I'm also confused as to how "insufficient whole grain intake" has such a high correlation. "Whole wheat flour" hasn't been the norm in the US since the late 1800s and yet we only seem to have a Type-2 Diabetes problem recently.
Any study like this needs to have an explanation for the recentness of obesity and diabetes epidemics.
