In the same study, examination of the risks of 10 major causes of death by categories of whole-grain and refined grain intake (adjusted for 23 variables) showed that for women in the highest category of whole grain foods intake, the risk of CHD was reduced by 18% compared to those in the lowest category (10).
Cereal foods, refined or whole grain, may protect against heart disease by acting as carriers of folic acid fortification.  A high plasma (total) homocysteine level appears to be an independent risk factor for CHD, stroke, and venous thrombosis (30).

Cereal grains are produced in many areas of Alaska.  The majority of the cereals however, are produced in two regions: the Matanuska-Susitna Valley of South Central Alaska (2) (61N 149W) and the Tanana Valley of Interior Alaska (1) (63N 145W).
Cereal grain producers employ several IPM practices in combating the various local weeds, diseases, insects and “other” pests.  Producers participate in University and Department of Environmental Conservation training programs on pesticide handling, application, storage and disposal.
Cereal grain production is a very important component of the Alaskan Agricultural Industry.  Cereal feed grains are utilized by the Alaskan dairy industry, swine producers, beef producers, sheep and goat owners, and the recreational livestock owners as well as those families raising limited numbers of animals for their own consumption (subsistence).

 Puffed cereal cakes - Patent 5871793
In this context, the expression "prepuffed cereal grains" means cereal grains, such as rice grains, wheat grains or popcorn grains, that have been puffed by micronizing, gun-puffing, extrusion or other puffing methods conventionally known in the art.
The binding of the puffed cereal grains to form the puffed cereal cake in the process according to the this aspect of the invention is assisted by the additional step of applying a coating of a suitable binder material in the form of an edible heat-plasticizable material to the prepuffed cereal grains prior to compression.
Preferably, the binder coating is applied to the prepuffed cereal grains in an amount of from 0.1 to 100% by weight, more preferably 5 to 50% by weight, and most preferably 10 to 30% by weight based on the dry weight of the prepuffed cereal grains.

 Evolutionary Discordance of Grains/Legumes in the Human Diet
Because the cell walls of cereal grains are almost completely resistant to the mechanical and chemical action of the human GI tract, cereal grains have been shown to pass through the entire GI tract and appear intact in the feces [Stephen 1994].
The main cereal grains that humans now eat (wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, oats, millet, and sorghum) are quite different from their wild, ancestral counterparts from which all were derived in the past 10,000 years.
Further, the 8 cereal grains now commonly eaten are endemic to very narrow geographic locations and consequently by their geographic isolation would have been unavailable to all but a selected few populations of hominids.

 ICGFI DOCUMENT 3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Electron radiation, having less penetrability, requires that the grain stream have a depth commensurate with the electron beam penetration, as determined by the electron energy employed, the upper limit for which is 10 MeV.
In the case of radiation disinfestation of cereal grains, an absorbed dose of 0.5 kGy produces sterility and death within a few weeks, and generally this is considered to be an adequate treatment, especially, since this absorbed dose also reduces the insect's ability to feed.
Cereal grains irradiated as bulk products cannot be labelled in the ordinary meaning of the term.

 Degradation of Endosperm mRNAs During Dry Afterripening of Cereal Grains
Total RNA from wild oat (pooled samples and individual grains) and cultivated oat grains was isolated as described and total RNA from barley grains was prepared as described by Hughes and Galau.
RNA was prepared from dormant wild oat grains imbibed in distilled water at 16°C in the dark for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days.
Presence of these transcripts in dormant grains, their absence in nondormant grains, their stability during dormant grain imbibition, and the rate of loss during afterripening could indicate that these mRNAs (or more likely their protein products) are somehow involved in dormancy maintenance or germination suppression.
