Wheat Flour vs Brown Rice Flour.. Which is healthy?

[mahinthan5]

Wheat Flour is some thing what we use for Rotty..Which is imported from USA.
(I'm not talking about whole or aata flour)

Brown Rice flour is the one we use when we do Puttu or Idiyappam

I always prefer the wheat over Rice flour because of it protein content and taste. But i heard people telling Brown rice flour is better than wheat flour. They say wheat flour cause diabetes and arthritis. I know all flour contain glucose. I want to know how wheat flour become worse than Rice flour if they are correct. Does wheat flour having any thing which increase the chance of diabetes and arthritis? If you say certain nutritions are absent in wheat flour thats ok for me.. Still i can get them from other sources right?

According to my knowledge rice flour is much better than wheat flour. My mother is suffering from diabetics and high blood pressure, what doctor said was not to consume wheat flour because it contains glucose. On the other hand it has the chances to gain your weight as well. Best thing is rice flour or whole wheat flour.

All I know is, brown rice is better that white rice because it contains less fat than the other.

But when i look in calorie that fat difference you can ignore. But Rice flour contain lot of carbohydrate and less protein in noticeable amount compared to wheat. I know doctors are saying it but i need the source
