Eating rice won't make you fat. It's unscientific to simply say that eating rice makes you fat. The real cause of obesity is not rice, but excess energy. And rice will not cause diabetes.

first, let's learn about rice. Rice and steamed bread (pasta) are both carbohydrates, and the energy produced is basically similar, which is the main source of our daily energy. It accounts for about 6% of people's daily energy intake.

Among three kinds of productivity nutrients, carbohydrate, protein and fat, fat is more likely to cause energy surplus than carbohydrate. 1g of carbohydrate produces 4 kilocalories in the body, while 1g of fat produces 9 kilocalories. Studies have shown that if you improve carbohydrate and low-fat foods, you can satisfy your appetite with less energy. Therefore, eating foods rich in carbohydrates, such as rice, is not easy to cause excess energy.

On the contrary, rice is rich in various nutrients needed by human body, such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, vitamin E, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, copper and manganese.

From the glycemic index, the GI value of rice is 83, and the GI value of steamed bread is 88, which is similar to that of pasta. According to the requirements of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents, carbohydrates account for about 6% of the daily food and are the main source of human energy.

Secondly, there are two types of diabetes, type I diabetes and type II diabetes, among which type II diabetes patients account for 95%. The cause of diabetes is the result of the interaction of internal and external environment. There are many factors, and the situation will be very complicated for everyone, but overall, the following are the main factors that cause diabetes.

1. Genetic reasons. Genetic research shows that there are significant differences between people with a family history of diabetes and non-blood relatives, and the former is five times higher than the latter. The importance of genetic factors in the etiology of type 1 diabetes is 5%, while in type 2 diabetes it is more than 9%.

2. Mental factors. Studies by Chinese and foreign scholars have proved the role of mental factors in the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus. It is believed that mental stress, emotional excitement and various stress States will lead to the secretion of high blood glucose hormones, such as growth hormone, norepinephrine, glucagon and adrenocortical hormone.

3. Obesity factors. About 8% of adult diabetic patients are obese before the onset, and the degree of obesity is positively correlated with the incidence of diabetes.

4. Overeating for a long time. Excessive diet and overnutrition make the islet B cells with potential low function overburdened, which is easy to induce diabetes.
