But I know that Dr. Diana Schwarzbein highly recommends avoiding them...
They are highly processed and have a high GI</p>

<p>It's possible, though I've never heard of puffed brown rice.</p>

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>
