Dave’s Raves: Grains
by David Grotto, RD, LDN
Eating whole grains helps lower your risk of obesity, diabetes, a variety of cancers, and digestive disorders, so enjoy them! The following items listed are all made with whole grains—that means they contain the bran, germ, and the endosperm. How do you know if a food product contains whole grains? Look for the word “whole” in the first ingredient.
