 Context examples 

Previous studies have linked diets high in refined grains — such as white rice — to obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

(Pregnancy diet high in refined grains could increase child obesity risk by age 7, NIH)

Whilst high carbohydrate diets (common in Asian and less economically advantaged nations) tend to be high in refined carbohydrates such as white rice, may also contribute to a chronically high glycaemic load and worse metabolic outcomes.
