Yin and Yang about Whole Grain

The lastest food buzz is about whole grain. Why eat whole grain you ask? It's a fiber thing. Fiber makes you poo more and if the poo is flowing out at a faster rate due to more fiber in your diet, supposedly you'll absorb less calories which could turn into fat and as a result, you'll weigh less.

An added benefit to eating more fiber, too, is you'll feel fuller longer and that should lessen your hunger pains.

What happens if you don't eat fiber? Constipation, hemeroids, colon cancer, diverticulitis, etc.

So eat your Cherios.
