"If White Rice is Linked to  Diabetes,What About China?"

Rice currently feeds almost  half the human population

making it the single most  important staple food in the world,

following 350,000 people  for up to 20 years,

found that higher  consumption of white rice

was associated with a significantly  increased risk of type 2 diabetes,

They estimated each serving  per day of white rice

was associated with an  11% increase in risk of diabetes,

which may help explain  why the association

was even stronger in Asia  where they eat much more rice.

They have at about 10%,  we’re at about 11%,

despite seven times  less obesity in China.

Japan has 8 times less  obesity than we do,

yet may have a higher  incidence of newly diagnosed

They’re skinnier and still may have more diabetes,

maybe because of all  the white rice they eat.

Just like eating whole fruit is  associated with a lower risk of diabetes,

whereas eating fruit processed into  juice may not just be neutral

Eating whole grains, like whole  wheat bread or brown rice

is associated with  lower risk of diabetes,

whereas eating white rice,  a processed grain,

may not just be neutral but  actually increases diabetes risk.

White rice consumption does  not appear associated

with increased risk of heart  attack or stroke, though,

which is a relief after  this earlier study in China

But do we want to eat a  food that’s just neutral

regarding some of our  leading causes of death,

when we can eat something  associated with a lower risk

of diabetes, heart attack,  stroke, and weight gain?

But if you look at the  Cornell-Oxford-China Project,

rural plant-based diets centered  around rice were associated

with relatively low risk of the  so-called diseases of affluence,

Maybe Asians just genetically  don’t get the same

blood sugar spike when  they eat white rice?

No, if anything people  of Chinese ethnicity

The rise in these diseases  of affluence in China

over the last half century  has been blamed in part

on the tripling of the  consumption of animal source foods.

The upsurge in diabetes  has been most dramatic,

and it’s mostly just happened  over the last decade.

That crazy 9.7% diabetes prevalence  figure that rivals ours is new—

they appeared to have one of the lowest  diabetes rates in the world in the year 2000.

So what happened to their diets  in the last 20 years or so?

so maybe it’s the animal products  and junk food that are the problem.

Yes, brown rice is  better than white rice,

but cut to stop the  mounting Asian epidemic,

maybe we should focus   removing the cause—

That would be consistent with data showing

associated with  increased diabetes risk.

If the rise in meat  consumption is to blame,

then why do the biggest recent  studies in Japan and China

associate white rice  intake with diabetes?

The answer to this may be that animal  protein is making the rice worse.

If you feed people  mashed white potatoes,

this is how much insulin your  pancreas has to pump out

Tuna’s got no carbs,  no sugar, no starch.

Or maybe it would be even lower  than the mashed potato spike,

by lowering the glycemic  load of the whole meal,

Same with white flour spaghetti, and white  flour spaghetti with meat.

The addition of animal protein makes  the pancreas work twice as hard.

You can do it with  straight sugar water.

If you do like a glucose challenge  test to test for diabetes,

where you drink a  certain amount of sugar-

this is the kind of  spike in insulin you get,

but if you take in the  exact same amount of sugar,

but with some meat  added - you get this.

And the more meat you add,  the worse it gets.

Just adding a little meat to  carbs doesn’t seem to do much,

but once you get up to like a  third of a chicken breast’s worth,

you can elicit a significantly  increased surge of insulin.

This may help explain why  those eating plant-based diets

because animal protein can markedly  potentiate the insulin secretion
