( per cent reduction in the risk of hear...)Whole Grain Breakfasts Linked to Lower Heart Failure Risk,Health

per cent reduction in the risk of heart failure, while eating two to six servings per week was associated with a 22 per cent risk reduction. Eating only one serving per week reduced the risk of heart failure by 14 per cent, they said.

Heart failure arises when the heart muscle becomes so weak that it can no longer pump blood around the body, and currently afflicts about 14 million people in Europe. This is forecast to increase to 30 million by 2020.

"The Physicians' Health Study shows that even in a population with overall healthy behaviour, it is possible to see less heart failure in those who eat a wholegrain cereal breakfast," said Djoussé.

The study does have several limitations, including relying on self-reporting of food intake which is reliant on the recall of the subjects. In this instance the researchers re-assessed cereal consumption at regular intervals to control for potential changes in cereal consumption.

Further study is required to confirm these findings, with mechanistic studies needed to elucidate exactly how the grains may offer protection against heart failure.
