To top it all off, I worked in rice years for 8 years.
Today I was just surfing the websites of my former world of rice and found something interesting from a former colleague's personal blog that might be of interest to the readers of this blog: Rice for the diabetics.
We all know that diabetics are ordered to regulate their carbohydrate intake. Imagine therefore what it would be like for a rice-loving Asian like me to not be able to eat as much rice as I would like to?
There might be good news however, becuase Indian rice scientists have developed an herbal rice variety specifically for diabetics.
After a decade long research, S. Moorthy Satyamraju has developed herbal rice after treating Ponni, a variety of paddy, with a dozen anti-diabetic herbs.
"India tops the rank of diabetic patients with more than 10.2 percent of the total population being affected by diabetes. This menace is particularly higher in southern India since the staple food here is rice. After a research of 10 years, we have developed unique herbal rice. In this, we have mixed 12 different herbs in liquid form. We have tested it on diabetic patients and results are satisfactory. We are now planning to export this rice," said Moorthy.
Good news I guess, even to the diabetics of the west.

Yeah, but you can feel free yourself, if you takes alpha lipoic acid.
The amount of alpha lipoic acid used in research to improve diabetic neuropathies is 800 mg per day and 150 mg per day for glaucoma. However, much lower amounts, such as 20–50 mg per day, are recommended by some doctors for general antioxidant protection, although there is no clear evidence that such general use has any benefit.
