From high blood pressure to skyrocketing cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease for all Australians

Importance of whole grains in cardiovascular health

According to the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) diets high in plant foods, such as whole grains, are associated with a lower occurrence of coronary heart disease. Regular servings of whole grain have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 40% – more than double that of a cholesterol lowering margarine.
