ARTICLE
Why Whole Grains Fill You Up
White rice and white bread are easy to digest, which sounds like good news. In fact, food that leaves the stomach quickly also leaves the eater hungry again within an hour.
Whole grains behave differently. Because the outer layer stays on, digestion takes longer and sugar enters the blood slowly. A study in Japan found that office workers who ate brown rice at noon ate about 15 percent less at dinner.
Nutritionists add one warning: whole grains are not a magic cure. A bowl covered in sugar or syrup loses most of its advantage.

AIt contains no sugar at all
BIt makes the eater hungry again soon

DIt is difficult to cook
26Why does digestion take longer with whole grains?
AThe outer layer of the grain is not removed
BThey are always cooked twice
CThey contain much more salt
DTheir effect is contrary to that of brown rice
27What did the study in Japan find?
AWorkers preferred white rice
BWorkers slept much better
CWorkers showed a remarkable rise in energy
DWorkers ate less at dinner
28What warning do nutritionists give?
AWhole grains should be eaten raw
BSugar or syrup cancels much of the benefit
CBrown rice is bad for the stomach
DOnly athletes need whole grains
