permalink The question: "I always see food labeled as 'multigrain,' 'whole grain,' and 'whole wheat.' Is there even a real difference between the three?" The expert: Amanda Bontempo, M.S., R.D, an ambulatory oncology dietitian at New York University Langone Medical Center The answer: These three are definitely different, with two of them being great for your health (and the other, not so much). The key word to look out for when shopping, no matter which grain you’re going for, is "whole." When you see that on a package, flip it over to double-check that the ingredients say "whole," as well.
