*Sigh*....this is the latest bizarre effort to track causes of Type II diabetes, and a great example of problems with trying to determine causes and correlations.
"Now a new study from researchers at Harvard<http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/170/11/961> reports that Americans who eat two or more servings of brown rice a week reduce their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by about 10 percent compared to people who eat it less than once a month. And those who eat white rice on a regular basis — five or more times a week — are almost 20 percent more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who eat it less than once a month." So - wait for the punch line - those who ate *two* servings of brown rice were compared to those who ate *five* servings of white race - and the white rice eaters *were more likely to develop Type II diabetes.* No comparison of other diet variations likely in those who routinely ate brown rice? Or of course, two servings of brown rice vs. *five* servings of white. * * How much is wrong with this conclusion?
