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.
Clark said brown rice is high in fiber and diets high in fiber are protective for a number of risks including colon cancer, obesity, and diabetes.. So adding more whole grains, such as brown rice, is always a good thing. The fact that those who chose brown rice tended to live more health-conscious lives than white rice eaters exaggerated the reduced risk of diabetes seen in the study, but it does not explain it away, Willett said.
