Whats so bad about reheating rice?

I keep hearing all sorts of warnings about reheating rice.

I m 19. My family has been keeping leftover rice, pasta, whatever and reheating it whenever there were leftovers.

We ve been doing this for over a decade... and nothing has happened.

I ve had check ups by doctors for many things and they say I m healthy.

I m active and exercise regularly. I have never been ill from the food we ate.

So what s the problem?

    Rice can contain a bacteria called bacillus which is one of the most resistant forms. So if you leave the rice after cooking the bacteria can multiply once it reaches its optimum temperature making it unsafe to eat if you reheat it.

    Pasta is actually supposed to have less calories after you reheat it..... i know it sounds weird though...
