How Much Whole Grain Do We Actually Need?
Researchers found heart and metabolic benefits begin at about 90 grams of whole grains a day, with larger gains at four to six servings.
- On Tuesday, a new analysis published in the European Heart Journal suggested heart health benefits begin at about 90 grams of whole grains daily, or roughly three servings.
- Unlike refined grains, which are processed to remove fiber and nutrients, whole grains include all natural parts. Extensive research over two decades links whole grain diets to lower heart disease, high blood pressure, and cholesterol risks.
- Three to six servings of whole grains daily improved health markers including blood pressure, cholesterol, body weight, and waist circumference in as little as two weeks, researchers found.
- Alice Lichtenstein, a professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, warned that simply adding whole grains cannot offset an overall unhealthy diet.
- Lichtenstein advised replacing pantry items as they run out with whole grain versions, though she warned that products labeled "multigrain" may still be predominantly refined flour.
