Question 1

are whole grains good for you?

Accepted Answer

So they said..: Well, it is a well known thing that whole-grains are better for you, because it is not as vigorously processed. Processed foods strip off the vitamins/fibers and thus not much health benefit left. Whole-grains retain the 'shells" which is the part containing the most vitamins/fibers.
But like anything else, excessive may not be a good thing. Key is balance.
Be sensible!..
Good luck.

Question 3

is ground flaxseed a grain or whole grain.

Accepted Answer

No- not a grain: Ground flaxseed is a seed, not a grain. Whereas 75-90% of the calories found in grains come from carbohydrates, only about 20% of calories in flaxseeds come from carbs- the rest is (healthy) fats and proteins.
Only eat freshly ground flaxseed or it is likely to contain rancid oils.

Refinement: White bread is made from flour which has been milled so the husks are removed and only the core remains.  Whole grain bread is coarsely ground so the husks remain partly with that type of flour .  Some consider that whole grain bread is more healthy and certainly the taste and texture are different.  If these are your concerns, then use whole grain.
