Natural health advocates have long advocated nutrient-dense whole grains
over the bleached and processed kinds, like white rice and white bread.
Brown rice, for example, is loaded with fiber, B vitamins,
phytochemicals and other nutrients. Scientists are now documenting that
it has specific disease-fighting properties, too. For example,
NaturalNews recently reported on Temple University research that found a
compound in brown rice which lowers blood pressure and may prevent
heart attacks (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/diet/alcaline/alk_diet.php).
