Book Synopsis
WHOLE GRAINS AND HEALTH

The updated guide to whole grains and their integral role in nutritional health

In an increasingly health-conscious society, the potential benefits of whole grain products are of paramount importance to manufacturers, dieticians, and consumers alike. Whole Grains and Health covers all aspects of this crucial topic, presenting a data-driven study of whole grains' functional components, associated biomarkers and overall impact upon human health. Now in its second edition, the text has been revised and expanded to include six new chapters and groundbreaking new data. This essential guide features:

  • Summaries of large research projects on the health effects of whole grain in Europe and the US
  • New data on the associations between whole grain consumption and risk of developing chronic diseases
  • Discussions of metabolomics and their use in addressing health effects and finding new biomarkers of both dietary exposure and h
