  1. Whole Grains Improve Insulin Sensitivity

    Whole grains improve insulin sensitivity, according to a study appearing in tomorrow’s American
    Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Insulin sensitivity is a measure of the body’s efficiency in
    clearing sugar from the bloodstream. Individuals with better insulin sensitivity have reduced risk
    of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.

    The Insulin Resistance and Atherosclerosis Study included 978 middle-aged adults with either normal
    or impaired glucose tolerance. Participants whose diets included the most whole-grain foods--dark
    breads (e.g., whole wheat, rye, pumpernickel), bran or granola cereals, and cooked cereals--had
    significantly better innsulin sensitivity, compared to those who tended to skip these foods.

    This effect of whole grains appears to come mostly from their fiber and magnesium. However,
    evidence suggests that the short-chain fatty acids produced as grains are digested also contribute
    to the effect.

    The study is not yet on Medline. Here is the reference:

    Liese AD, Roach AK, Sparks KC, Marquart L, D’Agostino RB Jr., Mayer-Davis EJ. Whole-grain
    intake and insulin sensitivity: the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study. Am J Clin Nutr
    2003;78:965-71.

  2. I wonder if these results could be attributed to the fact that most folks who eat these kinds of
    foods on a regular basis are usually closer to their ideal weight, err to wit, become less insulin
    resistant because of weight loss.

    oh and didn't Jesus eat fish?

  3. Good post - this confirms other studies. "Overweight people who eat
    whole grains rather than refined ones are better equipped to manage
    their blood-sugar concentrations, according to a new study. The
    finding, consistent with previous ones, could help explain the
    observation that diets rich in whole grains guard against type II
    diabetes and heart disease."
