Men who eat whole-grain cereal every day are nearly 30 per cent less likely to suffer heart failure than those who do not, a new study has shown.
The findings add to existing evidence that whole-grain foods are healthy. But not all cereals contain whole grain, and the new study shows that those cereals that lack it do not have the same health benefits.
Luc Djoussé and Michael Graziano, of Harvard Medical School, studied a group of more than 21,000 doctors taking part in the Physicians’ Health Study, a long-running trial. Their results, published in Archives of Internal Medicine, are in line with other trials.

Why isn't there a warning or at least an indicator of how healthy a breakfast cereal is printed on the cereal package? If not eating whole grain cereals is so bad and can cause such harm surely it would make sense to point the un-enlightened consumer in the right direction when he/she goes to the supermarket.
They do it on cigarettes so why not add a health warning/advice to all the bad/less healthy food that the manufacturuers are allowed to produce?
