Il riso è sicuro da mangiare? Il dottor Greger dice di no, il dottor Barnard dice di sì?!

Con rapporti usciti negli ultimi anni che mostrano l'alto livello di arsenico nel riso e nei prodotti a base di riso come gallette di riso, latte di riso e riso contenente alimenti per l'infanzia molti educatori sanitari, tra cui il dottor Michael Greger, hanno espresso preoccupazione e consigliato cautela quando si tratta di consumare riso. Tuttavia, recentemente ho sentito il dottor Barnard parlare di riso e del perché non è eccessivamente preoccupato. Quindi scopriamo perché….

  1. The Chinese and other countries where rice is a staple that they have been eating for centuries without issues. I go with Neal Barnard and don't agree with Dr. Greger. Another awesome video Plant Based Science London and thanks for the information.

  2. Does Thai rice contain arsenic? I asked Google. Answers . . .

    "They also found that arsenic concentration is higher in Thai and Jasmine rice (0.11-0.51 and 0.11 µg/g) found in Thailand compared to the Indian rice."

    "Thai jasmine rice has lowest amount of poisonous arsenic of any rice in the world, University of California research finds."

  3. Let's not forget the plastic pellets China has been fabricating and adding to rice as a filler. Many videos on this. Some as much as 20% of overall content and floats when the rice sinks I understand.

  4. White rice has very little nutrition in it, it's mostly empty calories, very few trace minerals. White rice is not really a whole food, it has too much processing. I was already doing half white rice, half bulgur which is a great combo. But I have just swapped that by quinoa and I've been loving it, so I think it will be my new staple, maybe half quinoa half bulgur. Quinoa has a lot more fiber and micronutrients, and it's a complete protein. All the amino acids are there, so a it's a much better choice. If you rinse it it will taste better.

  5. Rice has zero advantage over other grains. There’s no reason to eat rice outside of pleasure. If pleasure is what you’re after then the American diet may suit you.

  6. why bother there are lot of other cereals other than rice. team master nerd Greger big thx for the whistle blowing

  7. I am going to be blunt here – I don't place anyone ahead of Dr Greger. That's because Greger does not place anything ahead of research, results, and scientific evidence published.
    Greger has thus far had an impeccable record and he steers away from the profit motive.

  8. I don't understand why some people are having trouble with this. If you live in the US or Europe not eating rice is so easy, you do NOT have to eat rice. Why would you if there's any doubt about it?I mean, you have buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, bulgur, etc why would you think you MUST eat f…rice?

  9. I would like to know if in communities or cultures where rice is a stable food, has cancer rates gone up? Like in Asian countries or some latin countries?

  10. Dr. Greger's concern is about American grown rice. Usually (except for California) rice is grown on fields that were used to grow cotton, and arsenic was liberally used. That arsenic is still in the soil and rice absorbs it.
    Anyway, that's how I understand it.
    I don't think the same is true for Thai Jasmine rice or Italian rice.

  11. 2 experts have a little bit of disagreement, but we can't question either one of them because the media says experts are never wrong. Is experts wherever wrong then we of course should have the right to question and think for ourselves

  12. Dang. I love brown rice. I try to buy Lundberg rice from California . That’s a lot of extra work to soak and twice-drain rice……I don’t usually plan a day ahead what I will cook…… I might be full of arsenic, been eating brown rice for 40 years.

  13. Tests show that Lundgren's organic brown rice has extremely low amounts of arsenic. It may be the only brown rice to safely buy, grown in the United States. Most rice grown in the U.S. are grown where DDT was grown in the past, especially in the South East where cotton was once grown, which resulted in soils high in arsenic.

  14. Only white rice, no colored rice. Brown rice always feels toxic after I eat it. Never with white rice or other whole grains. And white rice tastes so much better. Cooking rice with 5 times more water is an abomination. It should be at most 1.5 to 1 and 1 to 1 if using a rice cooker or instant pot. NEVER will I cook rice that way. NEVER!

  15. i'm from thailand. and i think this video is made from western perspective and may be for western audience only.

    for asian, rice is staple. we’ve eaten it for thousands of years. it’s a culture, not a choice. you only focus on arsenic. but rice and the way we eat it is complicated than that.

    rice as whole grain is full of nutrition and considered health food too. in thailand, we have lots of rice varieties and in different colors. for example, one of them is black, called riceberry, is high in nutrition, antioxidants, fibers and it’s called superfood here. not just whole grain we have organic rice widely available too.

    and more than that, the way we eat it is mainly with thai traditional food that is always full of herbs and spices. so for the good part, i think it can somewhat reduce or counterbalance its arsenic effect (if it’s ever happened here). especially for me, i’ve eaten plant based food and detox drinks/smoothie for years so i am not afraid of cancer at all.

    western people can eat whatever you can grow but here i’m living in a country which is like a rice eaters’ paradise, so i see no reasons not to eat it. i eat rice everyday (about 50% of my grain intake). thai can have rice as ingredient in lots of menu including snacks and desserts too.

    i don’t have data about arsenic in thai rice but since there are a lot of rice varieties growing everywhere in thailand i'm afraid it’s hard to find data that can cover it all. for me the more concerning issue with rice for thai and most asian may be not arsenic but most of people still choose to eat white rice with so little nutrition and non-organic rice with pesticide residue.

  16. Arsenic is a good reason to avoid rice. It's high glycemic level is another. I understand the dilemma for those where rice is a big part of their culture, but chicken was a big part of mine but I let it go. We always have options.

  17. that's exactly one of the reasons why I never eat rice. besides, rice fields are one of the major sources of methane in the atmosphere, which makes it even less desirable on my plate

  18. Sorry. Not helpful. After making all those preparations to clean and cook the rice is the arsenic level back down to the level whereby arsenic would be naturally occurring as in other foods that we eat with arsenic but are trace levels and this depicted as ok? Because if it isn't or it wouldn't be then why on earth would Dr Bernard suggest we make/take all the effort to conduct all those steps to soak, cook and rinse???? No seriously, what a palava! This needs answering because without this true comparison, the video is not conclusive and just confuses people even further.

    Sorry. But it needs a follow up.

  19. I shop asian grocery store. All rice I buy are product of Thailand/Vietnam. These video of "rice bad" very bad messaging. Country I from we eat lots of rice with vegetables, beans and occasional meat. No heart disease, cancer, diabetes. Also rice prep you just rinse, toss in rice cooker, press button. Done 10 min. Fast food. So easy.

  20. Thanks for another good summing up concise video on an important issue. The point about rotating one's grains could have been added I feel, naming grains and pseudo grains such as wheat berries, barley groats, oat groats, corn, various millets, buckwheat, teff and quinoa. I regularly eat many of these as well as whole brown rice.

  21. When western with the highest processed foods, obesity, cancer, heart diseases rates start lecturing about food that was eaten by the east without issues for centuries one must worry✌️

  22. Aside from the arsenic rice water is healthier than rice itself. That's why allied Natives fighting along Americans scoffed at cooked rice but drank heartily the discarded water in which it was boiled.
    So if you're going to throw away the water you might want to reconsider eating rice at all. Rice is already a fractionated food, heat denatures it further making it prone to cause the sort of mineral imbalances such as that weakens the teeth and leads to cavities. It sure is cheap, tasty and convenient, but not an ideal food.

  23. The Great Salt Lake in Utah is basically an arsenic dust machine. In other words, you don't need to eat rice to get exposed to environmental arsenic.

    Arsenic has been used in building construction for eons. Now it (among other carcinogens like asbestos) is being released into the air when wildfires level neighborhood, towns and cities. This comes back down to earth with the rain and snowfall and is contaminating the groundwater and soils.

    Honestly, the rice you eat isn't the worst culprit. It's not helping that the rice has arsenic in it, but it isn't the only source of the poison. It's also in your air and water.

  24. Does anyone know the testing on all rice from the different countries? I understood that Thai, Indian and Italian rice has lower levels. What's the least contaminated?

  25. I always cook my rice with loads of water and rinse with boiled water when done.
    I think this deals with most of the arsenic.
    I never cook "closed pan".

  26. Not all rice is the same. It's not so much about rice itself as about where the rice is grown. In the States, for example, most soil is contaminated with arsenic (perhaps except for California), so the rice grown in such soil would have an unacceptably high level of arsenic. But most countries where rice is the main staple, such as Korea, Japan and China, the soil is not as contaminated with arsenic. Moreover, the governments in such countries regularly examine the arsenic level in their rice so that it's maintained within the safe level.

  27. There's a lot of skinny healthy people in Thailand or Vietnam who eat white rice with vegetables and fruit and tofu, maybe little bit of fish and eggs. It's easier to digest and is gluten free. Here in the west we obsess too much about small things but over in South East Asia they don't worry, they are more laid back and they enjoy their rice everyday. If you are eating white rice with deep fried chicken and sugary soda that's a different story..

  28. If your genetic is not adapted to eating rice, you should limit it. But for people who has adapted to eating rice for hundreds of years, rice is life. For ASIANS, bread is not staple, burgers and fast junk foods introduced by Westerners.

  29. Thanks for comparing those two somewhat opposite opinions. I'll still avoid rice but it was nice to hear what dr Bernard has to say
