    White rice has been processed, fiber and husk removed, and much of the nutrients are absent also.

    The difference in gi between white and brown rice is very small. In the off season I would perfer a bit of an insulin spike to store the nutrients I am eating and keep my glycogen stores full. During a contest prep or normal diet I would agree brown rice is better. It keeps me full a bit longer which is beneficial during a calorie deficit.
