A true "whole" grain has retained all three of its original nutrient-rich parts: the germ, endosperm,and bran. Even if a grainhas been processed, as are cracked wheat, rolled oats, or whole wheat pasta, it's still a whole grain if it retainsthese three parts in their original proportions, This is why foods with bran aren't necessarily whole grain. They may be missing the endosperm or the germ. Bran does supply fiber, which is important, but it doesn't include the "whole" grain nutrition package.
Oatmeal contains both beta-glucan (a cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber) and aventhramides, antioxidants thought to have blood vessel-protecting qualities.
Granola is just a product of oatmeal.

They all do the same thing. They add fiber to your diet which helps cut down cholesterol. They also help to keep you "regular". If you take too much, you get the Hershey squirts.

They all give fibre. But remember its carbohydrate. It helps cleanse your system. Carbs can make you feel happy. However, too much of it will make you feel sluggish. Just eat the right amount.
