营养，控制份量，体育锻炼和健康的生活方式。此外，亚洲人通常吃米饭配汤、蛋白质和许多蔬菜。而且我们的饭量并不大! 在我上次去美国的时候，我觉得他们的单人餐看起来足够一个3-4个人的东南亚家庭吃一顿! 我们只需要注意不要吃下一整山的米饭，就像我们不应该吃下一整桶冰淇淋或一整盘薯条和一整块大披萨一样; 任何事过了头都不好。

When my Malaysian friend said “I avoid rice most days,” I nearly choked on my dinner. “You've been in California too long I think …”
Perhaps I'm wrong but it seems to be a particularly American thing. I've never known Italian and Spanish people to avoid rice. I certainly ate rice more often in China, sometimes three times a day. I also grew up eating the stuff fairly often, though usually prepared in a different way — for instance my dad made curries, and mum and auntie made “Spanish" rice with garlic cooked into it.
当我的马来西亚朋友说“我大部分时间不吃米饭”时，我几乎被我的晚餐噎住了。“我想你在加州待得太久了……”
也许我错了，但这似乎是一个特别的美国事情。我从没见过意大利人和西班牙人不吃米饭。在中国，我当然更常吃米饭，有时一天吃三次。我在成长过程中也经常吃这种东西，尽管通常会以不同的方式准备——例如，我爸爸做咖喱，妈妈和阿姨用大蒜做“西班牙”米饭。

My female relatives average between 55 and 70 kg for the most part. Bear in mind I'm very short by my family's standards at 1.65 m — my mother was 70 kg but she was also 1.8 m tall. She was typically French in that she ate and enjoyed rich food, but in small quantities. I think that could be the key — because if you go to fake Chinese eateries like Panda Express or fake Italian places like Olive Garden you get a carb mountain. Those who eat rice or pasta daily are most likely eating a fraction of that amount.*
In fact I experienced the carb avoidance thing for the first time in America — told off for eating pasta in California too!
Yes I know that's not true everywhere.
我的女性亲戚大多平均体重在55到70公斤之间。记住，按照我家的标准，我个子很矮，1.65米——我母亲70公斤，但她也有1.8米高。她是典型的法国人，因为她喜欢吃丰富多样的食物，但总量很少。我认为这可能是关键，因为如果你去像熊猫快餐这样的假冒中国餐馆或像橄榄园这样的假冒意大利餐馆，你会得到一个碳水化合物堆积的山。那些每天吃米饭或意大利面的人很可能只吃得下这个量的一小部分。
事实上，我在美国第一次经历的被告知避免碳水化合物过量摄入的事情是——在加州被告诫不要吃意大利面!
当然，我知道不是所有地方都是这样。
