A review of various types of whole grains, the bioactives present
within them, and their health-promoting effects As rates of obesity
and other chronic conditions continue to rise, so too does the need
for clear and accurate information on the connections between diet
and disease, particularly regarding the cereal grains that dominate
the Western diet. In this volume, editors Jodee Johnson and Taylor
Wallace assemble a panel of leading experts to address this issue.
The result is a comprehensive examination of the cereal and
pseudo-cereal grains and their most important bioactive compounds.
Not only does this volume offer summaries of existing research, it
also places these findings within the larger context of health
promotion and disease prevention. This includes frank discussions
on the limitations of existing studies, as well as current gaps in
research for those who want to offer evidence-based recommendations
to their patients. Topics addressed include: Methodical analyses of
domesticated grain species, their horticultural history,
nutritional composition, and known effects on health Beneficial
properties of certain bioactive compounds found in particular grain
species How bioactive compounds work within an individual's overall
diet to increase health and prevent disease Academic and industry
researchers, as well as medical practitioners and public health
professionals, will appreciate Whole Grains and their Bioactives,
not only as an engaging overview of current research, but also as
an illuminating contribution to the often-murky debate surrounding
health and the human diet.
