With the growing popularity of keto, paleo, gluten-free and low carbohydrate diets, this session will explore the science behind the value of carbohydrates, especially the right balance of whole and refined grain foods, in the diet as detailed in Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Common misperceptions about carbohydrates and enriched and fortified grain-based staple foods in terms of weight control and other health endpoints will be discussed. This presentation will also detail data showing the benefits of dietary patterns with the right balance of whole and refined grains foods. Strategies to help your clients address the whole grain and fiber gap and create healthful, balanced dietary patterns will be suggested. 

Learning Objectives

After attending this session, nutrition professionals should be able to:
 

  1. Describe current grain intake in the U.S. population, and explain the benefits of obtaining the right balance and amount of whole and refined grain foods in a balanced diet.
  2. List the benefits of whole grain consumption on a variety of chronic disease endpoints.
  3. Apply the science to address common questions about grains to help clients fill the gap in whole grain consumption to meet the Dietary Guideline recommendations of 'making half your grains whole'.
