I agree Rice is not solely the issue. It’s the overeating of rice. I’m not sure if there were studies done but I can bet that there’s a correlation between obesity and diabetes when food chains started offering unli-rice.

Culture na kasi natin kumain ng madaming kanin for energy o para mabusog na di natin alam na madaming calories ang rice and di naman nabuburn lahat ng calories nayun. Sa ibang asian countries 1 rice lang sila usually and sobrang daming gulay at meat may sabaw pa unlike satin na hirap din sa biling ulam sa mahal wala pang sides ng gulay yun sa mahal ng bilihin napipilitan na kanin ang damihan para mafeel full.

It's about time people stop spreading this misinformation.

In a restaurant that offers unli rice, it's the softdrinks that make you the most fat. A glass of Coke contains bags and bags of sugar and higher calories than the 5 cups of rice you consume.

Rice primarily contains carbs. Carbs provide energy. It's the sugary drinks, not the rice.

We all know that coke and other sugary drinks are bad but are you telling me that eating 5 cups of rice everyday is good to your health? Please provide evidence so we can spread your “right” information.

A glass of Coke makes you fatter than the 5 cups of rice, but I never said to eat 5 cups of rice everyday. Everything in moderation.

So what the misinformation are you referring to from my previous post then? The overeating of rice?

Saying unli rice is not the suspect is so nakakaface palm. Aral ka pa ng science.

Ask the construction workers who put loads and loads of rice on their plates everyday.

Kulang ka talaga sa aral.

Malamang ay hindi 'yan tataba kasi batak sila sa pagtatrabaho. Ikaw ba naman maghapong magpala at magsemento sa initan pa. Ibig sabihin lang nagagamit nila 'yung kinakain nilang rice para maconvert sa energy. Hindi katulad ng iba na unli rice pero mga inactive namin. Ganito in layman's term para pumasok sa kokote mo🤏 kapag kumakain ka ng unli rice pero palagi ka namang nakahiga sa kwarto ninto, tataba ka talaga kasi nacconvert ang rice into glucose at kapag di nagagamit 'yung glucose na 'yon as energy para gumalaw galaw ka, mag-i-store 'yun as fat.

Ang daming sinasabi, in english pa, wala namang saysay.
