Brown rice is considered a moderate-oxalate food. A wide range of foods, mostly of plant origin, contain various amounts of the natural compound oxalic acid. Your body metabolizes this compound into a form of salt called oxalate, which serves no known purpose in the human body. Consequently, more than 90 percent of oxalate is filtered out by the kidneys for urinary excretion.
The health benefits of brown rice for diabetes have been proven by researchers from all over the world. By eating 50 gms of brown rice a day, the risk of diabetes can be reduced to around 16 %.
