Regular rice

Rice varieties are distinguished by their amylose content. There are two basic types common and waxy. Waxy rice has an amylose content of 0-2%. Common or regular rice varieties are referred to as having amylose contents that are low (9-20%), medium (20-25%) or high (>25%) amylose. The availability of waxy rice is usually limited and large requirements for waxy rice are contracted in advance to ensure a supply. 

The fiber of rice bran products, especially the RiceMucil is helpful in maintaining normal gastrointestinal and colon health (Tomlin and Read, 1988). It helps in bowel regularity. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and colitis get excellent relief with RiceMucil . As has been mentioned in the earlier part of this chapter, the fiber of rice bran is non-bloating and lactose free, and the acidic environment the fiber creates during the fermentation of undigested food improves colon health and induces all the healthy enzymes and fnendly bacteria to proliferate (Folino et al, 1995 Life Sciences News Letter, 1999). It has been scientifically demonstrated to have an excellent nutritional support for gut and colon health.

When heavy infestations of weevil are controlled with insecticides rather than by drainage, the depressing effects on yield of drainage and of root destruction by weevils would be avoided. While it remains to be proved, it would appear that under conditions of heavy infestations insecticidal control without drainage should materially increase yields. Should future work show that similar results may be regularly obtained, we may conclude that insecticidal control of the rice water weevil is more effective, is cheaper, produces higher yields, requires less water, and will materially lessen the mosquito populations of the rice area. 

The argument is persuasive enough in the Burmese case to exclude this entirely from the generalisations made about Southeast Asia by the authors discussed below, most of whom are in practice Indonesia specialists. In environmental terms, the major Southeast Asian dry zone of the mid-Irrawaddy basin, where rains were regular but not year-round, contained substantial areas very suitable for the irrigation of permanent bunded rice-fields. The ease of military movements both on the river and across the basin in the dry season made this a natural area for a substantial state. By contrast, the vast area persistendy covered by what Lieberman calls fluid, small-scale Tai polities , seems almost equally resistant to the bureaucratic state as does the Archipelago, partly for similar environmental reasons.
