The European Commission (updated 2023) [1] have stated that "consumption of whole grains is associated with a reduction in the risk of developing non-communicable diseases", they list a table of this evidence [2]. The evidence they list includes reports from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in 2015.
This article (now deleted) from the European Food Information Council published in 2009 seems to be incorrectly used on the Wikipedia article [4]. It is sourced to content which is not found on the article. Here is a modern link from the European Food Information Council on whole grains (updated 2015) [5]. Wikipedia does not have an article on European Food Information Council it is probably worth creating. In regard to Health Canada I have cited their 2012 assessment [6] hopefully there are no objections to citing this. Psychologist Guy (talk) 12:59, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
