Is brown Rice OK to use instead of white rice?

Rice Diet - The Residential Clinic
Brown rice actually has some advantages over white rice and we prefer for people to have brown rice on most occasions, unless white rice is the only option. White rice starts out as brown rice, but after the husk, bran and germ are removed, then the starchy core, or endosperm is left. Brown rice has had just the outer husk removed, which is inedible, and because the bran and germ remain, the brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber per cup of cooked rice, vs. 0.74 grams left in the white rice.

Why not eat unmilled (brown) rice?

Golden Rice - FAQ
The natural oil-rich outer layer of the rice grain—the bran and the aleurone—is rich in some important nutrients, including vitamin B, and yet rice is generally consumed in its milled form, i.e. with the outer layer removed. If not removed, the oils undergo natural oxidation processes, the grain becomes rancid, affecting odour and taste, very rapidly, particularly in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Milling improves the long-term storability of rice without loss of taste.

Why use a stainless steel crown instead of just a white filling?

Frequently Asked Questions - Dr. Ewers, Dentistry for Kids, ...
Primary teeth have very thin enamel compared to the permanent teeth. For this reason, they do not hold big fillings well. "Big fillings" are repairs to large cavities on two or more sides of the tooth on first primary molars, and three or more sides on the second primary molars.

Why do my white roses open up with brown discoloration?

Houston Rose Society Merchant Discounts
Answer: The culprit is thrips. Thrips are tiny insects that suck on rose petals, turning the petals brown. You don't see this discoloration on red or pink roses, but it shows up clearly on white blooms. You have two choices: live with the discoloration or spray a mild insecticide directly into the bloom just before it opens. The thrips are not on the whole plant, so don't spray anywhere except into the center of the soon-to-open bloom. Each bloom gets one spritz of insecticide.
