I’d have to digup stats but I think USA had higher diabetes due to everything being sugar, at least carbs like rice have to be digested and aren’t instant sugar bomb
Oh, for sure. The US diet is horrible IME. Loads of sugar, salt, fried / hydrogenated oils in ultra-processed food. Absolutely crazy.
Meanwhile, the problem with white rice is not that it has simple carbs, but that it’s little more than just starch, which has a fast, deleterious effect on blood glycemic levels. So for the cultures that eat white with almost every meal, it can be a real problem.
