By eigindia White rice is much more dangerous in terms of glycemic index than white bread. It has glycemic index of 102, which is even higher than that of glucose. This means it spikes blood sugar levels rapidly, increasing the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Regular consumption of white rice, especially in large quantities, should be replaced with healthier alternatives like brown rice, quinoa, or millets to maintain better glycemic control.
