In episode 446 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta delves into the suggestions of Raghuram Rajan, Abhijit Banerjee and Amartya Sen on optimal use of existing stock of food.
Plan for paddy states with severely depleted groundwater levels is part of 5-yr vision document that agriculture ministry will present before PM Modi this week.
In a country where a third of the population lives in cities, agriculture uses about 90% of fresh water in India, compared with 64% in China, 60% in Brazil, and 44% in Nigeria.
News channels were also in two minds about removing stray dogs to the government dog pounds. NDTV took credit for it and CNN-News 18 called ‘controversial order’.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
21st edition of annual joint military exercise will be held from 1 to 16 September, aimed at sharing military tech, operational best practices & disaster relief coordination methods.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
A lot of people think it is some conspiracy. It is not. Problem is people nowadays things everything they can’t understand is a conspiracy.
The criticism is not against rice, but the processing. White rice is very bad for you, but brown rice and boiled rice are great.
The same is true for wheat also. White flour (maida) is very bad for you, but whole wheat flour is great.
This is not a promotion for wheat over rice, but showing that milling and removing too much germ layer is bad.
Milling makes storage easy and reduces losses and so reduces costs. But it is not healthy over time.
They want to promote wheat it seems.. some company might have paid for this research.. may God curse them for fake researches.. may God give them impotence and infertility..
Stop saying “paid” for everything you can’t understand. This has become a disease.
Rice is alright. Just don’t use white rice. Polishing rice is a very new process. All processed food has some problem, even white flour from wheat. Use boiled rice or brown rice.
Very well said Mr/Ms VS !
People like Akr see a conspiracy theory in every fact !
Any demographic that consumes 630g’s a day will see a much higher incidence of diabetes than the/a group that consumes 220g’s. Academics need to get out more.
I would advice eat 100 to 200 grams white rice a day max.
Bodybuilders tend to eat white rice a lot also. No problems there.
You have to move a lot, if you take in lots of carbs then you need to use the body also.
Not sitting around all day.
The taste of brown rice… tried it many times. No thank you.
Whole grain bread on the other hand tastes fine to me.
White rice tastes delicious though.
Bruce Lee ate white rice as well. As if all asians are having diabetes now .
Such nonsense.
This is the biggest lie of the century.
The multiple billion dollar pharma industry of the USA are the ones driving this campaign.
They are the minds of the devil.
They are the cause of millions of deaths across the world with the use of poisonous drugs and chemicals in the name of medicine.
Natural remedies are available for every disease, but this information is being suppressed.
Nothing is being suppressed.
Stop calling conspiracy for everything. It is stupid.
No pharma company gets a benefit from you switching from white rice to brown rice.
Diabetes has its roots in lifestyle & heredity.
Diabetes has nothing to do with rice.
The study clearly says otherwise.
Of course, it is also effected by lifestyle and heredity.
I agree with Som here.
Many bodybuilders eat white rice several times a day. With good effect.
Bruce Lee , one of the most famou martial artists also.
There’s too much fear mongering these days.
Add Ghee to the rice before consuming, it will take care of the high glycemic levels and enjoy it…..
Realising that consuming polished rice twice a day might cause diabetes, there are many families who consumechapati in their dinner.
My family has been practicing this habit for atleast 10-12 yrs now.
It is not just the white rice that is curlprit in this whole saaga. If you notice the eating habits, with white rice we usually have list of items in our plate. We consume white rice with curry/dal, chutney, rasam/sambhar and curd . With this big list we naturally consume more rice.
But with chapati this is not the case. We usually have one curry with chapati.
This difference in quantity of consumption, we can experience it after every meal. This makes us feel heavy after consuming rice, while not that heavy (very lite feel many times) after consuming chapati.
Diabetis is something that comes with hereditary,its totally illogical to link it to rice eating. If thts true then states like Andhra, Telangana, Tamilnadu and Odisha should be filled with people with diabetes,which isn’t the case. Our metabolism,age and daily activities also need to taken into account as all these things constantly differ in every individual, therefore rice eating doesn’t really matter to such an extent the way it’s been exaggerated in this article.
The case rates are exploding in these states.
We did not traditionally eat white rice which came only after machine processing.
Brown and boiled rice is better. We also ate low glycemic millets previously.
Eating a lot of millet can bring on thyroid issues for some. As is the case with soy. Mostly women are effected by this. But no one is safe.
Get the oatmeal out , much better choice.
Dear Sir, no where in the article there is mention of anything against South India.Stop having unreasonable hatred against North India and Hindi
This is a study, not politics.
Its saying white rice is bad, not all rice is bad.
Boiled rice, brown rice and millets are traditional in South India and they are much better for diabetes.
Most diabetic population is the US by percentage… One of the lowest white rice consuming country.
Stop putting out lies… Just stop
US is diabetic because they eat too much sugar.
India is diabetic because we eat white rice.
Note that white rice was not what we traditionally ate. Its newer than white sugar.
Useful and practical information..
Please let me know any alternative to white rice like oats… Can diabetics family and children take oats instead…
It’s confusing as so many things are sprouting.I have read a book called..what your doctor doesn’t know about NUTRITIONAL MEDICINES AND MAY BE KILLING you..BY Dr Ray D Strand.I came across this book while my 80 yrs old diabetic insulin dependant mother was having pleural effusion,asthma and generalized anasarca.Although her sister’s husband is a diabetologist and so many doctors could do nothing.But following the principles of this book,she is absolutely correct.we are also doind the same.9437032554,Dr Nihar Ranjan sinha.
Junk science. Sugar consumption is the culprit. South asians consume more sugar than the Chinese, hence their higher diabetic profile. Give up sugar and your rice consumption will pose less of a danger for diabetes. Better still, exercise and watch your weight for better diabetic outcomes.
Sugar is carbohydrate just the same way rice is carbohydrate, another similarity is they both are simple carbohydrate as refered in the article as white rice. Issue is complicated, blaming one over another is not going to get us anywhere.
No rice is not same as sugar. Fructose in sugar gets metabolized quite differently than rice.
I don’t think the study is junk science, but Ramjeesingh does have a point.
Sugar can be considered a confounder for the study, but they have to start somewhere.
Fake research findings. Absolute BS. This type of biased and dirty games had dealt a death blow to coconut oil in favour of palm oil earlier.
Does Sekhar Gupta have the balls to oppose rice bran oil marketed by Saurav Ganguly, whic is actually mineral oil, the greatest cause for pancreatic diseases. The revolution is here and now, we resist the evil corporation that runs these publications.

The aurhor as I have been noticing, writes like a paid agent for big pharma companies. If her statement would have been true, entire South India would been diabetic by now. Instead of blaming rice, blame the lifestyle, blame crazy regulators with pharma companies decide what is diabetic measuring point. Like they did for cholesterol once, FDA went to remove that myth recently after billions of statins made pharma and share market billionaires. Highly unethical that the standards of journalism falls. My post may get deleted, but at least it will Shekar Gupta whom I have very high regards.
This kind of study about food habits of some of the oldest part of the world is somewhat suspect. One wonders, who sponsored this study across 21 countries, which would cost a bomb? Is it an attempt of Western food processing companies to push their products into big asian markets? Rice is not consumed throughout India, but mainly in south India and Bengal. This is not the staple food in north India or even in Gujarat. So bracketing entire South Asia (meaning thereby India+Pakistan) seems to be too sweeping a statement. One should not readily give up food habits which have prevailed in a region for many centuries or even millennia. Ayurveda advises that one should consume locall grown food and eat all seasonal fruits and vegetables for good health. One must not change established food habits based on suspect researches.

But it won’t negate the glycemic load of grains.

Number one is the vegetable oil and refined oil.
An article involves database I would be easier to understand if it has INFOGRAPHIC method. This is completely in text format not looks good.
Do you want to change the country to HINDI speaking people
Stop damaging and occupying our south india.. and trying to bring in North Indian culture

6100 people out of. 132000, which is 4.5 %. But look at the title of article. This is how media give twist to the fact and truth
