Cereals are among the first foods introduced during dietary diversification. Interest in them has increased, particularly wholegrain cereals, because of their many nutritional benefits and undisputed health benefits.The French National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety recommends a dietary fibre intake equivalent to 30g of fibre/day, which cannot be obtained without an adequate intake of wholegrain cereals or wholegrain products. Health benefits are often associated with high levels of bioactive compounds: dietary fibre (soluble and insoluble), vitamins, minerals and phytochemical compounds such as phenolic compounds, sterols, tocols, lignans, alkylresorcinols and polyphenols. The purpose of this book is to synthesize knowledge on the health effects of whole grain consumption, in the light of scientific studies, and their potential contributions to the prevention of several chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease (CVD).
