How high is the percentage of whole grains prevent heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whole grain: We don't "prevent" heart disease, we lower the probability of heart disease. Using whole grain rather than processed in one step which helps in lower the probability. If one smokes however, that would outweigh most steps. Establish a healthy diet and exercise program and take care of your risk factors to lower your probability of getting heart disease.
