hey guys so I recently had a question

about rice and someone wanted to know

what is better white rice or brown rice

okay so I’m thinking are they watching

my videos have they seen any of the

videos on ketosis okay because we’re not

recommending grains okay but that being

said let’s just kind of go into the

differences between both of these types

okay white rice is a refined product

they take the bran the germ the husk

away so you strip it down to like a pure

carbohydrate and it’s just what happens

that all the vitamins especially the B

vitamins are in the brand the germ okay

so brown rice obviously has more

nutrition okay it’s a little lower on

the glycemic index and this is higher so

both of these are pretty high so they’re

not good for losing weight now the brown

rice also has phytates

which are things that helps preserve the

rice they’re very powerful antioxidants

and they’re kind of anti nutrients

because they tend to chelate with other

minerals but I like phytates in a

supplement called ip6 and that

supplement helps to lower iron it helps

to chelate copper and doing that it’s a

real powerful way to prevent this excess

free iron and copper from causing a lot

of oxidative damage so it’s a really

powerful probably one of the most

powerful antioxidants if you were going

to take ip6 take it an empty stomach

because when you take it with food it

could key later take out some of the

other minerals but it’s not going to

take out potassium it’s not going to

take out some of the other minerals but

it will take out things like some of the

heavy metals and might deplete some

calcium not to any significant amount so

take it on an empty stomach and then

take it a few times a week okay and then

you’ll be totally fine but it’s not a

big deal but the benefits from ip6 are

quite huge especially in kind of

avoiding cancer because it actually

helps this oxidative stress situation

now the other problem with brown rice

is that it has arsenic in it and there’s

a lot of other products that you can be

exposed to arsenic with rice that go

beyond just actual brown rice like the

puff cereals you have the rice crackers

and the rice syrup so it’s in a lot of

different things but we don’t want our

snake on our body

it acts as a poison it blocks certain

pathways in the mitochondria it’s a you

can consider in a very powerful free

radical because it’s really destroys the

mitochondria and the way that you would

know that you have arsenic poisoning if

you look at the nail bed you have like a

kind of horizontal white streak through

it and you might have one or two that

could mean that you have arsenic

poisoning but it does block a very

healthy antioxidant called lipoic acid

other symptoms for arsenic poisoning

would be headaches drowsiness confusion

metallic taste in your mouth problems

swallowing cramps and your muscles and

hair loss okay so which is better

and it’s hard to tell because brown rice

has more nutrition but it also has this

darn more arsenic white rice has less

arsenic but it has no nutrition pure

carbohydrates and it’s higher in the

glycemic index so I honestly would avoid

both of these alright thanks for
