Whole Grain Nutrition – Have you increased your intake?

Whole grain nutrition is linked to numerous benefits, such as decreased heart disease risk, improved digestive health, and reduction in cancer. Retail sales hit $5 billion in 2008 and anticipated to reach $6 billion by 2013.

Fortunately, this appears to be a new trend that is not a short term “fad”!
