"Each large serving of white rice was linked to an 11
percent increased risk..."

Each large serving per day over some period of time, I
guess is what is meant. I was in a small mom-and-pop
oriental grocery where they have 50-lb sacks of white
rice stacked all over when some Chinese guy comes in
and trucks out four sacks to his car. I asked the
owner if his store is where local Chinese restaurants
come for their rice. He told me all his Chinese
customers buy 50-lb bags since Chinese people eat lots
of white rice every day for breakfast, lunch and
dinner.

I eat white rice every now and then, but I prefer
brown. What gets me is that brown rice is more
expensive than white even though it has less work done
on it to bring it to market.
