In additon, my understanding is the hull or the brown rice is high in fiber. Your stomach has to work harder to process the fiber in brown rice, so there for not as much is absorbed into your body. On the other hand, it is very easy for your body to break down white rice so the starch/sugar is absorbed quickly. The fiber also makes you feel full faster and the full feeling last longer.
