There is now considerable evidence that a diet rich in whole wheat and other whole grains plays an important role in lowering a person’s risk of cancer. The major cancer fighting ingredient of whole wheat is thought to be dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is believed to play an important role in the prevention of cancer, and whole wheat breads and other products are rich sources of this dietary fiber.
In addition, whole wheat and other whole grains are thought to reduce levels of serum insulin. High levels of serum insulin have been associated with higher risk of cancers of the breast and colon, so lowering these levels may have an effect in the prevention of cancer.
