Scientific
research continues to undergird the value of GNLD's Tre-en-en oils which contain
the lipids from grains and legumes. The following quote is taken from Alan
Gaby's massive volume Nutritional Medicine, "Whole wheat and some other whole
grains (but not their refined counterparts) also contain alkylresorcinols, a
class of phenolic lipids that can be incorporated into cell membranes. In rats,
administration of alkyresorcinols increased tissue concentrations of
gamma-tocopherol, a naturally occurring form of vitamin E which appears to have
cardioprotective effects. In observational studies, consumption of whole grains
(as compared to refined grains) has been associated with reduced risk of
cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes, and increased longevity. For these
reasons, whole grains are strongly preferable to refined grains."
