Moss Greene has written an article on the benefits of Whole Grains.  In this article, she has quoted some statistics from Harvard Medical School such as:

1.     Those who ate the least amount of whole grains had 60% higher incidence of type 2 diabetes than those who ate the most whole grains.

2.     Physically active obese men who ate the most whole grains developed 52% less diabetes, even though they were extremely overweight.

3.     And two other research studies of women and whole grains confirmed these Harvard Medical School findings – healthy whole grains provide protection against diabetes and other degenerative diseases!

Once contracted diabetes, greatly increase the risk of:

·         Blindness,

·         Kidney failure,

·         Limb amputation,
