New Meta-Analysis Suggests 4 to 6 Daily Servings of Whole Grains Optimize Heart Health

While current US guidelines recommend two to four servings, this new evidence suggests higher intakes may offer superior benefits for blood pressure and cholesterol, though long-term effects remain under investigation.
