So today’s annoying TV ad is for Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain White Rice. Sound like an oxymoron? Umm, yeah!
What are whole grains? They are:
cereal grains that contain cereal germ, endosperm, and bran, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm.
So this product is a “whole grain” because they’ve taken white rice and added stuff that processing removed? This does not compute!
Check out the Washington Post’s review for lots of details (e.g., a ~4oz box of Uncle Ben’s Whole Grain White Rice costs about $2.79, while
a 2-pound bag — or 32 oz — of Uncle Ben’s Natural Whole Grain Brown Rice goes for $2.58).
If you’re going to eat grains (and there are arguments for avoiding/minimizing them), see Darya Pino’s intact grains vs whole grains and WAPF’s be kind to your grains for some useful info.

Juice with added fiber, “whole grain” white rice. If we don’t mangle foods to start with we don’t need things added. I’m with you…fewer whole grains. Have you read 4 hour body by the way?
I’ve been completely off grains for 2 1/2 months now; and I haven’t had a belly this flat since I was in sixth grade.
Also, the nagging pain in my thumbs (they are essential when you are a writer) is down considerably.
I don’t think grains, whole or otherwise, work for me.
