**9.3.9 Cereals**

Consumption of rye and whole grain bread are protective factors for CRP according to our data. Low incidence of CRC and other cancers is observed in countries with high consumption of complex long-chained carbohydrates, which is found in cereals (Gerber, 2003). This fact is based on the presumption that complex long-chained carbohydrates successfully substitute fats as a source of energy. Recommended dose of cereals is 600-800 gram per day.
