Summary

People with heart disease ate a special powder made from whole grains and beans instead of white rice for 16 weeks, and their blood sugar and stress markers got much better.

Proposed Mechanism
Improved insulin sensitivity via slow carbohydrate digestion and fiber-mediated gut signaling
Supported by evidence
Reduction in lipid peroxidation via antioxidant-mediated neutralization of free radicals
Supported by evidence
Lowering of plasma homocysteine via improved insulin sensitivity and folate-independent metabolic pathways
