Vibrant Life, July-August, 2002

An important battle in the war against disease may be whole-grain wheat.

While it has long been believed that wheat's fiber content was a key to preventing cancer, new research shows that wheat contains powerful antioxidants that strongly contribute to the prevention of colon cancer, and possibly diabetes and heart disease.

These antioxidants are found in wheat's orthophenols. And these orthophenols do survive the baking process.
