HOW MANY GRAMS OF WHOLE GRAINS ARE RECOMMENDED PER DAY
How many grams of whole grains are recommended per day? Well, none, actually.
Unlike proteins and fats, grains (whether whole grains or not) are not necessary in order to flourish physically or to sustain life. In other words, you can live without grains but you cannot live without protein and fats.
If you went on a protein-free diet or a fat-free diet, you would become ill and die.
However, if you went on a grain-free diet you would be fine (though you might have grain cravings), and indeed some existing health conditions might improve or disappear.
Our ancient ancestors did not have grains in their diet. Consequently, our bodies are not designed for this way of eating. Grains or refined carbohydrates are deliciously addictive but our bodies do not flourish on them because our ancestors did not evolve eating such foods. From around two-and-one-half million years ago until the Agricultural Revolution around ten thousand years ago grains were not consumed by our ancestors
Many, many people have a problem with grains and refined processed carbohydrates because our bodies are extremely similar to the bodies of our ancestors.

The diseases referred to as diseases of Western civilization, such as Heart disease, high blood pressure, Diabetes, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and many other conditions, became pervasive in developed countries in the twentieth century primarily because of a diet high in grains and refined processed carbohydrate.
If you choose to eat grains, then yes eat whole grains. However, if you have any dietary related diseases, or conditions that might be helped by diet, do not eat any grains whatsoever (whole grains or not).
If you do eat grains (whole grains or not), avoid or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates (apart from an occasional treat). As stated earlier, over-consumption of refined processed carbohydrates, which includes whole grains, is a major cause of many diet related disease and conditions.
