Just in case you needed one more reason to eat your healthy grains, according to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, individuals "who regularly eat whole grains rather than refined grains pack on less" visceral adipose tissue (VAT), "the type of fat linked to a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes." Investigators conducted "an analysis of dietary surveys and body-fat scans conducted among more than 2,800 men and women between the ages of 32 and 83." According to one of the study's co-authors, "VAT volume was approximately 10 percent lower in adults who reported eating three or more daily servings of whole grains and who limited their intake of refined grains to less than one serving per day."
