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.
At the same time, many people do need some sources of healthy carbs and rice can be a relatively safe option. Women especially often see negative effects on hormones from consuming too low carb of a diet for too long, and of all the grains, white rice is a generally safe option for safe carb consumption.
