Many types of^protease inhibitors survive cooking and processing; for example, high levels have been detected in cooked soybeans and tofu, and even in baked bread, notably whole grain bread.

John Weisburger and his colleagues at the American Health Foundation have documented that Finnish farmers, even though they overconsume fat from dairy products, seem somewhat immunized to colon cancer by their high consumption of whole grain cereal and wheat breads. High fiber wheat cereals also appear to block cancer from high fat diets in northern Sweden. A clue to their protection, scientists believe, is their larger stools. Says Dr. Weisburger: Colon cancer is inversely associated with larger stool size. And what does a bulkier stool from eating wheat bran have to do with malignancy?

Bread was originally made with whole wheat flour (flour containing all the cortex of the grain, called bran) or slightly bolted flour (partially sifted to remove some of the bran). The whole grain, whole wheat flour and whole wheat bread contain proteins (known as gluten), starch, vitamins A, Bl, B2, B6, K and niacin, minerals, enzymes and a fixed oil very rich in vitamin E contained in the germ. Both the germ and its oil are sometimes extracted and sold separately, but commercially sold wheat germs are best avoided, as they are dead and rapidly become rancid.

So when buying cereals, look for those that say "bran" or "whole grain" on the label. Keep your guard up. Don't reach for a box just because it says "oats" or "wheat," advises Michael H. Davidson, M.D., president of the Chicago Center for Clinical Research. Manufacturers can put almost anything on (or in) a box of cereal. A cereal labeled "wheat," for instance, could have only a trace of the grain and almost no fiber, Dr. Davidson says. So before putting any cereal in your cart, read the label. Mix and match.

So to get the most value, it's a good idea to shop for the whole grain. Fit in some flour. Using millet flour in place of wheat or corn flour is an easy way to pack more of this healthful grain into your diet. However, since millet lacks gluten, the protein in wheat flour that allows yeast breads to rise, it's best used for quick breads and other recipes that don't call for yeast. Store it carefully. Millet can go rancid rather quickly, giving up both its good taste and some of its essential nutrients. To keep millet fresh, be sure to store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

So when you're stocking up on high-fiber foods, look for breads, flour, and pasta that say "whole grain" on the label. Mix them up. To get a good mix of soluble and insoluble fiber, it helps to eat a variety of grains, Dr. Harland says. Foods made with oats, for example, contain mostly soluble fiber, while wheat and rice contain higher amounts of the insoluble kind. Take advantage of produce. Fruits and vegetables also contain healthy amounts of fiber, says Dr. Harland. Eating several servings of produce a day will provide much of the fiber you need.

While the first farmers merely cultivated wild grains, now brand names thrive on inventing different ways to package the starchy innards (the endosperms) of a few grains, which are virtually devoid of the nutrients and fiber found in the whole grain. This starch is mixed with fats, sugars, and salt at levels unprecedented in the history of our species. Between 1900 and 1976 alone, fat consumption rose by 25 percent, with most coming from saturated fat. Instead of wild roots, we chomp on potato chips. We skip the wild rice and reach for the puffed rice.

They insisted that vitamins were more effective when these other chemicals were not cooked out of the foods or processed out of the vitamins.

Our bodies need a constant supply of protein. We don't store it as we do fats.
