my thoughts exactly......
it seems like white rice has gotten a bad rap over the years because of it's rating on they glycemic index...but it's a lot easier to choke down than brown or grain rice
as far as rice goes all I really eat is white, to me it's better to eat more white rice than less brown

It is loaded with carbs thats what it is is a grain or "a carb" just like pasta wheat bread and other grain sources are loaded with carbs.
white rice and brown arent that different in GI actually long grains are almost the same actually
Brown Rice 55
Long grain White Rice 56
Short grain White Rice 72

I have a strong preference for brown rice but I do eat white if nothing else is available or my wife complains about too much brown rice. Brown rice promotes insulin sensitivity and white rice promotes insulin resistance. No bodybuilder needs increased insulin resistance.
A recent (June 2010) study was reported in WebMD as follows: "After adjusting for age and other lifestyle and dietary risk factors, people who consumed five or more servings of white rice per week had a 17% increased risk of diabetes, compared to people who ate less than one serving per month.
But eating two or more servings of brown rice per week was associated with an 11% reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes, compared to eating less than one serving of brown rice per month."
