I’ve always wondered this. They said too much white rice can cause acne as well as health problems like diabetes, obesity, heart diseases etc. but why do Asian countries have better skin and lower rates of these diseases compared to other countries who don’t consume white rice? Should I start eating white rice every day too?
Where did you hear the white rice thing? I've never heard of it causing acne.
I took a Nutrition class in college and I learned that foods with high glycemic index like white rice, white bread etc is associated with increase production of hormones that increases sebum production. And if you have too much sebum on your skin, you are more likely to develop acne. It also increases blood sugar levels which can lead to inflammation, which of course contributes to it.
The asians in my social circle have average skin. Some have terrible acne, some have it better, others are in between - like normal people. I haven't noticed this around me at all. Granted, my friends are asian-american. Your observation may be from actors and musicians who obviously will have better skin.
If this is actually statistical, I've also read that the beauty industry in Asia is booming. People, male and female, commonly have complicated skin-care rituals with dozens of products. Perhaps thats why? The disease statistic is likely due to the fact that weight is also important to them, and as such restuarants and even gas stations have healthier options.
They eat whit coloured food so much. so, if u eat white coloured food to that level, then u will also become one of like them. bcuz white foods contribute to skin colour they make our skin white and u know white skin looks good even if ur skin has some acne on it😊
I have a Chinese gf. She eats white rice quite rarely (once a week or less). It's a stereotype and it's not true. They eat more rice than us perhaps, but definitely not every day
Complicated skin care rituals?
