Rice Confusion?

I read and have known for a while now that brown rice is supposed to be better for you.

More protein, more wholeness. So the other day I bought some brown rice and took it home and decided to compare the nutrition facts on the pack.

But I was surprised to find an almost identical nutrition fact panel on the 2.

What the?

Here are a few things that need to be considered to understand why brown rice IS the better option.

Calories
A cup of cooked, medium grain white rice has 242 calories vs. 216 calories in a cup of long grain brown rice.

Fiber
White rice has only 0.6 grams of fiber per cup compared to 4 grams of fiber in brown rice.

Carbs
White rice has 53.2 grams of carbs per cup vs. about 45 grams in a cup of brown rice. In addition, the 4 grams of fiber in the brown rice brings the total net carbs down to 41 grams.

Type 2 Diabetes
Harvard researchers found that eating five or more servings of white rice per week raised a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while eating two or more servings of brown rice per week actually lowered a person's risk of developing the disease.

I have started taking a cup (when dry) worth of rice through the day with my meals to ensure good energy at the end of the day for the gym.
