Q. What exactly is a whole grain?

A. A whole grain is any cereal grass that contains all three of its original edible parts – the fiber-and-nutrient-rich outer bran, the germ (which is the seed of a new plant), and the starchy endosperm.

Q. Why are whole grains good for me?

A. Because they contain three to five times as much of a range of key nutrients that are lost when grains are refined, by removing the bran and germ.

Q. What does that mean for my health?

A. Repeated studies show that people who eat more whole grains lower their risk for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and a number of other chronic diseases. Other studies indicate that teens who eat more whole grains get less acne, and kids cut their risk for asthma. Also, because whole grains help you feel full longer, those who eat them tend to control their weight more successfully.
