Sarah Berry says wholegrain swaps could cut disease risks by 10%

What was said

""If we were to change our staples of white rice, white pasta, and white bread, we would change from our average intake of whole grains being around, say, 16 grams a day. We could get it up to 75 grams a day. And at that level, you reduce your risk of all cause mortality, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease by around 10%.""

Sarah Berry says new research suggests swapping white bread, rice and pasta for wholegrain versions could raise average wholegrain intake from about 16g a day to around 75g. She says that intake level is linked to roughly a 10% lower risk of all-cause mortality, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, though the study is not identified in the clip.
