Brown rice and other whole grains can prevent type 2 diabetes

By Dr. Matthew Watson

Natural health advocates have long advocated nutrient-dense whole grains over the bleached and processed kinds, like white rice and white bread. Brown rice, for example, is loaded with fiber, B vitamins, phytochemicals and other nutrients. Scientists are now documenting that it has specific disease-fighting properties, too. For example, NaturalNews recently reported on Temple University research that found a compound in brown rice which lowers blood pressure and may prevent heart attacks (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/diet/alcaline/alk_diet.php).
