Rice bran is being promoted as 'The Whole Body Bran'. Like oat bran, it is claimed, rice bran is potent in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Like wheat bran, it is a good laxative. It is argued that these claims are premature. In particular, the scientific evidence that rice bran can reduce the risk of heart disease is too flimsy to justify the claims that have been made.
