Cooked rice is far more nutritious than sugar, and it is also much lower in carbohydrates and calories.
Raw rice is a high-calorie, high-carbohydrate food. 100 grams of raw rice contains 70 grams of carbohydrates and 340 calories.
However, cooked rice is significantly lower in carbs and calories due to a large amount of water added during the cooking process.
100 grams of cooked rice is 60 to 70 percent water and contains only 25 grams of carbs and 116 calories.
Most importantly, in addition to carbs, rice also contains protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, and phosphorus.
Sugar is extracted from sugar beets or sugar cane, and it consists of 50% glucose and 50% fructose.
100 grams of sugar has a whopping 380 calories. However, Apart from Calories, Sugar Does Not Have Any Other Nutrients.
Unlike glucose, fructose cannot be directly absorbed and utilized by the body but is transported to the liver.
The liver converts fructose into fat, and excess fat accumulates in the liver, which can easily lead to a fatty liver over time.
