WHOLE GRAINS LINKED WITH LOWER RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES
In a large study of nearly 200,000 US adults, those eating whole grains most frequently had a 29% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes across the approximately 30-year study period than those rarely or never eating whole grains, even after adjusting for other lifestyle factors. When looking at specific whole grain foods, common foods like whole grain breakfast cereal, oatmeal, whole grain bread, and brown rice were all linked with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The exception was popcorn, which was linked with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes when eaten more than once per day, perhaps due to its association with butter sauces or sugary flavorings.

Buckwheat and Apricot Granola
Get a jumpstart on Whole Grains Month in September! Toasted buckwheat has a nutty, almond-like flavor that you'll love in your bowl of granola. This recipe uses only a small amount of maple syrup for sweetener, so we tossed in some dried apricots for an additional hint of natural sweetness.

The African Heritage Power Plate
The African Heritage Power Plate is based on Oldways’ African Heritage Diet Pyramid and programming and the Physicians Committee’s Power Plate.
This plant-based way of eating is inspired by healthful food traditions from across the African diaspora. This Power Plate relies on four major food groups that were staples in traditional African diets: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans, with the addition of a source of vitamin B12. It is free of animal products, including meat, dairy, and eggs, and it minimizes added salt, sugar, and fats.
