Dr. Madhuri Patil Chaudhari:  If Genetically modified strain of rice is used,   how do we know what kind of Guna or properties the rice has in variant degress than those already mentioned in Samhitas or Granthas?Here in India, we still get the kind of rice that is described in Samhitas but still how do we know the source of variation in which and to what degrees. so better to concentrate on a particular esp. Shalishasti rice or all Granthokt rice variants as medicine and Protect it to prevent variation by Genetic modifications
Dr. Hardikchandra Kalal: One practical view in charaksamhita for rice :-
..तन्डुलान् पृथुकानपी l न जातु भुक्त्वान खादेन्मात्रा खादेद् बुभुक्षित: ll
(1) Should not be eat rice after meal.
(2) Should not be eat only rice in meal or when you would like to eat rice than in "मात्रा". it is more practical view of charak on rice.

Old rice water with honey and fenugreek seed is a good idea for endrogenic acnes….Old rice water with a half banana n a tsf of curd with a pinch of curcumin is a good skin lightning treatment…Rice as oral medicine …….Bran of  rice is rich phyto neurotransmitters so a long term oral intake of it can be suggested in neuropathies.
