Yes it is. You can view a long list of refined (processed) carbohydrates, further down this page, listed under Related Questions
Rice is considered both a carbohydrate and a starch. It is a type of complex carbohydrate that primarily consists of starch molecules.
The main differences between the two forms of rice are how they are refined or processed and the nutritional content. When only the husk is removed from rice, brown rice is produced. In white rice the bran and germ layers are also removed
processed rice is where the factory takes out all of the nutrients and use a chemical to cahnge the color of the rice. whole wheat rice/Brown rice is where they do not process it and they leave the essential nutrients that rice has.

No, porridge oats are not considered refined grains. They are typically made from whole oats, which retain their bran and germ, providing more nutrients and fiber compared to refined grains. Refined grains, like white rice or white bread, have been processed to remove the bran and germ, resulting in a loss of nutrients. Porridge oats are a nutritious choice for a healthy diet.
Unrefined complex carbohydrates are the best; whole grains, like brown rice are very healthy.The best carbohydrates are from fresh (preferable organic) vegetables and fruits. They contain many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber. If you are following a low carbohydrate diet, or if you are carbohydrate sensitive, as many overweight people are, grains and rice can cause problems, especially when refined. When digested, all carbohydrates are sugars; problematic with diabetics, hypoglycemics, and with those struggling with weight issues.Some of the sugar-related side effects can be ameliorated by taking grains in their unrefined forms. The fiber and other nutrients similar to those found in fruits and vegetables can slow down the blood sugar "spike" caused by eating sugar and other unwanted side effects.
Carbohydrate
Cereal, rice, bread and potato all contain carbohydrate. They are all relatively high in carbohydrate.
No. Rice is not a low carbohydrate food. For the carbohydrate count of rice, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
If you have diabetics you should be eating a low carbohydrate diet. You can eat vegetables, lean meats, rice and whole-grain foods, but avoid refined sugars.
