Whole Grains Fight Artery Hardening and Thickness

by laurel on June 27, 2007

ScientificAmerican.com reports that a five-year Insulin Resistance Athersclerosis Study showed that people whose diets contain the most whole grains “had the thinnest carotid artery walls and showed the slowest progression in artery wall thickness.”  The findings suggest that whole grain consumption is a “wholesome and palatable opportunity” to reduce heart disease and atherosclerosis risk.

Another study published by Italy’s National Research Council in 2009 found that eating whole grains instead of refined grains reduced total cholesterol by 4.3% and LDL (bad) cholesterol by 4.9% in healthy middle-aged adults.
