Health benefits of finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) polyphenols and dietary fiber: a review (2014, background): “regular consumption of whole grain cereals and their products can protect against the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes, gastrointestinal cancers and a range of other disorders (McKeown 2002).”
A critical review of predefined diet quality scores (2007, background): “There are health benefits of whole grains in contrast to refined grains (Fung et al. 2002; McKeown et al. 2002; Liu, 2003; Jensen et al. 2004).”
Carbohydrate nutrition, insulin resistance, and the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the Framingham Offspring Cohort. (2004, background): “In the Framingham Offspring Cohort, we found that whole-grain intake was favorably associated with several metabolic risk factors of this syndrome, including central obesity, insulin sensitivity, and dyslipidemia (18).”
