I created an account back in 2005. It started out being a great way to re-connect with friends that I had lost track of and then to keep in touch. I deleted my account two years later for the following reasons.
1. I had come to believe FB couldn't be trusted with my data.
2. The more friends I gained the worse the experience became. It went from people showing their vacation photos, which I was ok with, to a stream of meaningless nonsense that I didn't want to see. I.e Yeah, OK, you had a coke at lunch, but should I really care?
3. It became an unpleasant chore having to keep on top of even the valid activity.
It's worth noting that in the last year of use I just put a status up declaring that I no longer actively used Facebook so please contact via email instead, but the distrust of Facebook grew to a point where I ultimately decided to delete my account.
I'll never go back, and I hear they're full of ads now.
I can't find details on their process, but I wonder if they bothered to compare their results to hot water washing the rice prior to putting it into the boil water. I do this every time and I notice a mega amount of starch is taken away. It would be rather sad if they didn't account for this.
I don't know for certain whether or not they accounted for it, but I'm inclined to believe that your suggestion isn't the contributing factor to the reduced calories. I've read about this effect before, except with reheated pasta instead of rice (both seem rather similar to me) and the pasta was due to the resistant starches as well. This is the article that I read it in before [0].
