Brown rice is healthier than white rice. The former contains more dietary fiber from the bran. Dietary fiber is useful for calorie and weight management, binding of excess glucose and cholesterol in the intestine and removing them from the body. Fiber may also help improve bowel motility, thereby reducing the risk of constipation and colon cancer. Brown rice may also contain more naturally occurring B-vitamins than white rice.
