This whole brown vs. white rice thing has been bothering me. I recallresearching the topic in the past, and that's probably when I stoppedfretting about eating white rice. Look at the nutritional breakdown for100g of long grain below, courtesy of is brown rice really that dominant? Any of you brown rice eatershave any additional information that this comparison overlooks? Joe?

I took your comment to mean that brown rice was a good source of cholesterol-lowering fats. We both seem to be in agreement that the amount is actually insignificant.
