It's rice bran, Django. Not rice brand. And oil can be pressure-squeezed from bran. If you rub some bran between your hands you will see the hands looking a bit oily.

Coulda used coconut oil also.

From Wikipedia (on Rice Bran Oil)  seems a good choice.

Cholesterol

Literature review shows rice bran oil and its active constituents improve blood cholesterol by reducing total plasma cholesterol and triglycerides, and increasing the proportion of HDL cholesterol.^[4] Results of an animal study^[5] indicated a 42% decrease in total cholesterol with a 62% drop in LDL cholesterol, when researchers supplemented test subjects' diets with fractionated vitamin E obtained from rice bran oil.

Menopause

One small-scale study of γ-oryzanol, a mixture of chemicals found in rice bran oil, found that 90% of the women had some form of relief from hot flashes after taking a supplement of the purified concentrate for four to six weeks.^[6]

Antioxidant stability

The oryzanol content of the pan heated rice bran oil samples remains approximately the same even when heated at 180˚C for 8 hours, while a decrease in oryzanol content was reported in the case of microwave heating at the same conditions.^[7]

Omega fatty acids and inflammation

Rice bran oil has about 2% omega 3 fatty acids in it (more than olive oil), and 33% omega 6 fatty acids. Its omega 6-to-omega 3 ratio is much higher than olive oil. A high omega 6-to-omega 3 ratio can be a factor in increasing inflammation.

Rice bran oil has been tested to reduce cholesterol levels.

Calcium Absorption

Rice bran might help lower cholesterol because the oil it contains has substances that might decrease cholesterol absorption and increase cholesterol elimination. One of the substances in rice bran might decrease calcium absorption; this might help reduce the formation of certain types of kidney stones.^[8]

There were discussions early in the Jagan presidency on setting up a bran oil factory in Guyana. What happened?

I guess the discussion papers is tucked away some where in Freedom House.Any way ventures of this kind should be done by the rice millers,maybe they are making more money selling bran for stock feed.
