I never heard of such but if there is a problem with rice I would think that it would be more related to quantity as aposed to frequency.

i've heard this same thing about rice, all i remember is that bodybuilders should stay away from white rice because it's a very refined carb, which means it'll smooth you out real fast esp. if you tend to gain weight easily on a high carb diet.

Brown rice hasn't had the fiber or the B vitamins washed away, like white rice. Instant rice, while artifically enriched, (chemicals sprayed on like breakfast cereals) isn't the best carb choice around.
