Men: Going
for the Grains May Cut Diabetes Risk
(New York, Reuters Health, 8/23/02)
When Teresa T. Fung and colleagues at Simmons College in
Boston studied 43,000 men for about 12 years, the researchers
found that men who ate whole grains were less likely to
develop type 2 diabetes than those who ate refined grains
(typically cookies, cakes, doughnuts and pasta). Scientists
speculate that this protective effect may occur because whole
grains decrease blood levels of glucose and trigger the
secretion of less insulin than processed foods
