They are highly processed and have a high GI</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147285/popped-rice-phytic-acid/147290#147290 Answer by raydawg for Popped rice phytic acid? raydawg 2012-09-05T09:57:38Z 2012-09-05T09:57:38Z <p>If it's white rice, there shouldn't be much if any, as the antinutrients were in the part that was removed, so it's not very different from eating a load of sugar. </p> <p>It's possible, though I've never heard of puffed brown rice.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147285/popped-rice-phytic-acid/153405#153405 Answer by Mike T for Popped rice phytic acid? Mike T 2012-10-03T15:34:44Z 2012-10-03T15:34:44Z <p>Kurt Harris eats it, for what that's worth. I agree with raydawg that most of the antinutrients have been removed. And, if you get the generic brand, there usually isn't any added sugar (rice krispies have some added sugar). I don't agree that it's necessarily similar to eating a load of sugar as it would have much less fructose (if any?) than sugar. It should be mostly starch. I think it's fine in moderation as a source of carbohydrate and/or calories as long as you are eating other more nutrient dense foods also. And I'd maybe avoid it if trying to lose weight.</p>
