Looks as if the white stuff in this comparison was doped with folate,
which raises questions about the other nutrients as well.

Perhaps it is the "enriched" variety.

No, they have stats for enriched rice, but I quoted the ones for "rice,
white, long-grain, regular, cooked". See the "Cereal, Grains, & Pasta"

What spurred me on this investigation was the nutritional comparison of
white rice with that Tamaki haiga Lew and I were talking about:

Now granted, the haiga outperforms white. But when you get right down
to it, the nutrition of either is quite nominal, hardly boast worthy.
Quite frankly, I'm willing to grant that white rice is not a nutritional
powerhouse. But can anyone provide stats that show brown rice is?
