WASHINGTON, D.C.: A new study says that eating cooked, whole grains back in the Pleistocene era helped give us bigger brains. More research shows that whole grains still boost brain power, reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s, and they may lower the likelihood of cancer and diabetes and improve our gut and moods.
Even better, the Whole Grains Council reports that two-thirds of us are actually eating whole grains — those with the bran and germ intact. As for the rest of you, get with the program.
