Bran is the nutrient in whole grains that is NOT in vegetables

A diet rich in whole grains lowers a man's risk of developing heart
disease, according to a new study.
http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/80/6/1492

Men who ate the most whole grains such as oatmeal, brown rice and
some breakfast cereals had an 18 percent lower risk of heart disease
than men with the lowest consumption. Those who added the most bran
to their diet were 30 percent less likely to develop heart disease
than their peers who ate no added bran.

The full text of this study which is available online for free shows
that whole grains are good for you. Bran is the name for one type of
undigestible non-soluble fiber.

John Gohde,
Achieving good Nutrition is an Art, NOT a Science!

The nutrition of eating a healthy diet is a biological factor of the
mind-body connection. Weighing in at 17 web pages, The Nutrition of a
Healthy Diet ( http://naturalhealthperspective.com/food/ ) is now with
more documentation and sharper terminology than ever before.

It's an art-science. Avoid dichotomous
either-or thinking to arrive at the truth.
It's art and science, science and art.
