Whole Grains a Whole Lot Better
We try to incorporate whole grains into the family diet, often mixing them with more processed grains (like pancakes with whole wheat flour and some white flour). I know that the fiber, vitamins and minerals in whole grains are good for us, and that the processing of grains removes these natural elements from the food. It’s nice to see these practices affirmed.
Research findings newly published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition conclude that diets high in whole grains reduce the incidences and mortality risks of diabetes and coronary heart disease. Those conducting the study analyzed diet records and analyses of blood samples available from healthy middle-aged adults (468 men and 473 women) who were enrolled in the long-term health professionals and nurses’ health studies of the Harvard School of Public Health.
So, it looks like it’s whole grains to be hyvin.
