Does daily whole grain intake reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in adults?

Diets high in whole grains do not significantly affect lipid levels, blood pressure, or body weight compared with diets low in whole grains over 3 to 4 months (SOR: A, meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [RCTs] and small RCT). The 2019 American Heart Association guideline recommends the DASH diet, which includes whole grains to reduce cholesterol and decrease overall cardiovascular mortality (SOR: C, consensus guideline).
