It isn't really accurate to say that white rice has no value. It
does, just not as high as brown.
This page shows some of the nutrients in rice comparing them by
each element.

Quite true. In any case, the extra nutrients and fiber in brown rice
aren't going to make the slightest different unless your diet is
borderline deficient in some of these elements.

Brown rice is great in some situations, but not, puhlease, in Chinese
cooking.


The bottom line for me is that I really like white rice. Its use has
grown in my diet over the years as I've moved to more stirfry-type
dishes (and other similar things) as it makes a nice base for those
dishes. I even eat my chili over rice a lot these days.
