Food Choices and Coronary Heart Disease: A Population Based Cohort Study of Rural Swedish Men with 12 Years of Follow-up. Sara Holmberg, Anders Thelin and Eva-Lena Stiernström. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2009, 6(10), 2626-2638; doi:10.3390/ijerph6102626 - published online 12 October 2009 Coronary heart disease is associated with diet. Nutritional recommendations are frequently provided, but few long term studies on the effect of food choices on heart disease are available. We followed coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality in a cohort of rural men (N = 1,752) participating in a prospective observational study. Dietary choices were assessed at baseline with a 15-item food questionnaire. 138 men were hospitalized or deceased owing to coronary heart disease during the 12 year follow-up. Daily intake of fruit and vegetables was associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease when combined with a high dairy fat consumption (odds ratio 0.39, 95% CI 0.21-0.73), but not when combined with a low dairy fat consumption (odds ratio 1.70, 95% CI 0.97-2.98). Choosing wholemeal bread or eating fish at least twice a week showed no association with the outcome.

Manufacturers do not like whole grain products because they go bad quickly and attract pests. These pests seem to be "highly educated" on white flour because knowing probably that it is not good, they stay away from it. We should follow their example. Instead, we seemed to be hooked on the white "enriched" flours that not only have been stripped of their omega 3 fats, most of their vitamins and minerals and fiber, but they are also bleached and treated with different chemicals.

The No-Grain diet is based on the idea that grains and sugars are "enemy number one to losing weight and living longer." Instead, The No-Grain diet emphasizes organic vegetables and quality protein.

In other words, they're energy-dense but nutrient-sparse. But it's worth pointing out that there's a difference between whole grains and refined grains.
