In the British Medical Journal (BMJ), Sun's team said the link emerged from an analysis of four previously published studies, carried out in China, Japan, Australia and the United States.
These studies followed 350,000 people over a timescale from four to 22 years. More than 13,000 people developed Type 2 diabetes.
In the studies carried out in China and Japan, those who ate most rice were 55 percent likelier to develop the disease than those who ate least. In the United States and Australia, where consumption of rice is far lower, the difference was 12 percent.
Participants in the two Asian countries ate three or four servings of rice a day on average, compared to just one or two servings a week in the Western countries. |

Maybe it isn't such a good idea to eat diabetes. |

| People have been eating white rice for thousands of years. Surely there are many other factors like the other things you eat such as fast food, drinking, etc... |

This isn't really new. Hell, there are nutritionists who argue you shouldn't be eating grains at all. I even saw a Korean documentary about this. The paleo diet is one way to treat diabetes.

And grains weren't a big part of our diet until the Agricultural revolution. |

| Actually white rice (polished rice) as we know today as a staple is pretty recent and pretty much only for those that could afford it. Brown rice (unpolished rice) was much more prevalent until recently. |
