    Okay, well that’s just wat less interesting. It’ll be great if this helps people walk again. But I also wanted to read about the regenerative properties of rice.

      It would give a whole new depth to “put it in some rice”.

        Broke your foot? Put it in some rice. Losing your hair? Dunk your head in some rice 10 minutes a day.
