SPS commentary:
Another study (n=18,629) in BMJ reported that higher consumption of total whole grains and several commonly eaten whole grain foods was significantly linked to lower risk of type 2 diabetes, with 29% lower rate in those in highest category for consumption compared with those in the lowest category.
