06 Dec 2022 --- The consumption of whole grain foods remains low globally, despite widespread promotion of health benefits and dietary recommendations. An Australian-based study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior has found overall confusion about whole grain foods and skepticism due to a lack of transparency and guidance on food labels. “Without clear regulation and labeling standards, the benefits of educating consumers on how to increase whole grain intake may be lost,” says lead author Katrina Kissock, accredited practicing dietitian and researcher at the school of medical, indigenous and health sciences, University of Wollongong, Australia.
