Actually, you need to look no further than yourself when asking about

about brown rice, you replied that it had cholesterol-lowering

of myth.

Sorry, Crymad, but the above paragraph is just wrong.

Even your own links have listed monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats as
components of brown rice. So how can the claim be "bunk"? Are you going to
discount the very references you've been using?

The claim isn't bunk, it's just not particularly meaningful when brown rice
has only 3% of the recommended daily values of each type.

I took your comment to mean that brown rice was a good source of
cholesterol-lowering fats. We both seem to be in agreement that the
amount is actually insignificant.

Yes, yes. Agreement.

I merely pointed out their presence not their abundance. But I can see how
that could be misconstrued.
