Researchers in a recent study say that eating whole grains can cut the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Analysis of data from 39,765 men and 157,463 women found an 11% reduction in the development of Type 2 diabetes among people who ate two or more servings of brown rice per week compared with people who ate less than one serving a month.  

After adjusting for a number of dietary and lifestyle risk factors, the researchers found that people who ate five or more servings per week of white rice were 17 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who ate less than one serving of white rice per month. In contrast, people who ate two or more servings of brown rice per week were 11 per cent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who ate less than one serving of brown rice per month, the study authors reported.
