According to VietNamNet, Dr. Manjari Chandra, a nutrition consultant at Max Gurugram Hospital in India, stated: "Many countries consider rice a staple grain because it contains carbohydrates that provide energy to the body. Most people are fine eating rice more than once a day as long as the amount consumed is moderate. But you should also consider the type of rice, the amount of rice, and the nutritional balance in your meal."

For people with diabetes, Dr. Shibal Bhartiya (Marengo Asia Gurugram Hospital, India) suggests they can eat rice, but need to pay attention to the amount of rice and the foods eaten with it.
