Published October 6, 2009 | By Lisa Nelson, RD

Whole grain nutrition is linked to numerous benefits, such as decreased heart disease risk, improved digestive health, and reduction in cancer. Retail sales hit $5 billion in 2008 and anticipated to reach $6 billion by 2013.

Fortunately, this appears to be a new trend that is not a short term “fad”!
