    Brown rice vs. white rice? - Yahoo! Answers

    Brown rice has the same amount of carbs as white rice. But, the extra fiber in brown rice slows down the absorption of the carbs.

    Quoted: Since brown rice still has the bran intact, it is a much better source of fiber. In fact a cup of brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber while white rice has less than one gram of fiber.
    ...
    Another benefit from eating brown rice is caused by the fiber slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates. This will help tame the blood-sugar roller coaster that can happen from a high sugar-low fiber meal.

    The Healthiest Fast-Food Restaurants - Health.com

    Quoted: Out of 43 sit-down and 53 fast-service chains, those that did not provide any nutritional information (maybe next year, Cheesecake Factory!) were automatically eliminated. The rest were judged on healthy food preparation; the availability of organic or hormone-free foods; whole grains on the menu; limited or no trans-fats in all dishes; low-sodium options; healthy beverages; and portion control; as well as how easily you, the customer, can access nutritional information—so you know exactly what you’re getting in your spaghetti and meatballs.

    Cardio and Muscle Loss

    Quoted: Sure, it's possible for you to lose muscle from doing too much cardio, but it's highly unlikely. Shying away from cardio completely because you think you'll lose muscle is a huge mistake. Only excessive amounts of cardio would cause you to lose muscle because over-training tips the scale towards the catabolic side. It's difficult to generalize and pinpoint one specific amount as too much, but I think it's safe to assume that just about anyone could do up to 45 -60 minutes of cardio a day, 6 to 7 days a week without losing any muscle - as long as the proper nutritional support is provided.

    Evolution | Human races or human race? | Economist.com

    The study found that genetically, all humans are pretty much the same. But, there are some differences regarding the genes that control metabolism. Might this mean that the ideal nutrition program varies from individual to individual?

    Quoted: Dr Quintana-Murci found 55 genes that showed evidence of having undergone significant localised evolution.
    ...
    A further six regulated metabolism in various ways, probably in response to the different diets enjoyed by different people. (Some of these genes are of wider interest as they are involved in obesity, diabetes and hypertension.)
