I have always thought that white rice is good for you. I was recently told that brown rice is really the only rice that is nutritious. My question is what is the difference and what makes white rice bad?
Or good for that matter. Thanks

Well here's all I know. The only proper bodybuilder i've ever personally known (Proper as in competed and won a few regional titles) is my brother-in-law. He used to often eat white rice, so im sure that there are worse things to eat.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

well of course there are worse things to eat
there is worse things to eat than white bread too....
and i hate it when people say " well i know a bodybuilder than smokes/drinks/eats crap " so it must be ok to do anything they do
its all about doing the best for your body, not making excuses to eat something less than optimal!
its a fact, brown rice has more nutrients (more goodness!) and a lower-GI

White rice is a high-GI carb (like white potatoes, white bread, and white pasta) that will digest faster than other carbs, and convert to sugar, being stored as fat, unless you take them close to workout time so you can covert these carbs into energy before they completely digest.
You also have the 'open hour' after your workout to eat high-GI carbs (still push to avoid saturated fat toppings and additives - white rice being those most tolerable fir this) to replenish your depleted glycogen level ASAP so they are ready for your next workout.

(Excerpt taken from the first link listed below)
Brown rice has a higher nutritional value when compared to the milled and polished rice (white rice). While the GI of the white and brown rice were similar the insulin response for brown rice was significantly lower than for white rice.
Also rice in general is more of a medium gi carb not a high gi. It does have a high glycemic load though.
