Brown Rice has a much higher nutritional value than white rice because the milling process to make brown rice is the least damaging and prevents the unnecessary loss of nutrients. This whole grain is rich in fiber which can help reduce high cholesterol levels. Another advantage of brown rice is that it contains rice bran oil, which is lost during the milling process to produce white rice. Rice bran oil has also shown to have beneficial effects on cholesterol.
