The thing about whole grain that makes it nutrient-rich is that it's "whole".
If there was a part of it that had all the nutrients, then they would separate it
and sell us that part. They've been separating it and selling us only a part of
the grain for a hundred years. Do you think they're intentionally discarding the
nutrient-rich part and selling us the junk part ? There would be no reason to do
that, because if the other part had all the nutrients in it, then they could just
switch the parts and double the price. The grain has one nutrient in this part,
another nutrient in that part, and a different nutrient in another part. If you
throw anything away, you throw away something that would be good for you.
That's why the recommendation of the nutritionists is to eat the "whole grain".
It's not to reduce the producers' processing costs. It's to get all the nutrients in
the grain into you.
