So what exactly is the difference apart from getting a little more fiber in your diet. Do they think fiber is going to stem the obesity epidemic ??

When I was on low-fat, all my grains were whole grains. I had a cupboard full of whole grain cereal, whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, etc. It made no difference in my weight or cholesterol levels. I think the benefits of whole grains are way exagerated.
