And she's absolutely correct. Rice = simple carbohydrates = sugar. To the body, they are one in the same.

Yeah, but 1 cup of rice is not equal to 1 cup of carbohydrates != 1 cup of sugar.

wtf? Yea, she is wrong on that one. I am on your side.

Actually she?s right, rice has no nutritional value to it whatsoever (vitamins, minerals ect.). All it is made of is carbohydrate, which your body turns directly into sugar. It is no different than popcorn or any type of processed bread. Its those types of foods that make a lot of this countries people so overweight. It's also why more and more people are getting diabetes and having blood sugar regulation problems.

Whatsoever? Whoa, check your facts again. Since when carbohydrates is not nutrition? And rice has some vitamin B. Try not to eat carb at all for a week, let's see how your minerals and vitamins diet works out.

I would argue with you but since you probably have no clue what your talking about I'm going to refrain from laying it ALL out for you. In short, any moron knows you need carbs, I mean considering all foods, besides meat and most if not all types of cheeze, contain them

. Rice has a high glucose level, all high glucose foods are fairly poor to horrible means of nutrition when compared to low glucose foods. So please, do away with the cynical attitude.

Besides being a starch instead of a simple sugar, rice has some protein, some fiber, some vitamins, some minerals. Sugar has none of that. Saying that rice is the equivalent of table sugar is ludicrous.

Ask and dietitian and he'll tell you its damn close buddy, sure its better than sugar, but just about anything is better than sugar when it somes to your health. You can research it for yourself though, there are plenty of resources on the web that will explain the simple logic behind that statement.

Your original statement was

which is wrong.

Its those types of foods that make a lot of this countries people so overweight. It's also why more and more people are getting diabetes and having blood sugar regulation problems.

Yeah, those Asian countries with rice as a staple of their diet sure have a big problem with obesity and diabetes too.

You came in and made it sound like rice is worthless as a food, which is patently untrue. You know how to read a GI table, good for you. I don't give a sh!t about that, because when I eat rice it's combined with a protein source, and other carbs and fat.

Right now I find myself wondering how much a pound if sugar and rice is compared to each other, and how I can alter my rice vs. sugar intake.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Rice making people fat and overweight?! =P America is fat because of high meat intake. Rice ain't all that bad... it's not liek Asians are dying at a young age or anything. In fact, essentially EVERYTHING is bad for you if you take it out of moderation...

Wow, I'm gonna try some rice in my morning coffee then!!

good advice

and i dont think eating a cup of rice would have as many calories as a cup of pure sugar but then again im no dietician. besides wtf likes eating pure sugar

Ok SludgeFactory, I'm glad to know you try and balance your meals. Unfortunately we are talking about 'a cup of rice to a cup of sugar', not "a well balanced meal to a cup of sugar", let me know when you pick up on that. The 'cup of rice to a cup of sugar' statement is wrong in the measurement sense I admit, but in terms of effect it?s right on track. When you eat rice (ALONE), all your blood cells get is sugar, the effect takes a bit longer because rice is a complex carbohydrate, pure sugar is obviously already broken down. Anybody can counteract the rise of insulin when sugar is sent to the blood stream if they include other sources of protein, we do it every day, but since we are not talking about that it doesn?t matter.

Eating rice has the same systemic cellular effect as sugar dose and that?s what I was trying to get across, and when rice is cooked it looses almost all its nutritional value(vitamins,ect., DUH not carbs that?s what its composed of).

Rice has the highest water content of any grain when cooked. If you were to extract every ounce of water from the rice, then granulate it, I'd imagine you can in effect get the same caloric intake ounce for ounce as you do with sugar. Nuts and Grains are natures 'weight gain powder'.
