I've been hearing around the grapevine that bleached rice isn't too good for digestion... anyone confirm with a scientific paper or news story?

This is deadly if white rice is a main staple of your diet.

myth. white rice takes longer to digest than other foods which will cause less frequent bowel movements, but it is not in any way unhealthy. if anything it's more healthy

i have been to china, and i must say, that i never ate a bit of white rice when i was there. there was brown, black and red. also, and white thing, like wheat or something, can cause constipation, and harmful things in your large intestine. also, many of the nutrients are removed.

It's not like there's anything else to eat besides white rice (with something) at my house...

Except some noodles.
