Brown Rice-Beyond the Color Reviving a Lost Health Food - A Review by P. Dinesh Babu, R.S. Subhasree, R. Bhakyaraj and R. Vidhyalakshmi

Rice is a staple food for over half of the world's population. Today people are going for whole food, to the days our forefather had been eating. You hardly heard of cancer, heart attack and diabetics and so on. All these degenerative deceases in our present society are caused by the pollutants from within and without. White food, better known as refined carbohydrates was once a delicacy affordable only to the financially wealthy. However, financial wealth does not equate to a wealth of health. A primary reason for the development of refining wheat for white flour products is to establish a longer shelf life. Whole wheat flour left in sacks for long periods of time cause bugs to appear within it. In their natural form, whole grains contain natural nutrients vital to our health.
