Is rice good or bad for you? White rice or brown rice — which is actually healthier? For decades, mainstream nutrition has had a very clear answer. But what if that answer has been wrong the entire time? In this episode, Dr. Steven Gundry — bestselling author, cardiothoracic surgeon, and one of the world’s leading experts on lectins and gut health — takes on one of the most debated foods on the planet.

The type of rice you’re eating, where it comes from, and how you’re cooking it could be making a much bigger difference to your blood sugar, your gut, and your inflammation levels than you ever realized. Dr. Gundry also shares the results of a personal experiment he ran on himself — the numbers were so surprising, even he didn’t see it coming.
