Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, investigated the health-related data of tens of thousands of people over many years to understand how eating whole grains influences a person’s risk of type 2 diabetes.
Previous studies, they say, looked primarily at the consumption of one type of grain, namely wheat, and suggested that it may have a protective role against diabetes.
The final Test of a long and absorbing summer is upon us. With England already having sewn up the series in Southampton, there is a risk this game could be somewhat of a non-event. But two reasons make that unlikely. Firstly, it will be Alastair Cook’s final Test in an England shirt which should make it a memorable and emotional occasion. And secondly, Virat Kohli is not the sort of captain to simply lay down and die. His Indian team will be up for this game.

HOGAN AT MERION: Ben Hogan was the reigning U.S. Open champion when his car collided with a bus in West Texas in 1949, an accident so horrific that it nearly killed him and doctors feared he would never walk again.
Hogan returned to golf a year later and played the U.S. Open at Merion in 1950. He had to soak his legs for an hour each night just to keep playing, and while he was only two shots behind Dutch Harrison going into the 36-hole final day, there were questions whether they could hold up over two rounds.
With Hogan needing a par on the 72nd hole to get into a playoff, his legs were so weakened that he hit 1-iron into the 18th. A plaque at Merion commemorates the shot Hogan hit that led to par, and the photo of his swing is among the most famous in golf. And he won the playoff. Of his four U.S. Open titles, that one meant the most to Hogan “because it proved I could still win.”
Twelve months ago, Froome’s yellow jersey defence came to a premature halt when he crashed out of the Tour just before the first cobbled section on stage five. The pavé makes a return this year, but the Team Sky leader warned that the entire opening act, as the race sweeps across Belgium and northern France in the first week, is replete with potential pitfalls.
“That first week really is going to be crucial – the first nine days, actually, until we get up into the mountains on stage 10,” Froome said on Wednesday. “In my mind, it’s almost as if each one of those nine stages is like a Classics race in its own right. You’ve almost got to do nine one-day classics before then starting the GC race up in the mountains. And before you get through those nine Classics, you’re not even entered for the GC race in that regard.”
John Collins says Celtic’s pre-season plans have been designed so the players can be as fit as possible for their upcoming UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
Collins explained that the aim is to limit travel ahead of the start of the new season and give the Scottish champions the best chance possible of qualifying for the group stages of Europe’s top club competition.
The Scot said: “Everybody associated with the club – players, coaches, supporters – wants to be in the Champions League, but so does every other team in Europe that’s in the qualifiers.
