So did I. Problem is, it's nearly impossible. Most of the wholesome-seeming products you find in the grab-and-go category have "whole grain" or "whole wheat" quite a ways down on the ingredients list, meaning you're not likely to get enough whole grain to make much of an impact on your diet. A wheat bagel at Dunkin' Donuts lists whole wheat as the third ingredient, for instance, as does a Starbucks 12-grain muffin. But at Auntie Ann's headquarters in Gap, Pa., a spokesperson assured us that its whole-wheat pretzel is predominantly whole wheat (though it also contains a whopping 1,120 milligrams of sodium).]]></description><author></author></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whole Grains, Half Truths]]></title><link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8376-2001Jul30.html?nav=rss_health/columns/eatingright</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8376-2001Jul30.html?nav=rss_health/columns/eatingright</guid><pubDate>Sat, 23 Apr 2005 13:05:52 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[You know you should be eating more "whole-grain" foods  nutrition authorities from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the glossy fitness magazine in the dentist's waiting room tell you this constantly.
