The Whole Story - Fiber, Whole Grains, & Health

From Today's Dietitian

"The nature of whole grains, with their inherent fibrous structure, has proven to have many health benefits. From lowering lipid levels to staving off diabetes and cancer to controlling blood pressure and helping with weight maintenance, whole grains can act as medicine in the body. The American Heart Association sees the power of whole grains in maintaining a healthy heart and recommends that individuals consume at least six servings per day of whole grain products such as oatmeal, cereal, bread, and brown rice."

Wonderful article covering many of the benefits of whole grains in your diet.
