It’s a question that consumers have been asking with increasing urgency since 2005, when the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines started recommending that people eat three or more servings of whole grains a day (or, as the government slogan put it, “Make half your grains whole”). The USDA action came in response to a growing body of research showing that people who eat the most whole grains have a 20 to 40 percent reduced risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes, not to mention better colon health....

In a 43-page memorandum filed on Friday, the Aquaman star’s attorneys have argued that there were a number of issues with the June 1 ruling, including excessive damages awarded to Depp and poor legal reasoning. One of the more unusual factors raised in the Virginia court filing by Heard’s lead attorney Elaine Bredehoft is an allegation that one juror is actually 25 years younger than he had initially claimed to be....

There are many different types of heart disease, but common forms include coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmia. The most common form of heart disease is coronary artery disease, a narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries, which is the major reason people have heart attacks.

Brisbane’s coach argued his side’s schedule “caught up” with them in South Korea on Tuesday night as Mislav Orsic and Kim In-sung both scored braces for Ulsan in a thumping win in Group E. The game against Ulsan was Roar’s ninth in 32 days in all competitions, with Aloisi’s team having travelled to Shanghai, Melbourne, Perth and Ulsan during that period, and the A-League club were without four defenders due to injury for the ACL fixture....

Advocates of engagement, from George Bush to Bill Clinton, argue that maintaining good relations with the fastest-growing economy in the world–an economy that will be one of the world’s top three within a few years–is a necessity, not a luxury. By dealing with China the United States can encourage it to play by civilized international rules (i.e., stop selling weapons to rogue regimes) and moderate its regional ambitions. By increasingly integrating it into the world economy, some engagers argue, China will over time become a more liberal state....

Get 6/1 odds on Leicester to beat Arsenal The 26-year-old joins the Premier League club from Al Ahly for the 2017-18 campaign with the option to make the move permanent. The centre-back has already travelled to Hong Kong to link up with the squad for pre-season duties in the Premier League Asia Trophy. “We’re pleased he’s here, he’s a good addition,” West Brom boss Tony Pulis told the club’s website....

That is the message of a successful advertising campaign. Patek Philippe is easily selling all the watches it allocates to the American market, where, says a Texas jewelry-store owner, people ““are coming in and asking for the watch in the ad.’’ This is worth pondering because advertising generally works not when it changes society’s mind but rather when it conforms to society’s thinking. The ads appear in magazines read by people who, to say no more, know where their next meal is coming from–magazines like Forbes, Town & Country, Architectural Digest and NEWSWEEK INTERNATIONAL....

The second-year quarterback has the Bengals playing in their first Super Bowl since the 1988 season, with a chance to give Cincinnati its first title in franchise history. A win in Super Bowl 56 over the Rams would also make Burrow one of the most accomplished players in college football and NFL history — in just his second season in the league. If Burrow is able to lead the Bengals to the NFL’s ultimate prize, he would achieve a tremendous quarterback triple crown: national champion, Heisman Trophy and Super Bowl champion....

Henrik Stenson was in line to serve as captain for Team Europe at the 2023 Ryder Cup, but now, that’s not coming to pass. On Wednesday, Ryder Cup Europe released a statement saying the Swedish golfer would not be taking the helm for next year’s event in Rome. The statement comes after months of rumors that Stenson would make the jump over to LIV Golf. ESPN reports that Luke Donald, Paul Lawrie, Thomas Bjorn and Robert Karlsson are in the running to replace Stenson as Europe’s captain....

With Drew Brees’ announcement this week of his 2020 return, it appears Hill is likely to play the same multi-faceted role in New Orleans for at least one more season — except as the No. 2 quarterback with a big raise in pay. Unlike Teddy Bridgewater, who will be an unrestricted free agent in March, Hill will be tendered as a restricted free agent by the Saints with three seasons completed....

Bush left Austin last Saturday on a plane he christened Great Expectations. As the MD-80 rumbled down the runway, he came on the intercom. “Please stow your expectations securely in the overhead bin,” he said. “They could fall and hurt someone.” But two hours later in Iowa, it was clear that the Bushies had left nothing to chance. Advance work is in their blood. Bush was greeted in an echoing hangar at the Cedar Rapids airport by hundreds of well-wishers, and as he strode to the rope line, they gave out a thunderous cheer on cue....

Hitting .271/.323/.379 with nine home runs — a career low for a full season — Butler graded out as below replacement level as a designated hitter. The Royals declined his $12.5 million option, but on Wednesday, the man known as Country Breakfast headed west for a three-year, $30 million pact with the A’s. That is seemingly big money for a position where Oakland has thrived over the years with unheralded players and reclamation projects....

Back in June, the shelf life of the vaccine was extended to 4.5 months. As ongoing stability assessment studies have demonstrated, the vaccine remains potent for six months. Many have questions about how a vaccine’s expiration date can be extended and are expressing worry about the doses’ safety and effectiveness. However, the FDA authorization of the extension indicates that the doses’ quality remains the same. The Process of Determining a Vaccine’s Expiration “Vaccine production occurs under strict oversight by regulators—the FDA—and quality assurance programs,” Naor Bar-Zeev, PhD, deputy director of the International Vaccine Access Center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, tells Verywell....

Napier, who hosts Home Town alongside her husband, Ben Napier, explained her take on making a difference in a screenshot of direct messages. a woman named Danielle Smalley reached out to Napier to ask why she hadn’t spoken about the movement, which gained speed after the death of George Floyd. In particular, Smalley pointed to a photo of Mr. Rogers that Napier posted in the heat of American unrest....

For a century, scientists have been trying to figure out which factors play the most important role in the development of the human personality. Is it nature or nurture, heredity or environment? The best information so far has come from the study of identical twins reared apart. Like the embryo clones of the future, their genes are identical because they come from the same egg and sperm. The fertilized egg splits in half shortly after conception, forming two identical embryos....

According to MyFoxBoston.com, the unnamed witness who was wounded in the incident, said in reference to Hernandez: "When I see his face, I just recognize his face. Compare his face that night to his face now. It's that face that I remember." The former Patriots tight end is charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd in last June. The 2012 shooting, which took place in Boston’s theater district, is currently under investigation by police....
