Almost everyday, I would say 5-6 times a week. I like rice.

When you eat it, do you just boil it and then eat it after?
or do you remember to leave it steeped in water, overnight before the day you eat it?

Because if you eat rice that often, you should probably be doing it the right way,
to minimise how harmfull eating that much rice can be.

It's only harmful in theory.  In practice, the populations that traditionally ate the most rice were amongst the healthiest.  In your previous post you talked about heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and yet these diseases largely afflict people eating the western diet high in meat, dairy, eggs, and refined carbohydrates.

Type 2 diabetes isn't caused by sugars or starches, it's caused by saturated fat and cholesterol building up in the body and modifying the insulin resistance of the body's cells.  The sugar then comes along and acts as the trigger, but the cholesterol plaque and saturated fat was the cause.

Cancer rates were far lower in populations that traditionally ate lots of rice.  Though as those populations eat more animal products and processed foods their cancer rates are rising sharply.

Heart disease?  Heart disease was largely unknown in Asia until the Western diet started to become more popular there.
