hey guys so I recently had a question about rice and someone wanted to know what is better white rice or brown rice okay so I’m thinking are they watching my videos have they seen any of the videos on ketosis okay because we’re not recommending grains okay but that being said let’s just kind of go into the differences between both of these types okay white rice is a refined product they take the bran the germ the husk away so you strip it down to like a pure carbohydrate and it’s just what happens that all the vitamins especially the B vitamins are in the brand the germ okay so brown rice obviously has more nutrition okay it’s a little lower on the glycemic index and this is higher so both of these are pretty high so they’re not good for losing weight now the brown rice also has phytates which are things that helps preserve the rice they’re very powerful antioxidants and they’re kind of anti nutrients because they tend to chelate with other minerals but I like phytates in a supplement called ip6 and that supplement helps to lower iron it helps to chelate copper and doing that it’s a real powerful way to prevent this excess free iron and copper from causing a lot of oxidative damage so it’s a really powerful probably one of the most powerful antioxidants if you were going to take ip6 take it an empty stomach because when you take it with food it could key later take out some of the other minerals but it’s not going to take out potassium it’s not going to take out some of the other minerals but it will take out things like some of the heavy metals and might deplete some calcium not to any significant amount so take it on an empty stomach and then take it a few times a week okay and then you’ll be totally fine but it’s not a big deal but the benefits from ip6 are quite huge especially in kind of avoiding cancer because it actually helps this oxidative stress situation now the other problem with brown rice is that it has arsenic in it and there’s a lot of other products that you can be exposed to arsenic with rice that go beyond just actual brown rice like the puff cereals you have the rice crackers and the rice syrup so it’s in a lot of different things but we don’t want our snake on our body it acts as a poison it blocks certain pathways in the mitochondria it’s a you can consider in a very powerful free radical because it’s really destroys the mitochondria and the way that you would know that you have arsenic poisoning if you look at the nail bed you have like a kind of horizontal white streak through it and you might have one or two that could mean that you have arsenic poisoning but it does block a very healthy antioxidant called lipoic acid other symptoms for arsenic poisoning would be headaches drowsiness confusion metallic taste in your mouth problems swallowing cramps and your muscles and hair loss okay so which is better and it’s hard to tell because brown rice has more nutrition but it also has this darn more arsenic white rice has less arsenic but it has no nutrition pure carbohydrates and it’s higher in the glycemic index so I honestly would avoid both of these alright thanks for watching so we’ve been getting a lot of success stories but I don’t have your success story yet so click the link down below and upload you before and after I want to actually hear about your success story I want to see your before-and-afters and every week we do featured success stories so click the link down below and share your success
