据台湾“中央社”1月5日报道，美国哈佛大学一项最新研究指出，每天食用燕麦粥、糙米或玉米等富含纤维的食品，有助保护心脏，降低死亡率。
英国媒体报道，哈佛大学对10万名民众进行超过14年的追踪调查，调查人员研究他们的饮食内容及健康状况，1984年开始进行研究时，受访者健康状况都很良好，2010年再进行调查时，已有2.6万人死亡。
研究人员发现，每天食用约28公克的全麦，约等同于1小碗的燕麦粥，整体死亡率可降低5%，心脏病死亡率更可减少9%。
哈佛大学公共卫生学院负责这项研究的Hongyu Wu指出，研究结果再证实，目前建议的全麦饮食是正确的方向，同时多食用全麦食品，有助延年益寿。
即使将不同的年龄，是否抽烟，身体质量指数（BMI）及体能活动等因素都考虑在内，研究的结果仍是一样，证实全麦食品对身体健康非常有帮助。
