Hälsofördelar med fullkorn

The symposium “Putting the Whole Grain Puzzle Together: Health Benefits Associated with Whole Grains” sponsored by the ASN brought together researchers to review the evidence regarding the health benefits associated with whole grains. Current scientific evidence indicates that whole grains play an important role in lowering the risk of chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and also contribute to body weight management and gastrointestinal health. The essential macro- and micronutrients, along with the phytonutrients present in whole grains, synergistically contribute to their beneficial effects. Current evidence lends credence to the recommendations to incorporate whole grain foods into a healthy diet and lifestyle program. The symposium also highlighted the need for further research to examine the role of whole grain foods in disease prevention and management to gain a better understanding of their mechanisms of action.

Existing evidence indicates that whole grains have a beneficial
health effect; much of the evidence comes from observational
studies that have demonstrated an association between

whole grain intake and disease risk reduction. Evidence from
intervention studies is variable. There is consistent epidemiological
evidence that whole grain foods substantially lower the
risk of chronic diseases such as CHD, diabetes, and cancer and
also play a role in body weight management and digestive
health.

Det är det fetstilta som är det mest intressanta.

Du syftar på det kausala sambandet?

Du syftar på det kausala sambandet?

Precis. Det är intressant att de få kliniska prövningarna som faktiskt gjorts inte ger lika entydigt positiva resultat. Jag har sett en som påverkade blodtrycket positivt. Där fick kontrollgruppen iofs vitt bröd så det kunde man ju ana på förhand.

Vad jag tycker är mest intressant är diskussionen om prebiotika och andra effekter av vissa fibrer för att "dra med sig" carcinogena metaboliter. Där tror jag fullkornsprodukter kan visa sig effektivt. Men jag tror inte på random müsli eller bröd i ICA-hyllan, det bör nog helst vara fermenterade produkter.
