A new study from Harvard University is the first to link high-fiber whole grain foods to a significant reduction in weight gain. The study, which will appear in the upcoming November issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, tracked the whole grain eating habits of 75-thousand women nurses for a 12-year period.   Nutrition professor Doctor Len Marquart of the University of Minnesota: 

�The absence of whole grain foods in the diet is a compelling indicator for those who�ll become obese later in life.  This study indicates, for those women who consistently consumed whole grain, they had a lower body weight.�

Study participants specifically ate whole grain breakfast cereals, such as Cheerios, Wheaties and Total, breads, brown rice and other grains.  Supporting research shows that women who frequently eat cereal weigh an average of nine pounds less than those who don�t.
