Black rice better regulates blood sugar, doctor says

A recent study found that sushi rice caused the largest spike in blood sugar levels compared to other rice varieties. This highlights the importance of choosing the right rice for those concerned about blood sugar. The study, conducted by a YouTuber, tested the impact of seven different types of rice on blood sugar. Black rice was found to have the lowest impact, while white rice and brown rice caused significant increases, though less than sushi rice. Doctor Li Ssu-hsien recommends black rice due to its lower glycemic index and high antioxidant content, which may help protect cardiovascular health. The study also examined red rice, Thai rice, and risotto rice.
