With all the studying you do, I'm surprised you don't know "why" the high carb white rice works. But hey, not everyone is willing to experiment, as you, growing "flying" chickenfeed. ;-)
I think I'll have to go back to a more controlled experiment of white rice and salmon, being sure that white rice is the only source of carbs. It doesn't make sense that high carbs of white rice would be good, but it hasn't at first glance logically made sense that Fats are good for us, either.
Thanks for the reports on your experiments, I'm going back to read more of your blog.
