Wednesday, July 13, 2022

WASHINGTON, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A commentary just published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings presents data showing no evidence linking refined grain consumption with risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D).  Written by Glenn Gaesser, Ph.D., professor in the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University, the commentary includes data from all published observational cohort studies that looked at the associations between refined grain intake and risk of T2D. Based on findings from 11 different populations of adults, totaling nearly 400,000 men and women, results revealed no relation between consumption of refined grains and risk of T2D.

Key Points: 
  • Based on findings from 11 different populations of adults, totaling nearly 400,000 men and women, results revealed no relation between consumption of refined grains and risk of T2D.
  • These findings refute the commonly held belief that refined and non-whole grains can directly lead to T2D when consumed.
  • Eating refined staple grain foods, such as breads, cereals, and pasta were not associated with T2D risk, and total grain intake was consistently associated with lower risk of T2D.
  • "While these findings may seem surprising after years of maligning grains, in particular refined grains, there is actually a simple explanation," said Dr. Gaesser.
