TL;DR
Consumption of whole-grain foods by U.S. adults falls well below the recommended level, and a large proportion of the population could benefit from eating more whole grain, and efforts are needed to encourage consumption.

A clear inverse association between whole-grain intake and risk of IHD death existed and a causal association is plausible because whole- grain foods contain many phytochemicals, including fiber and antioxidants, that may reduce chronic disease risk.

The data strongly suggest that the frequent consumption of nuts may protect against risk of CHD events, and the favorable fatty acid profile of many nuts is one possible explanation for such an effect.

The case-control evidence is supportive of the hypothesis that whole-grain intake protects against various cancers and dose-response associations were stronger in studies using food-frequency questionnaires than in more quantitative questionnaires.

Dietary guidance recommends consumption of whole grains to reduce the risk of chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular disease, and advice to consume additional whole grains is justifiable.

39 Citations1994Fergus M. Clydesdale
It is critical to design not only appealing formulated foods, but to also ensure adequate consumption of whole foods in order to obtain those compounds the authors know to be linked to good health, as well as those yet-unknown compounds or interactions in food that are also linked toGood health.

32 Citations1994Susan Welsh, Anne Shaw +1 more

Critical Reviews in Food Science and NutritionEpidemiological evidence for the impact of whole grains on health
30 Citations1994Joanne Slavin
Despite dietary recommendations to increase intake of whole grains, little epidemiological evidence is available to support the physiological importance of whole-grain intake and the few epidemiological studies that have evaluated a role for whole grains suggest that they have an important role in disease prevention and deserve more study.

The quantitative recommendation to eat at least three servings of whole-grain foods daily must be integrated into national nutrition documents, such as Healthy People 2000, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Food Guide Pyramid, Nutrition Recommendations for Canadians, and Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating, if the authors are to be truly successful in communicating the need to increase whole- grain consumption.
