Friendly fiber - brown rice consumption boosts fiber intake

The next time you decide to break your low-fat diet by having a Chinese dinner with all the trimmings at Chew Sum Fat, you could at least attempt to increase your nutritional intake. Talk the server into letting you substitute brown rice for white. Your fortune cookie could read: "You will boost your fiber intake by more than 200 percent." Ancient Chinese secret? Naw, it's just that brown rice is the whole grain, so it still contains its fiber-rich bran--and more B vitamins too.
