Sport white rice vs brown rice

[Steaksauce]

So, me and my roomate were talking last night and I mentioned the fact that I had purchased some brown rice. He promptly said I made a mistake because that stuff doesnt taste too good. I responded about how I had heard that brown rice was much better for you, he was curious as to why.

So..with that being said, why is brown rice better for you than white rice?

white rice has been stripped of its nutrients. better carb souces contain higher protein and fiber counts

Hrm. All I eat is white rice though.

I don't eat rice at all, but when it's made it's white, and I eat it.

Either way, brown rice isn't THAT nutritious of a source, so it's not that significant.
