Rice, in one form or another, is one of the most important staple foods in the world and has been for possibly thousands of years. If you are trying to keep from developing diabetes, you may want to take a close look at the rice you are eating. A new meta-analysis showed that, “each plate of white rice eaten in a day – on a regular basis – raises the risk of diabetes by 11 per cent in the overall population.”

The research work claimed that rice is the most dangerous ingredient for the diabetic patient.

It is even worsted that the sugary drink and damages your body at high extent.

It is a common suggestion from physicians and researchers to the diabetic patient that they should cut off the sugary drinks from the diet. The sugary drinks are considered as the prime source of obesity and other health diseases.

Also, as compared to Caucasians, the Asians are more predisposed so they do not have to be obese to be at the high risk of health issues.

It is observed in the research that the consumption of starchy white rice increase the risk of high blood sugar level and can lead to diabetes.

You have not said anything. You can't just criticize the consumption of rice without valid reason(s).

Do you know that brown rice and white rice have nearly the same glycemic index. The only reason why brown rice is considered over white rice is due to its high fibre content. Consumption of white rice in itself is not harmful. It is its over consumption that is bad. Moreover, it is always advisable to combine rice with proteins such as beans,eggs,meat or even fish. Better still a nice amount of vegetables. This reduces the overall glycemic effect of white rice on one's blood sugar level.
