Dr. Greger says that the drug industry says using a blood pressure lowering med results in a 15% lower risk of heart attack and a 25% lower risk of a stroke. Eating just 3 portions of whole grains per day gets the SAME results! Whole grains over white bread and rice also lowers the risk of diabetes where the white type results in a higher risk of diabetes. How much more simple can it be? Just eat whole grain versions of your food but don’t be fooled by sugary breakfast cereals that say whole grains.
