Researchers explain that rice — especially unprocessed varieties — contains less fat and sodium than refined wheat products, and has a lower glycemic index (GI), which may help reduce oxidative stress and insulin resistance.

In addition, compared to rice, wheat undergoes a milling process that results in a finer texture, but which also leads to greater nutrient loss. This difference may also be related to the typical cooking methods for both rice and wheat-based products, with wheat-based foods often being prepared with more red meat and oil. In China, for example, wheat-based foods would include meat-filled buns, oil-splashed noodles, youbing (deep-fried pancakes) and youtiao (deep-fried breadsticks).

研究人员解释，与精制小麦相比，大米的脂肪和钠含量较低，且不含胆固醇，升糖指数更低，会减少人体内的氧化应激和胰岛素抵抗。

此外，与大米相比，小麦要经历研磨成粉的过程，精细程度更高，营养流失也更严重；此外，这可能和大米和小麦的烹饪方式有关，小麦往往搭配更多红肉、油等，比如肉包子、油泼面、油饼/油条等。
