Scientists have developed a new rice variety which they say tastes like white rice but have all the health benefits of the brown. Researchers who refined the milling process to create the special rice said the new variety is good for the heart, helping keep a lid on blood pressure and protecting the arteries from narrowing. Satoru Eguchi, a heart expert at the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, tested this special variety in his lab and found that it could be good for the heart. The findings were published in the American Journal of Hypertension.
