The Claim
Cooling long-grain white rice increases its resistant starch content from 7.52 g/100g to 11.96 g/100g and reduces digestible carbohydrates by approximately 5g per 100g of rice, resulting in a reduction in postprandial glucose rise in individuals with type 1 diabetes.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Cooling long-grain white rice increases resistant starch and reduces digestible carbohydrates by about 5 grams per 100 grams, which leads to a lower rise in blood glucose after eating.
See the scientific wording
Cooling long-grain white rice increases its resistant starch content from 7.52 g/100g to 11.96 g/100g, reducing digestible carbohydrates by approximately 5g per 100g of rice, which explains the observed reduction in postprandial glucose rise in type 1 diabetes.
When rice is cooked and then cooled, the starch molecules rearrange into a tight, crystalline structure that digestive enzymes cannot break down. This means less starch turns into sugar in the gut, so less sugar enters the bloodstream after eating.
What the research says
1 studyChilling rice overnight turns some of its starch into a form your body can't digest, so it doesn't raise your blood sugar as much. This study proved that people with type 1 diabetes have much lower blood sugar spikes after eating cooled rice.
