The European Commission (updated 2023) [1] have stated that "consumption of whole grains is associated with a reduction in the risk of developing non-communicable diseases", they list a table of this evidence [2]. The evidence they list includes reports from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in 2015.
I am not sure how this fits in with what the European Food Safety Authority have said about whole grains in their report in 2010 [3] as this is now outdated. I guess we will have to wait until they publish an update. Psychologist Guy (talk) 12:41, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article (now deleted) from the European Food Information Council published in 2009 seems to be incorrectly used on the Wikipedia article [4]. It is sourced to content which is not found on the article. Here is a modern link from the European Food Information Council on whole grains (updated 2015) [5]. Wikipedia does not have an article on European Food Information Council it is probably worth creating. In regard to Health Canada I have cited their 2012 assessment [6] hopefully there are no objections to citing this. Psychologist Guy (talk) 12:59, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
