Whole grain consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease:
This meta-analysis examined evidence on whole grain intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Seven prospective cohort studies with measures of dietary whole grains and cardiovascular outcomes were identified. Researchers found that greater whole grain intake (average 2.5 servings per day vs. 0.2 servings per day) was associated with a 21% lower risk of CVD events. The findings were similar for both men and women and CVD events including heart disease, stroke, and fatal CVD events. The authors’ concluded that evidence from prospective cohort studies showed that as dietary whole grains consumption increases events associated with cardiovascular disease decrease. (45)
