Wild/brown rice is fine. However, white rice has been stripped of all it's nutrients and is basically the same as eating white bread.

It has. All rice is naturally brown. White rice is made by removing that brown shell which contains the majority of rice's B vitamins and fiber. Furthermore, because the "husk" is removed, the rice digests MUCH faster and doesn't keep you full as long.

And he is correct in that it is the same principle behind whole grain wheat bread vs white bread. They take the wheat grains and remove the nutritious parts.

To further supplement his point, look at some of the books about Japanese nutrition pre World War 2.

During the Edo period, the high-class City-Dwelling Japanese would regularly contract an illness they called Beriberi, which was cured by a brief spell in the country. What was basically happening was they were suffering from B Vitamin deficiency from eating the delicacy of White Rice. When they went back to the countryside and ate the less-stripped rice from those regions, they'd recover.

The same problem occurred during World War II, when they were recruiting soldiers to the Navy through offering the recruits, mostly country boys, white rice as part of every meal to entice them. The government then faced the problem of beriberi in contradiction to their promises.

The FDA requires all vitamins lost in the husk removing to be added back. And you could get them by taking a multivitamin, which everyone should do. And the fiber in brown rice is negligible.

Not all vitamins are reintroduced during the refortification process. And 4-5 grams of fiber per cup isn't what I would call negligible. That's damn good considering 35 grams of fiber a day is recommended for adults. 0.4 - 0.5 grams is negligible, 4 grams is 9% of the RDI.

The loss of fibre also means the rice is digested more quickly, which leads to a higher insulin spike and means you get again hungry sooner.
